Anirban: What does Atharva Veda 4th kand/ 7th anu- bakya/ 4th sukta/ 2nd shloka mean?Does it indicate that we will get females for enjoyment in heaven? Please swamiji answer this question.
Swami Ram Swarup: Atharvaveda mantra kand 4 sukta 4 mantra 2 is –
उदुषा उदु सूर्य उदिदं मामकं वचः। उदेजतु प्रजापतिर्वृषा शुष्मेण वाजिना ॥
(Ushah ut) usha ka uday hua (u suryah ut) aur surya nikla (idam mamkam vachah) yeh mere dwara stuti vachan (ut) ucharit hua (wajinah) shakti denewale (shushmen) shatru ka shoshan karne wale (ud ejatu) unnat ho (prajapatihi) prajayon ka swami bane arthat gunwan santaan prapt kare aur (vrisha) shaktishali bane.
So, the above mantra never indicates about heaven or hell etc., and never indicates that woman is a source of enjoyment.
