Veda
Samhita Brahman Aranyaka Upanishad
कर्मकाण्ड ज्ञानकाण्ड
Samhitās
• Saṃhitā means ‘Compilation of Knowledge’
• Saṃhitās are also spelled as “Sanhitās” or “Samhitas”. The Samhitas are the
collections of the Mantras or Hymns sung or recited to the devatās without
much ritual.
• Most often, traditionally, the Samhita portion alone is referred to as the Veda.
For example, the word ‘Rigved’ would typically mean the Rigved Samhita.
• Samhitas were taught the very first in the life of a person, right from the
childhood (galthuthi), also called “Brahmcharyāshram” or the learning age in
the Vedic society.
Brahmana
• The Brahmanas lay out the precepts, rituals and religious duties. It seems that
the Brahmanas are prescribed for mainly the adult life called “Grahasthāshram.”
• The Brahmanas contain formulas for rituals, rules and regulations for rites and
sacrifices and also outline other religious duties.
• The formulas and rules for conducting extremely complex rituals are explained
to the minutest detail.
Aranyaka
• Aranyakas were prescribed for the later period of life of semi-retirement, called
“Vānprasthāshram,” meaning, the age group “towards retirement to the forest” when the
people who had fulfilled their duties of raising and supporting their families and children, and
were on the way to the retirement, usually, to the forests and spend the remaining active life in
meditation and contemplation of God.
• The Aranyakas provide the link between the ritualistic Brahmanas and the philosophical
Upanishads.
• The symbolic and spiritual aspects of the sacrificial religion are meditated upon in the
Aranyakas while philosophical issues are discussed in the Upanishads.
Upanishads
• The Upanishads consists of philosophical discussions that examine and propound the wisdom in
the earlier part of the Vedas. Since they appear at the end of the Vedas they are also called
“Vedānta,” meaning, the end (anta) part of the Vedas.
• वेदानार् ् अन्तः इतत वेदान्त
• अन्तः means end, similarly it also means परर्, चरर्, crown, pinnacle
• Not only chronologically comes at the end but also, they are र्ूर्मन्य, शिर्मस्थ, crown
• The Upanishads were prescribed for that period of life known
as retirement, called “Sanyāsāshram,” meaning “renunciation” or
“full retirement.”

