2.5.1
yathaiva paṅgur adhvānam apakṣī cāṇḍajo nabhaḥ | evaṃ chandogaguruṇā rājā vṛddhiṃ na gacchati ||
Just as a lame man cannot travel the path, and a wingless bird cannot traverse the sky, / even so a king does not attain prosperity through a Chandoga spiritual guide.
2.5.2
purodhā jalado yasya maudo vā syāt kadā cana | abdād daśabhyo māsebhyo rāṣṭrabhraṃśaṃ sa gacchati ||
He whose royal priest should ever be a Jalada or a Mauda / suffers the loss of his realm within a year or ten months.

palālakam idaṃ sarvam ṛgyajuḥsāmasaṃsthitam | sāraṃ sāraparaṃ dhānyam atharvāṅgiraso viduḥ ||
All this that is contained in the Ṛg-, Yajur-, and Sāmaveda is mere chaff; / the knowers of Atharvan and Aṅgiras know the grain that is the essential, supreme essence.
2.5.4
trayo lokās trayo devās trayo vedās trayo 'gnayaḥ | ardhamātre layaṃ yānti vedaś cātharvaṇaḥ smṛtaḥ ||
The three worlds, the three gods, the three Vedas, and the three fires / merge into the half-mora, and that is traditionally known as the Atharvaveda.
2.5.5
na tithir na ca nakṣatraṃ na graho na ca candramāḥ | atharvamantrasaṃprāptyā sarvasiddhir bhaviṣyati ||
Neither lunar day nor lunar mansion, neither planet nor moon [can impede]: / through the acquisition of the Atharvan mantra, all success will come to pass.
