DESCRIPTION
Orissa is a place for the study of Paippalada Sakha of Atharvaveda. From Mayurabhanja areas palm-leaf manuscripts are abundantly discovered. The Brahmins of that Sakha are still chanting those mantras. Prof. K.C. Acharya devoted a lot of time to the study of Atharvaveda. His contribution cannot be forgotten so far as the study of Paippalada Samhita is concerned. This anthology of papers on Atharvaveda is prepared to pay glowing tribute to the great scholar. In this volume, papers on different dimensions on Atharvaveda, the areas, of which are little known to the scholarly world, are discussed.
