Kanda 9
Marriage & Cosmic Cow
Kāṇḍa 9 ialah bahagian Atharvaveda yang ringkas tetapi sarat dengan gagasan, di mana tujuan ritual rumah tangga (kemakmuran, kekayaan ternakan, perlindungan, kesihatan) diasaskan pada prinsip kosmik seperti ṛta dan kāla. Himne-himnenya melangkaui kerja-mantera yang segera kepada kosmologi yang bersifat renungan, terutama himne Rohita (Matahari merah) yang menafsirkan kuasa suria sebagai daya yang menopang dan menertibkan. Seiring dengan arus falsafi ini, bahan berkaitan Soma dan keberkesanan korban turut hadir, menghubungkan penglihatan batin dan ketertiban ritual.