Vedang
There are six tools/disciplines which help in understand, recite, study, and apply knowledge of
Veda
1. Shiksha (शिक्षा): Recitation
2. Vyaakaran (व्याकरण): Grammar
3. Nirukt (तनरुक्त): Meaning
4. Chhand (छन्द): Pattern (tone, tune and pronunciation method for chanting)
5. Kalp (कल्प): How to perform any Anushthan (action/duty/task)
6. Jyotish (ज्योततर्): Astrology, time measurement, relative positions of astral bodies, Astral
events
Vedangs
• ‘Vedangas’ literally means limbs of the Vedas and they are so known because without them the
knowledge of the Vedas would be lost forever as their study would have become impossible in
view of the conditions that arose.
• Paniniya Shiksha illustrates the importance of ’Vedangas’ by comparing them to the limbs of the
human body.
•छन्दः पादौ तु वेदस्य हस्तौ कल्पोऽथ पठ्यते
ज्योततषामयनं चक्षु: तनिरुक्तं श्रोत्रमुच्यते।
शिक्षा घ्राणं तु वेदस्य मुखं व्याकरणं स्मृतम्
तस्मात्साङ्कमधीत्यैव ब्रह्मलोक
े महीयते।।
• All come in the form of Sutra
Vedang
• Shiksha (śikṣā):
• Phonetics: how human produce and perceive sound
• Phonology: is a branch of linguistics that studies how languages or dialects systematically
organize their sounds
• Pronunciation
• This auxiliary discipline has focused on the letters of the Sanskrit alphabet, accent,
quantity, stress, melody and rules of euphonic combination of words during a Vedic
recitation.
• The early evidence (first) of phonology study is appeared in 4th century BCE
‘Ashtadhyayi’ by Panini
Shiksha Text
Pratisakhyas are the oldest Shiksha textbooks of each branch of the Vedas.
◦ Later it was prefixed with the author’s name as Naradiya-Shiksha, Yagnavalkya-Shiksha,
Vyasa-Shiksha, Pari-Shiksha and Sarvasammata-Shiksha.
Vyakarana (व्याकरण)
• To know the Sanskrit language in a pure form, the study of grammar is done
• The roots of grammar go back to Vedic age India . The practice of grammar is very rich, which
includes Panini's famous book called Ashtadhyayi . 'Grammar' does not mean 'Grammar' only,
but it is closer to Linguistics .
• Panini composed " Ashtadhyayi " for both Vedic Sanskrit and Cosmic Sanskrit . In his about four
thousand sutras, he defined the Sanskrit language forever. Their pratyahara , annexation etc. are
as subtle and scientific as the laws of mathematics.
• There is also a scientific and philosophical side to it as well.
Nirukta (तनरुक्त)
• Nirukta is a discussion of the etymology (िब्द व्युत्पत्ती) of Vedic literature. It deals with root of
the words.
• The purpose of Nirukta is to clarify the intractable meaning of Vedic words.
• Yask is considered as father of Nirukta. He is also known as ‘Nirukatkara’ or ‘Nirukrit’
• Yask in his work mentioned his predecessors औपर्न्यव,औटुम्बरायन, वाश्रयार्णण, गाग्यम,
आग्रायण, िाकपूणण, औणमनाभ, तेटटकी, गालव, स्थौलाष्ष्टवव, कौष्टुकी, and कात्थक्य. The texts
of above authrs are not available.
• There is a difference between तनरुक्त and व्याकरण. Nirukt deals with root of the words while
Vyaakaran deals with semantic, structure of sentence etc.
chhanda (छन्द)
• In Sanskrit literature, the word chhand has been used to describe the rhythm
• rules relating to specific meanings or the number and location of characters in a song
are called chhands, which bring rhythm and pigmentation to poetry.
• 'Chhandhashastra' composed by Acharya Pingal is the oldest available text which is also called
'Pingal Shastra'. If the criterion of prose is ' grammar' , then the criterion of poetry is 'chhand'.
Kalpa (कल्प)
• This field of study is focused on the procedures and ceremonies associated with
Vedic ritual practice.
• There are Stura Grantha on topics like Mathematics also (Salabha Sutra)
• The major texts of Kalpa Vedanga are called Kalpa Sutras in Hinduism. (In Jainism also there is a
text called Kalpa Sutra, on Tirthankar Jivana Charitra).
Jyotisha (ज्योततर्)
• In ancient times, the study of planets , constellations and other celestial bodies was called
astrology. Regarding its mathematics part, it can be said very clearly that clear calculations have
been given about it in the Vedas.
• Arundhati-Vashishtha: The pair is considered to symbolize marriage. Vashistha and Arundhati
were a married couple. Arundhati and Vasistha were considered an ideal couple, symbolic of
marital fulfillment and loyalty. (Twin Star System, rotate in synchrony)

  • 15. Vedangs • ‘Vedangas’ literally means limbs of the Vedas and they are so known because without them the knowledge of the Vedas would be lost forever as their study would have become impossible in view of the conditions that arose. • Paniniya Shiksha illustrates the importance of ’Vedangas’ by comparing them to the limbs of the human body. •छन्दः पादौ तु वेदस्य हस्तौ कल्पोऽथ पठ्यते ज्योततषामयनं चक्षु: तनिरुक्तं श्रोत्रमुच्यते। शिक्षा घ्राणं तु वेदस्य मुखं व्याकरणं स्मृतम् तस्मात्साङ्कमधीत्यैव ब्रह्मलोक े महीयते।। • All come in the form of Sutra

  • 18. Vyakarana (व्याकरण) • To know the Sanskrit language in a pure form, the study of grammar is done • The roots of grammar go back to Vedic age India . The practice of grammar is very rich, which includes Panini's famous book called Ashtadhyayi . 'Grammar' does not mean 'Grammar' only, but it is closer to Linguistics . • Panini composed " Ashtadhyayi " for both Vedic Sanskrit and Cosmic Sanskrit . In his about four thousand sutras, he defined the Sanskrit language forever. Their pratyahara , annexation etc. are as subtle and scientific as the laws of mathematics. • There is also a scientific and philosophical side to it as well.
  • 19. Nirukta (तनरुक्त) • Nirukta is a discussion of the etymology (िब्द व्युत्पत्ती) of Vedic literature. It deals with root of the words. • The purpose of Nirukta is to clarify the intractable meaning of Vedic words. • Yask is considered as father of Nirukta. He is also known as ‘Nirukatkara’ or ‘Nirukrit’ • Yask in his work mentioned his predecessors औपर्न्यव,औटुम्बरायन, वाश्रयार्णण, गाग्यम, आग्रायण, िाकपूणण, औणमनाभ, तेटटकी, गालव, स्थौलाष्ष्टवव, कौष्टुकी, and कात्थक्य.
