Detailed explanation-1: -The Vedas suggest three goals of man: kama, artha and dharma. To these, the Upanishadic era added moksha. The acceptance of the concept of moksha in some schools of Hindu philosophy was slow. These refused to recognize moksha for centuries, considering it irrelevant.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Atharvaveda is a collection of 20 books, with a total of 730 hymns of about 6, 000 stanzas. The text is, state Patrick Olivelle and other scholars, a historical collection of beliefs and rituals addressing practical issues of daily life of the Vedic society, and it is not a liturgical Yajurveda-style collection.
Detailed explanation-3: -The hymns in the “Atharva Veda” are dedicated to prolonging life and healing illnesses, seeking cures from herbs, gaining a lover or partner, or world peace and the nature of good and evil. Originally, only the first three Vedas were recognized and accepted, with the “Atharva Veda” eventually being accepted later on.
