Atharvāṅgirasa m. nt. (sg., pl.),

Atharvāṅgīrasī f.: Name of one of the

four Vedas, or of an extract from that Veda.

Bhagavān (Nārāyaṇa) told the seven

sages (Marīci, Atri and others 12. 322. 27)

that the śāstra composed by them in a

hundred thousand ślokas and from which the

dharma proceeds is one which is approved

by (i. e. is in accordance with) the Ṛks,

Yajus and Sāmans, as also the Atharvāṅgi-

rasas (kṛtaṃ śatasahasraṃ hi ślokānām

idam uttamam/ … yasmād dharmaḥ

pravartate// … ṛgyajuḥsāmabhir juṣṭam

atharvāṅgirasais tathā) 12. 322. 36-37; when

Kṛṣṇa asked Arjuna to insult Yudhiṣṭhira

which was as good as ‘killing’ him, he told

Arjuna that his instruction was according

to the Atharvāṅgirasī Śruti which was the

best among the Śrutis and which should be

practised without hesitation by those who

desired welfare (atharvāṅgirasī hy eṣā

śrutīnām uttamā śrutiḥ/avicāryaiva

kāryaiṣā śreyaḥkāmair naraiḥ sadā//) 8. 49.

69; an extract (udāharaṇam) from the

Atharvaveda used by the sage Aṅgiras (or

Atharvāṅgiras 5. 18. 6, 8) to praise Indra was

to be known as Atharvāṅgirasa (atharvāṅ-

girasaṃ nāma asmin vede bhaviṣyati/

udāharaṇam etad dhi) 5. 18. 5-7; the

Śakti hurled by Yudhiṣṭhira at Śalya is

compared with the kṛtyā produced by the

mantras from the Atharvāṅgirasa (kṛtyām

atharvāṅgirasīm ivogrām) 9. 16. 43. [See

Atharvan, Atharvaśiras, Ātharvaṇa]
