Jāga and Yajñya (fire Sacrifice). The Final Reality is summed up as the self, made up of intelligence, with a body of spirit, a form of light. The word Atharvanigam means the veda of the tharvan-The firepriest. The Śruti says-Satyaṁ Jñañam anantaṁ brahma. One of the Cardinal beliefs of Hinduism lies in the expression ‘I am Brahman’ and ‘Thou art that.’ The Vena Sūkta, The Sāmmanasya hymn, The Virāt hymns, The Skaṁbha hymns, The Bhūmisūkta are the principle hymns of the Atharvanigam.
