Paperback. Condizione: New. Language: English. About The Book -: This is the Ralph T.H. Griffith translation of the Atharvaveda. The Atharvaveda is a Vedic-era collection of spells, prayers, charms, and hymns. The Atharva-veda is a comparatively late addition to the three ancient Vedas the Rik, Yajus and Saman the Vedas repectively of recited praise, sacrifice and song or chanted hymn�which formed the foundation of early religious belief and worship of the Hindus. Unlike these three Vedas the Atharva-Veda derives the name by which it is generally known not form the nature of its contents but from a personage of indefinitely remote antiquity named Atharvan.

Griffith (Chaplain to the Marquess of Bath 1830), he was a B.A. of Queen's College and was elected Boden Professor of Sanskrit on Nov 24, 1849. He translated the Vedic scriptures into English.
