The Rig Veda

The Rig Veda itself gets 5 stars. This text is amazing. It's very dense and I can tell now that it isn't really meant to be read through like a novel. It's more meant for shorter daily readings or detailed study. This translation is adequate, but it uses a word for miser than is very close to a racial slur. There is nothing so particular about that word that one couldn't just use "miser" and allow me to listen to the audio book aloud. Yes. Words mean something. Yes. The word was used according to its dictionary definition. That's not the complaint. The translator had a choice and made the wrong one.
