Actually it was composed by a Christian - the text shows him to have been a French Jesuit missionary, who did not necessarily know Sanskrit - in order to convert Hindus to Christianity. The controversy surrounding the spurious Veda continues, involving a number of scholars and missionaries particularly in the question of whether or not the Veda was composed in Sanskrit or French. 410 0$aUniversity of Pennsylvania studies on South Asia ;$v1. 606 $aHinduism$vControversial literature$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aHinduism$xEssence, genius, nature$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aHinduism$xHistory$y18th century 615 0$aHinduism 615 0$aHinduism$xEssence, genius, nature 615 0$aHinduism$xHistory 676 $a294.5/921 701 $aRocher$b Ludo$0642145 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810642603321 996 $aEzourvedam$94062790 997 $aUNINA
