Lord Krishna is an avatara of Lord Vishnu

Atanu posted some Dubious translations in post 24 with regards to Rigveda.
The Sanskrit versions are as follows

Rv:1:87:1
पितुं नु सतोषं महो धर्माणं तविषीम |
यस्य तरितो वयोजसा वर्त्रं विपर्वमर्दयत ||

Rv:1:87:2
सवादो पितो मधो पितो वयं तवा वव्र्महे |
अस्माकमविता भव ||

Translations provided by Atanu

Rig Veda
1.187.01 I glorify Father, the great, the upholder, the strong, by whose invigorating power Trita slew the mutilated Vr.tra.

1.187.02 Savoury Pita_; sweet pita_; we worship you; become our protector.


There is no mention of father or Pita in the above verses.

These are one of those verses in Vedas which are undecipherable.

The words पितुं and पितो are different from the word पिता (Father)

Continuing with post above and referring to Post 24

It has to be made clear that there is no mention of a seperate Diety named Shiva in any of the 4 Vedas;

Atanu's Translation

187.03 Come to us, Pita_, Shiv with auspicious aids; a source of delight; not unpalatable; a friend well respected, and having none but agreeable properties

The Sanskrit Version

उप नः पितवा चर शिवः
शिवाभिरूतिभिः |
मयोभुरद्विषेण्यः सखा सुशेवो अद्वयाः

There are two words here शिव and शिवाभिरूतिभ

शिव means Auspicious.

पितवा once again is not FATHER(PITA)

In the RIGVEDA Indra was called Shiv-शिव(Auspicious)

rv 6:45:17

यो गर्णतामिदासिथापिरूती शिवः सखा |
स तवंन इन्द्र मर्ळय



And The slayer of Vrtra happens to be Indra in most of the verses in rigveda and Yazurveda:

And The slaye of Vrtra happens to be Indra in most of the verses in rigveda and Yazurveda:

Namaste Proud,

The translation is from Sarwasati Project and not mine.

The light that never goes down, which is of yellow hue is also the sweet progenitor of all, whose auspicious energy is called Soma. It cannot be a separate deity -- that is the point. It is the substratum. But as Jabala Upanishad teaches that unworshippable substratum is is Ishwara situtated in Varanasi -- in the junction between two eyes above the bridge of the nose.

The slayer of Vrtra is definitely Indra. But there are many verses in Veda which clarify that it was Agni and Soma who slew Vrtra. It was Brihaspati who guided Indra.

And the cited verse calrify that the intelligent input of the yellow hued pitA helps Indra slay vrtra. There is no abnormality in this. Since Keno Upanishad also chastises Agni, Vayu, and Indra on their pride.

Om Namah Shivaya
