AW: clarification needed

[Guest guest]

Sundarji,

 

But some scholars also stated that these must have been genuine parts of

those Vedas which later date found their place in Atharvaveda! We know that

we have lost some parts of the vedas and upanishads. So what I think is

that, these Mantras which are referred to be from Atharvna might have been

there in the other vedas, but while those upanishads remained, those vedic

hymns are lost. I stand to be corrected.

 

Yours,

Madhava
