# Atharva-Veda Samhita/Book IX

Book IX.
⌊This ninth book is the second of the second grand division of the Atharvan collection. For a general statement as to the make-up of the books of this division, see page 471. The Old Anukramaṇī describes the length of hymns 1, 3, and 5 by stating in each case the excess over 20 verses—perhaps assuming 20 as the normal length. The whole book has been translated by Victor Henry, Les livres VIII et IX de l'Atharva-véda traduits et commentés, Paris, 1894. The bhāṣya is lacking for this book.⌋
⌊Paryāya-hymns: for details respecting them, see pages 471-2. The paryāya-hymns of this book are hymn 6 (with 6 paryāyas) and hymn 7 (with 1 paryāya).⌋
⌊The anuvāka-division of the book (as is explained on page 472 also) is into five anuvākas of two hymns each. The "decad"-division likewise is as described on page 472. A tabular conspectus for book ix. follows:
| Anuvākas | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 5 |
| | $\scriptstyle {\overbrace {\quad \quad \quad \quad \quad } }$ | $\scriptstyle {\overbrace {\quad \quad \quad \quad \quad } }$ | $\scriptstyle {\overbrace {\quad \quad \quad \quad \quad } }$ | $\scriptstyle {\overbrace {\quad \quad \quad \quad \quad } }$ | $\scriptstyle {\overbrace {\quad \quad \quad \quad \quad } }$ | $\scriptstyle {\overbrace {\quad \quad \quad \quad \quad } }$ | $\scriptstyle {\overbrace {\quad \quad \quad \quad \quad } }$ | $\scriptstyle {\overbrace {\quad \quad \quad \quad \quad } }$ | $\scriptstyle {\overbrace {\quad \quad \quad \quad \quad } }$ | $\scriptstyle {\overbrace {\quad \quad \quad \quad \quad } }$ |

Here ¶ means "paragraph of a paryāya" (such as is numbered as a "verse" in the Berlin edition) and P means "paryāya." The last line shows the "decad"-division. These divisions are shown also in both editions. Of these "decads," anuvākas 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 contain respectively 5, 5, 4, 2, and 5 (in all, 21 "decads"); while anuvākas 3 and 4 have respectively 6 paryāyas and 1. The sum is 21 "decad"-sūktas and 7 paryāya-sūktas or 28 sūktas.⌋

# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Shannon, Wilson

Edition of 1900.
​SHANNON, Wilson, governor of Ohio and of Kansas, b. in Belmont county, Ohio, 24 Feb., 1802; d. in Lawrence, Kan., 31 Aug., 1877. He was graduated at Athens college, Ohio, and at Transylvania university, Ky., and became a lawyer. He began practicing at St. Clairsville, Ohio, and in 1835 was prosecuting attorney for the state. He was governor of Ohio in 1838-'40 and again in 1842-'4, and in 1844 he went as U.S. minister to Mexico. He was a representative in congress in 1853-'5, and territorial governor of Kansas in 1855-'6. During Gov. Shannon's administration in Kansas the troubles between the free-state and pro-slavery parties began to assume a threatening aspect. The governor favored the latter, though he tried to be cautious. He succeeded in peacefully terminating the “Wakarusha war” in 1855, but hostilities were resumed in the following year, ending in the burning of the town of Lawrence by a band of “border ruffians” that had been gathered as a U.S. Marshal's posse. Shannon was finally removed, and succeeded by John W. Geary. He subsequently practised law in Lawrence.

# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Seidl, Anton

Edition of 1900.
SEIDL, Anton, musician, b. at Pesth, Hungary, 6 May, 1850; d. in New York city, 28 March, 1898. He began the study of music at a very early age, and when only seven years old could pick out at the piano melodies which he had heard at the theatre. At fifteen he became a student of harmony in counterpoint under Nicolitsch at the Hungarian national musical academy, of which Liszt was director. He attended the normal school at Pesth for three years, the gymnasium eight years, and afterward entered the university, where he remained for two years, during which time he sang and played in several public concerts. At sixteen years of age he evinced a decided penchant for the priesthood, but his love for music prevailed, and in 1870 he entered the conservatory at Leipsic, and in 1872, despite the opposition in Germany to the revolutionary character of Wagner's music, he went to Richter, who soon perceived his strong bent for conducting. From 1872 to 1878 Seidl resided in Bayreuth with Wagner, who treated him as one of the chosen few and sent him to Vienna for the express purpose of placing “Siegfried” and “Goetterdämmerung” on the stage. In 1879 the young musician became conductor of the Leipsic opera-house, and in May, 1881, he introduced for the first time at the Victoria theatre, Berlin, the complete “Nibelungen Trilogy.” Upon the death of Dr. Leopold Damrosch, in 1885, Seidl was summoned to take charge of the Metropolitan opera-house in New York, whither his wife, Fräulein Krauss, the “young dramatic soprano,” had preceded him. Here he became the idol of the Wagnerites, and was selected as the director of the permanent orchestra of New York city, for the maintenance of which $100,000 was raised by subscription.

# Atharva-Veda Samhita/Book XIX/Hymn 25

25. To a horse.
[Gopatha.—ekarcam. vājidevatyam. ānuṣṭubham.]
The verse is not found in Pāipp. The comm. finds it quoted in Nakṣ. K. 17-18, in a mahāçānti ceremony called gāndharvī, on occasion of the loss (kṣaya) of a horse.
Translated: Griffith, ii. 282.
1. I harness (yuj) thee with the mind of one that is unwearied and that is first; be thou an up-carrier uphill; having carried up, then run thou back.
The real sense of the hymn is very obscure; neither the viniyoga nor the comm. casts any light upon it. ⌊SPP. regards the comm. as taking utkūlamudvaho as one word;⌋ the comm. reads bhavas for bhava: and he explains the phrase simply by atidṛpto bhava. Instead of uduhya, the comm. has duhīya (= çatrujayalakṣaṇāni phalāni labheya). SPP. accents útkūlam, with all the mss.; our alteration to utkū́lam is not sufficiently motived; the minor Pet. Lex. has utkūlám, which is more in accordance with general analogies. Fully half the mss. accent úduhya. In our text, bháva (in c) is a misprint for bhava (an accent-mark fallen out).
# Atharva-Veda Samhita/Book XIX/Hymn 19

19. For protection by various gods.
[Atharvan.—ekādaçakam. cāndramasam uta mantroktadtvatyam. pān̄ktam: 1, 3, 9. bhurig bṛhatī; 10. svarāj; 2, 4-8, 11. anuṣṭubgarbhā.]
⌊Prose.⌋ ⌊Not found in Pāipp.⌋ The comm. says that, besides the uses stated in connection with preceding hymns, the purohita is to accompany with this the entrance of the king in the night into his sleeping-house; and that it also appears in the ceremony of a king's entrance into his city.
Translated: Griffith, ii. 278.
1. Mitra ascended with the earth: to that stronghold I lead you forward; that enter ye into; that enter ye; let that yield (yam) you both refuge and defense.
The comm. declares that Mitra here means Agni.
2. Vāyu ascended with the atmosphere: to that stronghold etc. etc.
3. The sun ascended with the sky: to that stronghold etc. etc.
4. The moon ascended with the asterisms: to that stronghold etc. etc.

6. The sacrifice ascended with the sacrificial gifts: to that stronghold etc. etc.
7. The ocean ascended with the streams: to that stronghold etc. etc.
8. The bráhman ascended with the Vedic students: to that stronghold etc. etc.
The comm. says that bráhman here means the Veda with the an̄gas.
9. Indra ascended with heroism: to that stronghold etc. etc.
10. The gods ascended with the immortal (amṛ́ta): to that stronghold etc. etc.
11. Prajāpati ascended with progeny: to that stronghold etc. etc.
The comm. explains ud akrāmat by yām puraṁ rakṣitum utkrāntavān, as antecedent of tām puram etc. The metrical definitions of the Anukr. are not worth comparing in detail.

