Book Description

About the Book The Hymns of the Atharvaveda, translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith, offers a rich exploration of one of the four sacred texts of Vedic literature. The Atharvaveda is distinct in its focus on practical and mystical aspects of life, containing hymns that address healing, protection, prosperity, and spiritual well-being. Griffith's translation strives to make these ancient Sanskrit verses accessible to a broader audience, preserving their poetic and spiritual essence.

Unlike the Rigveda's hymns, which are predominantly devotional, the Atharvaveda incorporates elements of magic, rituals, and everyday concerns, reflecting the lived experiences of ancient Indian society. Its hymns reveal a deep under-standing of human psychology and nature's forces, often invoking divine intervention for personal and communal welfare. Griffith's scholarly yet poetic rendition serves as a valuable resource for understanding the spiritual and cultural practices of early Vedic civilization, bridging ancient wisdom with modern curiosity.

About the Author Ralph T. H. Griffith was a renowned British Indologist and Sanskrit scholar. He is best known for translating the four Vedas-Rigveda, Samaveda, Yajurveda, and Atharvaveda-into English, making these foundational texts of Hinduism accessible to a global audience. His works remain influential in the study of Vedic literature and culture.

Preface The Atharvaveda is a comparatively late addition to the three ancient Vedas, the Rk, Yajus, and Saman-the Vedas respectively of recited praise, sacrifice, and song or chanted hymn-which formed the foundation of the early religious belief and worship of the Hindus. Unlike these Vedas, the Atharvaveda derives the name by which it is generally known, not from the nature of its contents but from a personage of indefinitely remote antiquity named Atharvan, who is spoken of in the Rgveda as the 'first priest who 'rubbed Agni forth' or produced fire by attrition, who first by sacrifices made the paths' or established ways of communication between men and Gods, and over-came hostile demons by means of the miraculous powers which he had received from heaven. To the descendants of this Atharvan, associated with the Angirases and the Bhrgus, members of other ancient priestly families often mentioned in the Rgveda, the collected hymns-called also the Atharvängirasas and the Bhrgvangirasas, that is the Songs of the Atharvans and Angirases and the Songs of the Bhrgus and Angirases, and, in the Gopatha-Brahmara, the Atharvana Veda and the Angirasa-veda-were it is said, originally revealed.
