Debunking this Thread! You don't even know how to give proper reference. For eg:- you have ment Manadal number in Mahabharat. Rig Ved is having Mandala number not Mahabharat (Its reference should be Parva name, then chapter number and then shloka number). Anyways lets start.
Answer:- Nowhere in the Sholka mentions about Apsara (Check the SS
Mahabharat 13.79.27 i.e Anushasan Parva
Answer:- Again no mention of Apsaras here (Check Gita Press SS)
You mentioned Atharva Ved 4.34.2 mentions Intercourse with Women
Answer:- Check the SS Mentioned in Atharva Ved 4.34.2
Parashar Smriti 3.31 does not mentions any Women neither Apsara.
You mentioned about Mahabharat Shanti Parva (12).98.46-48. Here Apsara is mentioned but it says that Beautiful woman is waiting for his Husband in Swarga lok, And nothing wrong in having intimacy with husband. You translated as per your convenience.
Again you gave reference from Rig Ved 10.103.3
Answer:- No where mentioned about Apsara neither Women.
In Atharva Ved 2.2.5 (You gave this reference)
Check the SS:- Its mentioned Apsaras as Gandharva's wife and Worshiping them.
Rethinking what you have mentioned 😄
Mahabharat does not have mentioned Mandal concept. Its in Rig Ved
Enough of evidence now, If you really want to know more about Apsaras in our scriptures then do your Ghar wapsi.
Apsara is a celestial term in Sanatan and Worship them,you can't compare them to hoors, Are Hoors worshipped in heaven? No right?, Its a completely different concept.
In नाट्यशास्त्र its mentioned that they were Originated for Abhinay. If you find any verse in Scriptures to have pleasure of Apsaras means you need to watching their Natya (Not for Sex). Its up to you with what intensions you are seeing that Natya of that girl.
I have covered almost all the misconceptions related to Sanatan Dharma, Check the whole thread and bookmark it. You can use it for the reference to counter Vidharmis
Many Scholars believe that Atharva Ved was added later on to the other Vedas. But as per written history, it was Krishnadwaipayan Vyas who seperated the four Vedas. Then how can we say that it is an added book.
𝑽𝒆𝒅 𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒔 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒆𝒆 𝒕𝒚𝒑𝒆𝒔:- 1) The mantras where the verses are systematically arranged as per their meaning. 2) Song type Verses are in Saam Ved. 3) Apart from prose and poetry, all other mantras are placed in Yajur Ved.
But Atharva Ved comprises of all the styles of mantras. Here mantras are predicated as per their subject matter and not as per their style.
𝑽𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒐𝒖𝒔 𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑨𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒗𝒂 𝑽𝒆𝒅:-
Why is Atharva Ved known by varied other names unlike the other three Vedas. To pacify our curiosity, let us delve into the subject matter one by one.
1) 𝘼𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙫𝙖 𝙑𝙚𝙙:- As per Sanskrit grammar, "Tharva" means to walk or not getting disturbed. So Atharva means calm, immovable, & steady. So this means that which is not changeable, undestroyed knowledge or Parmatma where there is no violence.
2) 𝘾𝙝𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙑𝙚𝙙 :- Chhand denotes happiness. Therefore reading or reciting such literature which gives us happiness is Chhand Ved.
3) 𝘼𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙫𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙞𝙧𝙖𝙨 𝙑𝙚𝙙:– This word is mentioned in Atharva Ved (10.7.29), Mahabharat (Van Parva 305.2), Manusmriti (11.33), Yagyavalkya smriti (1.312),etc is mentioned in the form of Dwand Samaas or copulative compound. There is a story about it in Gopath Brahman that once Brahma released Water on Sand. Bhrigu was born from that. Bhrigu was eager to meet Brahma ji. That time an Akashwani occurred saying
'अथर्वाऽनमेतास्वेवास्वन्विच्छ' गो० ब्रा० १।४]।. From that time Bhrigu was named as Atharva. Then again in the water found in Sand surrounding "Varun" realized that the water was leaked from different body parts of Brahma. This time Angiras Rishi was born from this water.
4) 𝘽𝙧𝙖𝙝𝙢 𝙑𝙚𝙙 :– Because of the above happening, Atharva Ved is also known as Brahm Ved. There are three motives or denotations -
a) To proclaim Brahmatva in Yagyakarma.
b) Philosophical thinking about Brahm.
c) Mantras received through Brahm Rishi and their compilation.
For any successful completion of Shrout Yagya, it is important for Brahm to preside it. So this name seems apt.
5) 𝙆𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙩𝙧𝙖 𝙑𝙚𝙙:- There are many Sukts or hymns describing the royal duties regarding protecting the nation. Therefore it is also called Kshatra Ved.
