Description:
Vol. I (Kandas 1 – 6)
Book I
The first book is made up mostly of hymns of 4 verses each, and no other ground of its existence as a book needs to be sought. It contains 30 such hymns, but also one (34) of 5 verses, two (II and 29) of 6 verses, one (7) of 7, and one (3) of 9. There are conjectural reasons to be give in more than one of these cases for the exceptional length. Hymns of 4 verses are also found in books vi. And vii. (12 in vi., and II in vii.), also 9 in xix. The whole book has been translated by Weber, Indische Studien, vol. iv. (1858), pages 393 – 430.
Vol. II (Kandas 7 – 13)
Book VII
The seventh book is made up mostly of hymns of one verse or of two verses. No other one of the books i.-xviii. Contains such hymns. Book vii. Is thus distinguished from all the others of the three grand divisions (to wit, books i.-vii., books viii. – xii, and book xiii. –xviii.) of the Atharvan collection and constitutes of the close of the first of those divisions. If we consider the facts set forth forth in the paragraphs introductory to the foregoing books (see pages 1, 37, 84, 142, 220, 281, and especially 142), it appears that this division is made up of those seven books in which the number – normal or prevalent – of verses to a hymsn runs from one to eight.
Vol. III (Kandas 14 – 20)
Book XIV – [Nuptial Hymns]
Nuptial ceremonies – This fourteenth book is the second of the six books (xii – xviii.) that form the third grand division of the Atharvan collection, and shows very clearly that unity of subject which is the distinguishing characteristic of the books of that division. The book has been translated by Weber, Indische Studien, vol. v. (1862), pages 178 – 217; and the parts peculiar to our text by Ludwig in his Der Rgveda, vol. iii. (Die Mantra – literature), pages 470 – 476. The bhasya is again lacking.
