was
the maker of all (i. e. an adept machanician, being master
of
physical laws of nature) and the protector of the mankind.
He taught his eldest son, Atharva, knowledge of God, which
is superior to all other kinds of knowledge.

2. The spritual knowledge (Knowledge of God) which
Brahma gave to Atharva, the latter imparted the same to
Angira Rishi who then taught it to Satyavaha, a descendant
of
Bhardwaja, and he (Satyavaha) taught the same to Angirasa
Rishi, which has thus come down in succession.
