HARTFORD, Conn. lP).-For IS
years Professor Leroy Carr Barret of
Trinity college has devoted all the
time at his, disposal to preparing one
of the ancient sacred writings of the
Hindus for translation.
After quarter of a century only
about half the. manuscript-th Ka-
shimirian Atharva -Veda - has been
made ready. But when the long task
is completed the world will learn the
ethics and attitudes of the common
people. of ancient India in their daily
life, for the Atharva-Ve more than
any other version, scholars say, is
filled with the folklore of old India.
The manuscript itself is 400 years
old, but the lore it holds is much
older, passed on for centuries from
generation to generationN and copied
and recopied by each. Much Of the
writings consists of magic charms and
spells in metrical form, for gaining
success in love, battle and business or
for use against disease, demons and
human enemies Other portions are
philosophic and theosophic hymns.
striking feature of the manu-
script, Professor Barret saws is that
more than half of it's curative charms
are directed against poison, chiefly
that of snakes. which abound in
India
One of the shorter hymns" a
gambling charm, would hardly pass
muster under AnglozSaxon sporting
standards It goes:
when the great men play for
wealth, meeting in mighty contest,
may I smash the luck of the winner
among them.
profitable be my dice, and may
Indra help me; like a wolf that has
ravaged the sheep may I return home
victorious"
This and another portion were
translated by Barret to indicate the
general nature of the manuscript, but
he expects to continue for years the
task of preparing the manuscript be-
fore it is ready for complete trans
lation. He is working on Photographic
copies of the original changing the
text to Roman characters and cor
recting errors in spelling and grammar
