This is the 42nd volume of the series on Sacred Books of the East as part of the UNESCO Collection of Representative works. The present volume of translation comprises about one-third of the entire material of the Atharva-Veda in the text of the Saunaka-school. But it represents the contents and spirit of the fourth vedas in a far greater measure than it indicated by this numerical statement.
About the Author
Friedrich Max Muller was a great linguist and scholar born in Germany. He began his study of Sanskrit under Prof. Brockhaus and soon chose it as his special pursuit. The East India Company commisioned him to edit the Rigveda, which resulted in the publication of six giant volumes on the subject. His publications include a Sanskrit translation of Kalidasa's Meghaduta, History of Ancient Sanskrit Literature, and Introduction to the Science of Religion. Before his death in 1900 at Oxford, he was crowned with most honours and awards a scholar could aspire for.
