本の内容
What do a storm god with a thunderbolt, a king who gambles away his kingdom, and a wife who follows Death down a forest road have in common? They all live in Indian Myth and Legend, written by Donald A. Mackenzie, who died in 1936. He wrote it to give general readers a clear path into the myths kept in Sanskrit literature.
The route runs in order, from the Vedic hymns through the priestly books to the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. You see how a religion grows from songs about rain into thought about the soul.

重要なポイント 1/10
Sanskrit literature holds the myths of India
Mackenzie begins with the size of the treasure. The myths of India are kept in a vast store of Sanskrit writing, from the Vedic hymns to the prose books, the Forest Books, and the great epics. All of it holds the beliefs, ideals, and memories of a whole people.
The Ramayana and the Mahabharata grew out of popular songs about heroes and were later shaped by priests into sacred books. Hindus treat them as Christians treat the Bible.
Mackenzie also says how to read them. He quotes Robert Louis Stevenson, who said a learner must first think himself into sympathy with the teacher's position. If a saying seems puzzling, the reader may be looking through European eyes.
Listen to these tales as the people who cherish them have heard them.

『インド神話と伝説』についての質問
What is Indian Myth and Legend about?
It retells the myths and legends of India found in Sanskrit literature, from the Vedic hymns to Indra and Agni, through the Upanishads, to the epics Mahabharata and Ramayana, with comparisons to the myths of other peoples.
Who are the Pandavas and the Kauravas?
They are two families of cousins in the Mahabharata. The five Pandava brothers, including Yudhishthira, Bhima, and Arjuna, rival the hundred sons of the blind king Dhritarashtra, led by Duryodhana, in a struggle for the kingdom.
What are the Vedas and the Upanishads?
The Vedas are four collections of ancient hymns and chants to the gods. The Upanishads are later teachings, set as talks between teacher and pupil, which explore the World Soul and the self within each person.
What does yuga mean in Indian myth?
A yuga is an age of the world. Four ages, Krita, Treta, Dwapara, and Kali, make one cycle, and each is poorer in virtue than the one before. Brahma creates the world anew after every vast sequence of cycles.
Is this book based on real ancient texts?
Yes, it draws on the Rigveda hymns, the Upanishads, the Puranas, and the epics Mahabharata and Ramayana, which Mackenzie retells in his own way while adding scholarly background and comparisons with other mythologies.