# Australian Legendary Tales/Bahloo the Moon, and the Daens

Bahloo the Moon, and the Daens
Bahloo the moon looked down at the earth one night, when his light was shining quite brightly, to see if any one was moving. When the earth people were all asleep was the time he chose for playing with his three dogs. He called them dogs, but the earth people called them snakes, the death adder, the black snake, and the tiger snake. As he looked down on to the earth, with his three dogs beside him, Bahloo saw about a dozen daens, or black fellows, crossing a creek. He called to them saying, "Stop, I want you to carry my dogs across that creek." But the black fellows, though they liked Bahloo well, did not like his dogs, for sometimes when he had brought these dogs to play on the earth, they had bitten not only the earth dogs but their masters; and the poison left by the bites had killed those bitten. So the black fellows said, "No, Bahloo, we are too frightened; your dogs might bite us. They are not like our dogs, whose bite would not kill us."
Bahloo said, "If you do what I ask you, when you die you shall come to life again, not die and stay always where you are put when you are dead. See this piece of bark. ​I throw it into the water." And he threw a piece of bark into the creek. "See it comes to the top again and floats. That is what would happen to you if you would do what I ask you: first under when you die, then up again at once. If you will not take my dogs over, you foolish daens, you will die like this," and he threw a stone into the creek, which sank to the bottom. "You will be like that stone, never rise again, Wombah daens!"
But the black fellows said, "We cannot do it, Bahloo. We are too frightened of your dogs."
"I will come down and carry them over myself to show you that they are quite safe and harmless." And down he came, the black snake coiled round one arm, the tiger snake round the other, and the death adder on his shoulder, coiled towards his neck. He carried them over. When he had crossed the creek he picked up a big stone, and he threw it into the water, saying, "Now, you cowardly daens, you would not do what I, Bahloo, asked you to do, and so forever you have lost the chance of rising again after you die. You will just stay where you are put, like that stone does under the water, and grow, as it does, to be part of the earth. If you had done what I asked you, you could have died as often as I die, and have come to life as often as I come to life. But now you will only be black fellows while you live, and bones when you are dead."
Bahloo looked so cross, and the three snakes hissed so fiercely, that the black fellows were very glad to see them disappear from their sight behind the trees. The black fellows had always been frightened of Bahloo's dogs, and now they hated them, and they said, "If we could get ​them away from Bahloo we would kill them." And thenceforth, whenever they saw a snake alone they killed it. But Bahloo only sent more, for he said, "As long as there are black fellows there shall be snakes to remind them that they would not do what I asked them."

# Australian Legendary Tales/Bunnyyarl the Flies and Wurrunnunnah the Bees

Bunnyyarl the Flies and Wurrunnunnah the Bees
The Bunnyyarl and Wurrunnunnah were relations, and lived in one camp. The Wurrunnunnah were very hard-working, always trying to gather food in a time of plenty, to lay in a store for a time of famine. The Bunnyyarl used to give no heed to the future, but used to waste their time playing round any rubbish, and never thinking even of laying up any provisions. One day the Wurrunnunnah said, "Come out with us and gather honey from flowers. Soon will the winter winds blow the flowers away, and there will be no more honey to gather."
"No," said the Bunnyyarl, "we have something to look to here." And off they went, turning over some rubbish and wasting their time, knowing whatever the Wurrunnunnah brought they would share with them. The Wurrunnunnah went alone and left the Bunnyyarl to their rubbish. The Wurrunnunnah gathered the flowers and stored the honey, and never more went back to live ​with the Bunnyyarls, for they were tired of doing all the work.
As time went on the Wurrunnunnah were changed into little wild bees, and the lazy Bunnyyarls were changed into flies.
