A detailed study of the function, deifications and interrelation of Vedic females deities, on the basis of the original sources alongwith the analysis of the oriental and occidental Indologists is attempted in the present work. Two different but equally important approaches to the study of the Vedas in the modern world have been used. To make it a comparative study, the material related to the Greek and Semantic female deities has also been used.

The present attempt though based mainly on the Vedic literature as the major source of information goes deeper into the history of cultures and civilization. The study of phenomena would be of immense interest of scholars of Sanskrit, history and religion. An attempt has also been made to study the various aspects of the Vedic female deities.
