The movements of stars and planets according to Vedic literature is guided by

  • A.The Will of God
  • B.The Will of the Devatas
  • C.Ṛta
  • D.Yajña

Answer: C

According to Vedic literature the movements of the stars and planets are guided by Rta, the cosmic order that governs the course of nature and of the gods themselves.

The will of God and the will of the devatas are not the guiding principle in the Vedic view, in which the gods themselves follow Rta, and Yajna is the ritual by which people take part in the order, not the cause of the heavenly movements.

Rta is also the root of the later idea of dharma.
