Thefifth Mandala of theRigveda has 87 hymns.[1] Most hymns in this book are attributed to theAtri family. The mandala is one of the "family books" (mandalas 2-7), the oldest core of the Rigveda, which were composed in early vedic period(1500-1000 BCE).[2]
The hymns are dedicated mainly toAgni andIndra, theVisvadevas, theMaruts, the twin-deityMitra-Varuna and theAsvins. Two hymns each are dedicated toUshas (the dawn) and toSavitar, one each to theApris,Parjanya (rain),Prthivi (the Earth) andVaruna. 5.40 addressesSurya andAtri besides Indra.[3]
