베다 초기에 나타난 죽음(mrtyu) 개념의 기원과 전개 양상 = A Study on Death and Afterlife Conceptions in the Early Vedas

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this article is to study have focused on Death(“Mrtyu” in Sanskirt) and afterlife conceptions from the Rig Veda to the Brahmanas. In ancient Indian death and afterlife conceptions are discussed in broad overview of the most relevant Vedic texts(The Rig veda, the Atharva veda, the Satapatha Brahmana, and the Jaiminiya Brahaman). In this paper, I have three objectives: (1) This chapter is, fir st, demonstrating that the origin of Death in the Rig veda is to prolong life of a hundred years(Ayus) and postpone death. Seco nd, this describes how ritual food serves as a medium of vitalit y for the preta(祖靈) in transition between one life and the next and opens questions about the ``life`` of the departed among the l iving. (2) I analysis focused on Death conceptions in the Brahm ana Texts. In this period, the dreaded possibility of redeath(pun armrtyu, 再死; people who die may be subject to death once a gain.) in the realm beyond occupied his mind. (3) I discuss that the vedic afterlife conceptions has many-side aspects. I focus on the hellish realms. The deceased, moral transgressors proceed to hellish realms from descending into ``darkness pit`` and to ``the house of clay`` from which there is no return. Surveying what we have discussed, As I shows in regard to the death, the characteristics of the death, particularly redeath, and of the beings associated with and consigned to them in the Vedic conceptual rebirth are treated through a survey of pre-U panisadic passages. This observation lead us, necessarily, to a relating debate: The term underwent further widening as the co nceptions of death and the after-death state underwent drastic change within the ideology of rebirth, coming to signify the lib eration from the cycle of rebirth. Certainly, the present paper was limited in scope. Further studies on different veda texts(; up anisads) are needed.
