Arlo Griffiths The Atharvaveda and its Paippalādaśākhā
Aachen 2007 p.145 states against my adverse remarks on the commentary and of M.
Asher (JAOS 104 [1984], 599f.,) on the ‘entire text’ as mentioned by Griffiths (loc
cit), that his sources confirm that ‘at least a text of this name has been
in circulation’

As a student, I had the opportunity to write a book about Indian bronzes. So I tried not to rely only on secondary sources and get deeper in primary sources, but it was a bit frustrating, the contents were kind of unexpected, not exactly what I would have hope to find. On the contrary, the Vastusutra Upanishad suited so well to my European mind that I doubted about its authenticity. I was a beginner and still feel like that after 30 years of research, but now I’ve heard and read that some people actually think that it might be not authentic. Does anybody knows about articles or serious research about it?
Sincerely yours,
