Ved Extracts

The main content of every ved, which is considered shruti, is called Samhita. Samhita should translate as "collection". Each Ved [i.e. Samhita] is organized in terms of "Mandals", which are organized in terms of Sukt, which contains Mantras.
Thus Samhita contains Mandals, which contains Sukts, which contains Mantra. In some cases, Mandals are organized as Anuvakas, which contain Sukts.
To explain the contents of each Ved, Rishis have created Brahmans, Aranyaks and Upanishads. However some Brahmans, Aranyaks and Upanishads are not directly related to a specific ved, for some the linkage is not known as well as many are not available.
