Samhita (IAST: Saṃhitā) literally means "put together, joined, union",[1] a "collection",[2] and "a methodically, rule-based combination of text or verses".[1]Saṃhitā also refers to the most ancient layer of text in the Vedas, consisting of mantras, hymns, prayers, litanies and benedictions.[3]
Parts of Vedic Samhitas constitute the oldest living part of Hindu tradition.[3]
