Pranam
Q3 We always run after the west ignorance of not having read our assets
in India and say HE SAID IT THAT MAN SAID IT " etc; mANY VERSES ARE THERE
but few I quote here on the same subject from here:
Rig Veda (RV.II,12.12), यः सप्तरश्मिर्व्र्षभस्तुविष्मानवास्र्जत सर्तवे
सप्तसिन्धून |
यो रौहिणमस्फुरद वज्रबाहुर्द्यामारोहन्तंस जनास इन्द्रः ||
*Meaning*: the sun containing seven colour rays is the cause of water flow
in the rivers (because of rain). After rain, it again attracts water from
earth and this cycle goes on.
आदह सवधामनु पुनर्गर्भत्वमेरिरे | दधाना नामयज्ञियम ||RV 1 6 4
It means that the water which gets divided in minute particles due to the
heat of sun is carried by wind and after the conversion into cloud it rains
again and again.
इन्द्रो दीर्घाय चक्षस आ सूर्यं रोहयद दिवि | वि गोभिरद्रिमैरयत ||R V 1
7 3
God has created sun and placed it so, that the whole universe gets
illuminated, likewise this is the rule of universe to extracts up water
continuously and then convert it to cloud and ultimately discharge as rain.
य ईङखयन्ति पर्वतान तिरः समुद्रमर्णवम |मरुद्भिरग्न आ गहि ||R V 1 19 7
transfer of water from earth to the atmosphere by the wind (I, 19.7)
amūryā upa sūrye yābhirvā sūryaḥ saha | tā no hinvantvadhvaram ||1 23 17
RV breaking up of water into small particles and evaporation due to sun
rays and subsequent rain (water molecules even at those days)
nīcāvayā abhavad vṛtraputrendro asyā ava vadharjabhāra |
uttarā sūradharaḥ putra āsīd dānuḥ śaye sahavatsā na dhenuḥ ||RV 1 32 9
the formation of cloud due to the water evaporated from the mother earth
and its come back to its mother in the form of rain
atiṣṭhantīnāmaniveśanānāṃ kāṣṭhānāṃ madhye nihitaṃśarīram |
vṛtrasya niṇyaṃ vi carantyāpo dīrghaṃ tama āśayadindraśatruḥ ||RV 1 32
10 water is never stationery. It continuously gets evaporated and comes
down, but due to smallness, we can’t see the rising water particles.
In short , this is known atleast 10000 years back and someone reads from
the west: “Rig Veda say that the rays of the Sun are the cause of rains and
that the sun extracts water from all parts of the world and the start of
creation is through fire only, which is continuously engaged in extraction
and discharge of water”.’
ṛtaṃ devāya kṛṇvate savitra indrāyāhighne na ramanta āpaḥ |
ahar-aharyātyakturapāṃ kiyātyā prathamaḥ sargha āsām ||
yo vṛtrāya sinamatrābhariṣyat pra taṃ janitrī viduṣa uvāca |
patho radantīranu joṣamasmai dive-dive dhunayo yantyartham ||RV 2 30 1&2
सुगस्ते अग्ने सनवित्तो अध्वा युक्ष्वा सुते हरितो रोहितश्च |
ये वा सद्मन्नरुषा वीरवाहो हुवे देवानां जनिमानिसत्तः || RV 7 42 2
sughaste aghne sanavitto adhvā yukṣvā sute harito rohitaśca |
ye vā sadmannaruṣā vīravāho huve devānāṃ janimānisattaḥ || 7 42 2
Rig Veda (RV. VIII,6.19, VIII,6.20; and VIII, 12.3) states the causation of
water evaporation, formation of cloud, rain, flow of water and its storage
in oceans etc.
devānāṃ māne prathamā atiṣṭhan kṛntatradeṣamupara udāyan |
trayastapanti pṛthivimanūpa dva bṛbūkaṃ vahataḥpurīṣam ||RV 10 27 33
At the start of creation, sun, etc. are created, rainfall is caused from
sky and the vegetation is created by the combination of cloud, air and sun.
The sun extracts water in the form of vapour & air, causes it to form cloud
and rain.
One type of water goes up and other type of water comes down, both of
these may go to the atmosphere after treatment of sun’s heat. From up they
flow into rivers after rain and get stored there. (Sama Vedam Purvachika
6.607)

Yajur Veda explains the process of water movement from clouds to earth and
its flow through channels and storage into oceans and further evaporation.
A.V.,I,32.4, A.V., V,24.5, A.V., I,5.2, Varamihira smrithi 54 2,
Mahabharatham 12.183.15&16, Matsya, Linga, Vayu, Brahmand Puranas all says
so. Valmiki Ramayanam 3.27 many verses,
Following the Rig Veda, the Satpatha Brahmana also recognizes sixty three
winds (SB Part I, 2.5.1.13). The same text calls hoar frost as PrUsHvA;
The Taithiriya Aranyaka (I.9.8) says that there are seven types of air
currents or winds in the atmosphere which produce seven types of clouds of
the same appellation. *These ARE varahva, svataoasa, vithunmahasa, dupama,
shvapaya, gruhamega, aasheemividiksha* and creates circumstances which are
responsible for condensation and good rainfall. KR IRS 23421
