N2 - The paper deals with the transformation of the image of Brahmarakshasa from Vedic to modern times. Authors seek to study several literary tests in Sanskrit (Rig-Veda, Mahabharata, Manusmriti, Puranas, Pancatantra etc.) and in modern Hindi (mostly by Gajanan Madhav Muktibodh). Their main goal is to analyze the development of this important but to a great extend forgotten mythological image from the perspective of its most important achievements against their historical background and socio-cultural context. This paper is a modest but the very first attempt to perform such kind of study of the image of Brahmarakshasa.
