<P> There are four Vedas : the Rigveda , the Yajurveda , the Samaveda and the Atharvaveda . Each Veda has been subclassified into four major text types -- the Samhitas ( mantras and benedictions ) , the Aranyakas ( text on rituals , ceremonies , sacrifices and symbolic - sacrifices ) , the Brahmanas ( commentaries on rituals , ceremonies and sacrifices ) , and the Upanishads ( texts discussing meditation , philosophy and spiritual knowledge ) . Some scholars add a fifth category -- the Upasanas ( worship ) . </P>
