The Hymns of the Atharva Veda is a book by Maurice Bloomfield that offers a comprehensive translation and analysis of the ancient Hindu text, the Atharva Veda. The Atharva Veda is one of the four Vedas, a collection of hymns, mantras, and rituals that form the basis of Hinduism. Unlike the other three Vedas, the Atharva Veda contains a wide range of material, including spells, incantations, and charms, as well as more traditional hymns.Bloomfield’s translation provides readers with a detailed look at the language, structure, and themes of the Atharva Veda. He examines the various gods and goddesses that are worshiped in the text, as well as the rituals and practices associated with them. In addition, he explores the social and cultural context in which the hymns were written, shedding light on the beliefs and values of ancient Hindu society.The Hymns of the Atharva Veda is a valuable resource for scholars and students of Hinduism, as well as anyone interested in the history and culture of ancient India. Bloomfield’s translation is both accessible and informative, providing readers with a fascinating glimpse into the religious and spiritual practices of one of the world’s oldest and most enduring civilizations.When Agni, having entered the waters, burned, where the (gods) who uphold the order (of the universe) rendered homage (to Agni), there, they say, is thy origin on high: do thou feel for us, and spare us, O takman!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
