Abstract

Atharvaveda is the store house of almost all branches of knowledge. This is the last and the fourth Veda. Sage Atharvan is the seer of this Veda. Here agricultural knowledge is revealed mainly in some hymns of the second, third, sixth, seventh and twelfth books. Many agricultural terms are also found in this scripture. Hymns for the prosperity and protection of field, corps and cattle are found in the seventh book. Thus this ancient scripture provides a vast knowledge of agriculture which appears to be beneficial at the present time also. The present paper aims at highlighting the knowledge of agriculture revealed in the Atharvaveda and its present relevance.
