	The Vedas and Upanishads
		That is to say, divinities, gods or angels are present in the hearts, in the core of the being of everything, though you may call it animate or inanimate, organic or inorganic, as the case may be.
		The idea behind it is that a transcendent element is present in the outlook that is adumbrated in the Veda Samhitas and it is not to be seen with the physical eye of a written notebook or a printed literature.
		The vision of the Veda Samhitas is to be considered as an outward panegyric or encomium poured on God as manifest in this vision of the cosmos.

		However the Samhitas are supplemented by many commentaries and explanations, forming the 'Shruti' as a whole.
		Each of these four text-books has attached to it a body of prose writings, called Brdhmati, intended to explain the ceremonial application of the texts and the origin and import of the sacrificial rites for which these were supposed to have been composed.
		Two of the Samhitas, tile Saman and the Yajus, owing their existence to purely ritual purposes, and being, besides, the one almost entirely, the other partly, composed of verses taken from the rigveda.

	Shankara - the Genius
		To the sages of the Veda Samhitas, the rise of the sun was a manifestation of God.
		Throughout the Samhitas, if you make a deep study of them, you will see spread out in various places, thoughts and devotional feelings in their various emphases and stresses, all beckoning the aspiration of the human soul to what is implied and what is hidden behind the manifested phenomena.
		While in the original Samhitas, in their primordial condition, they were effects of a diviner experience, now they became a cause rather than an effect of an invocation of these multifarious Gods.

		Collectively, these are referred to as the Samhitas.
		The first three Samhitas were used in the Vedic period by the priestly class as ritual handbooks.

	A Short History of Religious and Philosophic Thought in India by Swami Krishnananda
		From this point of view, it seems quite reasonable to follow the way of ancient tradition that the Samhitas and the Upanishads are not to be divided as inferior and superior, but as pictures of one side and another side of Reality.
		It is an important aspect in the interpretation of the Vedas to regard them as a single body of scriptural lore, of which the Upanishads form the consummation.
		We have, for example, a statement on the nature of the universal Virat in a single verse of the Mundaka Upanishad, which may itself be said to be an inspiration after the Purushasukta of the Samhitas.

		The Samhitas are the most ancient, and of them, the Rig Veda Samhita is the earliest.
		The Samhitas are considered the Vedas proper; the Brahmanas, the Aranyakas and the Upanishads are periodic additions, made by way of growing with the changing times.
		The Samhitas are hymns addressed to gods representing the forces of nature, followed by rites and sacrifices to propitiate those gods.

	The vedas
		While Samhitas are Upasana based and Aranyakas are Karma based, Upanishads are Basic Canons of Jnana.Thus Vedas are truly “Trikandatmakam”-made of three bodies.
		The Brhma sutras say” janma dasya yatah' ie Brhman alone is responsible for the creation, sustainance and final destroying of the universe- that is why he is called god because he has trifold functions- generation, operation and destruction) and their familes and their avatars (incarnations) taking the central stage.
		The Samhitas are totally five since Yajur Veda has two parts - Krshna Yajur samhita and Sukla Yajur samhita.

		Authority of the Veda and the Brahman class
		Vaikhanasa Samhitas (collections of the Vaishnava school of Vaikhanasas, who were originally ascetics) seem to have embodied the original temple manuals for the Bhagavatas (devotees), which by the 11th or 12th century had become supplanted by the Pañcaratra Samhitas (collections of the Vaishnava school of Pañcaratra—“the System of the Five Nights”).
		The philosophy of the latter is largely a matter of cosmogony, greatly inspired by both the Samkhya and yoga philosophies.
