Question

    Identify the incorrect statement about the Rig Veda.

    A The Rig Veda consists of 1,028 hymns. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B It contains a total of 10 Mandals. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Indra is the chief deity mentioned in the Rig Veda. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Gopatha Brahmana is part of the Rig Veda. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The statement that the Gopatha Brahmana is part of the Rig Veda is incorrect. The Rig Veda, the oldest of the four Vedas, primarily consists of hymns dedicated to various deities, with Indra being a prominent figure. The Aitareya and Kaushitaki are the Brahmanas associated with the Rig Veda, not the Gopatha Brahmana.
