ATHARVA VEDA

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 827 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ARN-AUD
ATHARVA VEDA , the
fourth
 
book
  of the Vedas, the
ancient
  scriptures of the
Brahman
 
religion
 . Like the other Vedas it is divided into Samhita, Brahmanas and Upanishads, representing the spiritual
element
  and its magical and nationalistic development. The mantras or sayings composing the Samhita of the Atharva Veda differ from those of the other Vedas by being in the form of spells rather than prayers or
hymns
 , and seem to indicate a stage of
religion
 
lower
  than that of the Rig Veda.
