The igveda contains hymns (mantras) addressed to the gods
that contain much of the mythology and ancient-most Vedic ritual
practice;

The Smaveda consists almost exclusively of mantras from
the Rigveda arranged in an order that was used for singing at the
Soma sacrifice;

The Yajurveda contains prose mantras and verses extracted
from the Rigveda used in ritual, in addition to detailed prose
'commentaries' (brhmaa sections) on the sacrifices; and
4.
The Atharvaveda comprises incantations against enemies,
sorcerers, diseases and for atonement of mistakes made during the
sacrificial ritual, as well as hymns dealing with household and royal
rites, and in the speculative books (8-12) some spiritual content.
