Ancient India› Vedic Age
Which of the following inscriptions mentions the names of Vedic Gods Indra, Varuna, Mitra and Nasatyas ?
Answer c.
The answer is (c) Boghazkoi. This Hittite-site treaty tablet of about 1380 BCE names Indra, Varuna, Mitra and the Nasatyas as witnesses. Boghazkoi (ancient Hattusa) in Anatolia, Turkey, gave a treaty between the Hittite king Suppiluliuma and the Mitanni king Mattiwaza, dated about 1380 BCE. The gods swearing the oath include Indra, Varuna, Mitra and the Nasatyas (the Ashvins). These are Vedic names, so the tablet is key evidence for the early spread of Indo-Aryan speakers and for the age of the Rigveda. The Indian inscriptions listed are Ashokan edicts and a later Saka record, which carry no Vedic god names.
