About the Book -: Samhita, however, in contemporary literature typically implies the earliest, archaic part of the Vedas. These contain mantras – sacred sounds with or without literal meaning, as well as panegyrics, prayers, litanies and benedictions petitioning nature or Vedic deities. Vedic Samhita refers to mathematically precise metrical archaic text of each of the Vedas Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda and Atharvaveda.
