Atharva Veda Pratishakhya

Atharva Veda Pratishakhya is one of the structuring dynamics of Rk Veda. It highlights the UNFOLDING quality involved in structuring Rk Veda. With reference to consciousness, Atharva Veda Pratishakhya comprises the specific sets of laws of Nature that are engaged in promoting the quality of Chhandas — the object of observation, which hides the dynamism of Devata in the witnessing quality of Rishi — within the Samhita level of consciousness, providing a structure to the eternally silent, self-referral, self-sufficient, fully awake state of consciousness, which is intimately personal to everyone. (complete table of qualities)

Atharva Veda represents wholeness with reference to Chhandas value. It corresponds in the physiology to the motor systems. The highest order planning and initiation of motor activity reside in the cerebral cortex.

Layer V of the cerebral cortex contains the neuronal cells called pyramidal cells which send their axons outside the cortex and brain to unfold motor activity. Layer V corresponds to Atharva Veda Pratishakhya.
