Atharvavedaparishishta 2.5

English (machine translation) 2.5

Language: English

2.5.1

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

He whose royal priest should ever be a Jalada or a Mauda / suffers the loss of his realm within a year or ten months.

2.5.3

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

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

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.
