From birth at depths abysmal the Sacred Word has passed up to the summit; the cosmic ruler, the Lord of the Sacred Word, is her divinity. Just as the luminous day is born from light, so may the radiant singers shine far and wide!
Atharva Veda IV, 1,5
Truly the Poet’s wisdom enhances the glory of the Ordinance decreed by God the powerful, the ancient. He was born here together with many; they were found sleeping when the Eastern hemisphere was opened.
Atharva Veda IV, 1,6
Whoever you are who approach Atharvan our father and Brhaspati, the friend of the Gods, with reverence, you shall become the creator of all that is, a sage, a God, invulnerable, self-dependent.
Atharva Veda IV, 1,7
I ask you about the furthest limit of earth; Where, I ask, is the center of the world? I ask you about the Stallion’s prolific seed; I ask you about high heaven where abides the Word.
Rig Veda I, 164, 34
He who knows not the Veda’s eternal Syllable, that highest point on which dwell all the Gods, what has he to do with the Veda? Only those who know it sit here in peaceful assembly.
Rig Veda I, 164,39
