ATHARVAVED
Atharaved which is also known as the book of spell. It is the fourth and final Ved, which is depicted as the wisdom of the Atharvans(procedures of everyday life) . The Atharva Ved focuses on “spells, charms and incantations”, which promise to “fulfill all worldly desires of human mind”
The Atharva Ved stands apart from the other three Veds, because it does not treat śrauta (sacred) rituals as its main topic but represents in part the popular side of Vedic culture and religion. It contains spells for healing various illnesses, spells for removal of demons, etc.
Its hymns can be categorized into different types—those to obtain long life, those to acquire desired good wishes from deities for households, those to ward off misfortune, and those to excuse errors, to name a few. There are also sorcery in the Atharva Veda, but these are used to benefit oneself and to harm others, and are therefore considered as auspicious.
The Samhitas in the Atharva Veda have written accounts of Surgical and medical speculations, it includes mantras and verses for treating a variety of ailments. For instance, the verses in hymn of the recently discovered Paippalada version of the Atharvaveda, it discusses how to deal with an open fracture, and how to wrap the wound with Rohini plant (Ficus Infectoria, native to India). And so have speculations been made about remedy from herbal medicines, on the nature of man, life, good and evil and even spells and prayers to gain a lover. And some hymns were even about peaceful prayers and philosophical speculations, the origin of the universe and the existence of God himself. It is indeed a collection of all sort of speculations that quite often leaves us bewildered.
