The Word

The Word, verily, is greater than name. The Word, in fact, makes

known the Rig Veda, the Yajur Veda, the Sama Veda, the Atharva​

Veda as the fourth, and the ancient lore as the fifi fth: the Veda​

of Vedas, the ritual for ancestors, calculus, the augural sciences,​

the knowledge of the signs of the times, ethics, political science,​

sacred knowledge, theology, knowledge of the spirits, military​

science, astrology, the science of snakes and of celestial beings.​
