<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The '''sixth Mandala''' of the [[Rigveda]] has 75 hymns, mainly to [[Agni]] and [[Indra]]. Most hymns in this book are attributed to the ''{{IAST|bārhaspatya}}'' family of [[Angiras (sage)|Angirasas]], especially to [[Bharadvaja]]. It is one of the "family books" (mandalas 2-7), the oldest core of the Rigveda.<br />
<br />
Deities addressed besides Indra and Agni include the [[Vishvadevas]], [[Pushan]], the [[Asvins]], [[Ushas]] (Dawn), the [[Maruts]], [[Dyaus]] and [[Prthivi]] (Heaven and Earth), [[Savitr|Savitar]], [[Brhaspati]] and [[Soma (deity)|Soma]]-[[Rudra]].<br />
<br />
The [[Rigvedic rivers|rivers]] mentioned in the sixth Mandala are the [[Sarasvati River|Sarasvati]], [[Yavyavati]] and [[Hariupiya]]. RV 6.61 is entirely dedicated to Sarasvati. In RV 6.45.31 the term Ganga occurs which refers to the River Ganges.<br />
<br />
Talageri (2000), based on his proposition of an ''westward'' expansion early Rigvedic culture from [[Harayana]] (contrary to the nearly universally assumed eastward expansion from [[Gandhara|Gandhari]]) and his identification of some [[Rigvedic rivers]], claims this Mandala as the oldest of the family books.<ref>Talageri, Shrikant. (2000) ''[[The Rigveda: A Historical Analysis]]''</ref><br />
