छन्दांसि नाम क्षत्रिय तान्यथर्वा जगौ पुरस्तादृषिसर्ग एषः । छन्दोविदस्ते य उ तानधीत्य न वेद्यवेदस्य विदुर्न वेद्यम्॥५-४३-३०॥
The Vedic metres (chandas), O Kṣatriya—Atharvan proclaimed them of old; they are a creation of the seers. Yet those who are merely knowers of metres, even after studying them, do not thereby know the truly knowable, nor do they grasp the real purport of what is to be known through the Veda.