𝑺𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑨𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒗𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒅 :-
There are 9 sections of Atharvaved - 1) Paiplad 2) Toud 3) Moud 4) Shaunak 5) Jajal 6) Jalad 7) Brahmvad 8) Devdarsh 9) Charan vaidya
Only complete book of Shaunak is available currently and only half of Piplad Sanhita is available to read.
𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒖𝒏𝒂𝒌 𝑺𝒂𝒎𝒉𝒊𝒕𝒂:–
This book says that there are 20 kand or chapters, 730 Sukt or Hymns, and 5987 Mantras in this book. Every Kand deals with varied subjects.
𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒖𝒃𝒋𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒔 𝒄𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝑨𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒗𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒅:–
Let us try and understand them.
A) Principles regarding Philosophies about Brahm. This Ved gives lot of importance to Brahm. Whatever reference about Brahm is found in Upanishads, it is taken from this book. It delves into What is Brahm, What is his swarup, how can we reach near him or is he one or many and what is his relation to other Devtas.
B) Bheshaj Karma:- In Sanskrit, Bheshaj means medicine. Here many Sukts pertaining to this topic are there where many medicine to different types of diseases are mentioned along with prayers. Then there is a mention of Water therapy, Sun therapy and mental related therapies.
C) Karmas relating to pacify the bad omens to bring peace and getting rid of negativities. As the topic suggests, many karmas are suggested for the above mentioned topic.
D) Politics and duties: – Atharva Ved has many references for carrying on political duties. How should the King behave, his duty towards his subjects, types of administration, selection of a King and his coronation, duties and rights of a King, the composition of council and committees, justice and punishment, army and it's Captain, types of Soldiers and their training, Weapons, Types of War, Winning war, behavior towards enemy, etc are some topics which have been covered.
E) Karma for Harmony:- Atharva Ved gives importance to harmony in Nation, Family, Politics and Religion. It contains many Suktas which suggest mutual harmony in all fields.
F) Prayaschit or Atonement :- The various wrong karmas done knowingly unknowingly and the penance to overcome this guilt, Prayer to Devtas, Havan for Prayaschit or Atonement and many other types of Prayaschit are mentioned here.
So as we can see after the study of these topics of Atharvaved that the four pillars of Dharm Arth, Kaam and Moksha are suitably covered. As per Scriptorial side, all the basics of spirituality are mentioned too. As per the social aspect, topics like Medicines, Politics, Finance and Wisdom to are present here. It also holds literary value as topics like figures of speech too are subtly dealt.

Debunking this crap thread that Vedas are not scientific, well before that atleast you should first know that Rig Ved is the oldest of religious book as per Archeology. I will share those mantras where Vedas already proved it before science.
PUSHPAK VIMAAN IN TRETA-YUG AND CHANDRAYAN IN KALI-YUG
During the divine period of satyug Devtas travelled in Pushpak Viman and other such devices. Our scriptures mention many instances where Devtas and Rishis travelled from one lok to another.
There was an elaborate explanation regarding the construction of these devices. How very advanced was our technology. It took fraction of minutes for them to reach their destination.
Now man has developed a device that will make it possible for Indians to travel and return Back.
This time it took 41 days. Next the travel time may come down to few seconds.
As per Valmiki Ramayan Uttar Kanda Chapter 15-18, Pushpak Vimaan had Golden ornate pillars. The gates of this Vimaan were made from Vaiduryam(Cat's eye gemstone). Inside the Vimaan,
As per Varaha Puran Chapter 24, Nagas were destroying Brahma's creation due to their sinister venomous and cruel behaviour. They were decreasing Human race by finishing them. People went to Brahma who admonished them,
He cursed them that later they too will be destroyed by their mothers (Kadru) curse. But their pleading made Brahma relent and he formulated a set of rules for these reptiles that they would stay down in the deepest layer of soil i.e Pataal lok and come up only before midnight.
They can swallow or bite and turn those people in ashes who deserve this, not any innocent. Also during Vaivasvat Manvantar they will be born to Rishi Kashyap and Kadru. That day was Shravan Krishna Paksh panchmi. So to celebrate this festival of mutual respect and co existence,
One of the well known rulers of Puru vansh before the Pandav rulers was King Dushyant. He was an able and benevolent King. Each and everyone was happy and contented. Once Dushyant travelled towards a dense forest along with his soldiers.
The forest was full of wild animals. Since the King was on a hunting expedition, he was successful in k¡ll¡ng many animals. Travelling deep into the forest with hunger and thirst surrounding him, he found himself alone suddenly.
He started looking around when he saw an Hermitage in front of him. The setting of the Hermitage was very beautiful situated on the banks of Malini river. The Hermitage belonged to Sage Kanv. He enters the Hermitage enjoying and appreciating his surroundings leaving his
