	Atharvaveda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Atharvaveda (Sanskrit: अथर्ववेद, atharvavéda, a tatpurusha compound of atharvān, a type of priest, and veda meaning "knowledge") is a sacred text of Hinduism, and one of the four Vedas, often called the "fourth Veda".
		According to tradition, the Atharvaveda was mainly composed by two groups of rishis known as the Bhrigus and the Angirasas.
		The Atharvaveda is also the first Indic text to mention Iron (as śyāma ayas, literally "fl metal"), so that scholarly consensus dates the bulk of the Atharvaveda hymns to the early Indian Iron Age, corresponding to the 12th to 10th centuries BC or the early Kuru kingdom.

		The Western scholars basing their arguments on the Purusasukta and the word abhicara meaning sorcery and charms have concluded that the Vedas are three and Atharvaveda does not belong to the main body as it deals with fl magic.
		This conclusion is wrong; for, the Atharvaveda deals with all those evils that have plagued mankind from the dawn of creation and suggests remedies in the form of medicines and prayers.

		As is well known, the Atharvaveda has a collection of 72 Parisishtas (=appendices) attached to it, and the Uttamapatala (= Parisishta # 46) deals with certain rites, especially the ‘Vedavrata’.
		First, the text belongs to Atharvaveda and most literature appended to this Veda is later in origin than the corresponding works appended to the other three Vedas.
		Within the Atharvaveda Parisishta collection, the initial mantras of the four Vedas are employed for the pusyabhiseka (5.3.4) and the recitation of the first and the last mantras of the Vedas is prescribed for the removal of sins accrued because of acceptance of charity (2.6.4)
