The language of the *Atharva* is, from a grammatical point of view, decidedly later than that of the *Rigveda*, but earlier than that of the Brāhmaṇas. In vocabulary it is chiefly remarkable for the large number of popular words which it contains, and which from lack of opportunity do not appear elsewhere.
