TOC right The tone accent of Vedic Sanskrit , or Vedic accent for brevity, is traditionally divided by Sanskrit grammar ians into three qualities, ud tta raised acute accent , middle tone , anud tta not raised grave accent , lower tone and svarita sounded circumflex , higher tone . The accents Ud tta marks the place of the inherited Proto Indo European accent PIE accent . In transliteration, therefore, ud tta is usually marked with an acute accent , and anud tta and svarita are unmarked since their positions follow automatically from the position of ud tta. For example, in the first pada of the Rigveda , the transliteration IAST agn m e pur hita Agni I praise, the purohita high priest . means that the eight syllables have an intonation of A U S A A U S A where A anud tta, U ud tta, S svarita , or iconically, tt tt IAST e is a finite verb and thus has no ud tta, but its first syllable is svarita because the previous syllable is ud tta. Vedic meter is independent of Vedic accent and exclusively determined by syllable weight, so that metrically, the pada reads as tt . . .x tt viz., the second half pada is Iamb foot iambic . In some cases an accented syllable disappeared due to linguistic changes in Speech oral transmission of the samhita before it was written down, so that a svarita may be next after an anud tta this is a so called independent svarita . In such cases, the svarita syllable is marked in transcription with a grave accent . For example in RV 1.10.8c, IAST j a s varvat r ap U S U S A A A U tt tt became IAST j a sv rvat r ap U S S A A A U tt tt Independent svarita is caused by sandhi of adjacent vowels.

Vala IAST val , meaning enclosure in Vedic Sanskrit , is an Asura of the Rigveda and the Atharvaveda , the brother of Vrtra . Historically, it has the same origin as the Vrtra myth, being derived from the same root, and from the same root also as Varuna , val var PIE wel to cover, to enclose perhaps cognate to veil . Parallel to Vrtra the blocker , a stone serpent slain by Indra to liberate the rivers, Vala is a stone cave, split by Indra intoxicated and strengthened by Soma , identified with Brhaspati in 4.50 and 10.68 or Trita in 1.52, aided by the Angiris Angiras as in 2.11 , to liberate the cows and Ushas , hidden there by the Panis . Indra descends from an Indo Iranian mythology Indo Iranian god known as vrtra g han virtually PIE wltro gwhen slayer of the blocker . Triptolemos is analysed by Janda 1998 as a Greek continuation of a variant of the epithet, trigw t welumos , a terpsimbrotos compound cracker of the enclosure , Greek w elumos referring to the casings of grain in Greek being descended from the same root wel . On such grounds, a rock or mountain welos or welumos split by a heroic deity, liberating Dawn or the Sun is reconstructed for Proto Indo European mythology the Sun in the rock myth, sometime also speculated to be connected with the making of fire from flintstone . Already in 2.24, the myth is given a mystical interpretation, with warlike Indra replaced by Brahmanaspati , the lord of prayer, who split Vala with prayer brahman rather than with the thunderbolt. Vala is mentioned 23 times in the Rigveda, Vala appears in hymns RV 1 .11, 52, 62, RV 2 .11, 12, 14, 15, 24, RV 3 .30, 34, RV 4 , 50, RV 6 .18, 39, RV 8 .14, 24, RV 10 .67, 68, 138.
