Shani Dev.

Shani is a deva and son of Surya and his wife Chhaya, hence also known as Chayyaputra. He is the elder brother of Yama, the Hindu god of death, who in some scriptures corresponds to the deliverance of justice. Surya's two sons Shani and Yama judge. Shani gives us the results of one's deeds through one's life through appropriate punishments and rewards; Yama grants the results of one's deeds after death. Pierre Sonnerat (1748-1814) was a French naturalist and explorer who made several voyages to Southeast Asia between 1769 and 1781. He published this two-volume account of his voyage of 1774-81 in 1782. Volume 1 deals exclusively with India, whose culture Sonnerat very much admired, and is especially noteworthy for its extended discussion of religion in India, Hinduism in particular. Volume 2 covers Sonnerat's travels to China, Burma, Madagascar, the Maldives, Mauritius, Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka), Indonesia, and the Philippines. The book is illustrated with engravings based on Sonnerat's drawings. Among the most interesting illustrations are Sonnerat's pictures of various Hindu deities. Sonnerat was also a dedicated ornithologist and bird collector, and the book describes and depicts a number of species that he was the first to identify.

Shani Dev.
Légende:
Traduction automatique: Shani est un deva et fils de Surya et de sa femme Chhaya, donc également connu sous le nom de Chayyaputra. Il est le frère aîné de Yama, le dieu hindou de la mort, qui dans certaines écritures correspond à la délivrance de la justice. Les deux fils de Surya, Shani et Yama, jugent. Shani nous donne les résultats de nos actes tout au long de notre vie à travers des punitions et des récompenses appropriées ; Yama accorde les résultats de ses actes après la mort. Pierre Sonnerat (1748-1814) était un naturaliste et explorateur français qui effectua plusieurs voyages en Asie du Sud-Est entre 1769 et 1781. Il publia en 1782 ce récit en deux volumes de son voyage de 1774-1781. Le volume 1 traite exclusivement de l'Inde, dont culture que Sonnerat admire beaucoup, et est particulièrement remarquable pour sa discussion approfondie de la religion en Inde, de l'hindouisme en particulier. Le volume 2 couvre les voyages de Sonnerat en Chine, en Birmanie, à Madagascar, aux Maldives, à Maurice, à Ceylan (aujourd'hui Sri Lanka), en Indonésie et aux Philippines. L'ouvrage est illustré de gravures d'après les dessins de Sonnerat. Parmi les illustrations les plus intéressantes figurent les images de Sonnerat représentant diverses divinités hindoues. Sonnerat était également un ornithologue et collectionneur d'oiseaux dévoué, et le livre décrit et représente un certain nombre d'espèces qu'il fut le premier à identifier.
