In plain words
This Veda contains astronomy, logic, sculpture, painting and the science of matter. It has won a very great name in mathematics and in the science of bodily marks too. Many foreign scientists have kept on recognising the many wondrous marvels of this astronomy.
Once a great philosopher, one Sir W. Hunter, recognised the principle of the astronomy of this Atharvaveda and kept describing it in many ways as surpassing the land of Greece. Gems such as these, divine, precious and sacred, we are unable to recognise. In Russia, in the north, within about a thousand miles of Moscow, there is a large city. In that city they have built up books of many kinds that embrace Bhāratīya culture into a great, big library. That is the city of Kājā. Within four thousand miles of this city of Kājā the river Sukhā keeps flowing. Today they call that very river Sukhā the Anū. Through the Atharva śāstra they came to recognise that very precious gold was to be had near it. There is a big city there called Vladivostok. When men of ability who had well recognised the principle of this Atharvaveda made a study near this city, as many as sixty-nine gold mines came to light here. But they recognised the holiness of the people of Bhārata, and describing at great length how such great good fortune had come to them, by way of gratitude for it they began to call it by a fine Bhāratīya name. Its name is Mahānidhi, they said. Is that not a Bhāratīya name! That is to say, holding that this was the grace of the Atharvaveda that came from Bhārata, they have been calling it by this name in gratitude to the spirit of the people of Bhārata. Among the Russians there is no zeal for merely uttering the Divine. But in them there is great morality and honesty. This very morality and honesty has kept shaping their life as a nation. Our character itself is the chief aim of the human race. Without such qualities and right conduct, this can never be humanness at all. Man's worth does not lie in money, gold, goods and vehicles. It lies in man's conduct alone. So we must try to recognise the principle of man's morality.
