    Atharvaśiras nt.: Name of an

    Upaniṣad ?

    A Brahmacārī who had observed the

    vows (yatavrata) and who had studied the

    Atharvaśiras (atharvatiraso'dhyetā) was to

    be looked upon as respectable (paṅktipāvana

    ‘who purifies those who sit along with him in

    a line to take food’) 13. 90. 22 [cf. ya idam

    atharvaśiro brāhmaṇo'dhīte aśrotriyaḥ

    śrotriyo bhavati section 7 of the Atharva-

    śiras Upaniṣad]; A Brāhmaṇa taught

    Kuntī a group of mantras which were

    revealed in the Atharvaśiras (tatas tām

    anavadyāṅgīm grāhayām āsa vai dvijaḥ/

    mantragrāmaṃ tadā rājann atharvaśirasi

    śrutaṃ); whichever deity Kuntī chose to

    invite with one of the mantras from this

    mantragrāma was sure to arrive and be

    under her control 3. 289. 20. [See
