Abstract

Hindu cosmology has to do also with cosmogony and with cosmography. Within the context of Hindu cosmology, it is not easy to mark a definite border between physical, religious or mythological, and philosophical cosmology. The best way to distinguish different topics within this conceptual area is to refer to their different sources, mainly the four literary genres represented by Vedic, Epic, Philosophical, and Tantric literatures.
