Solution

It seems like you're describing the four types of Hindu scriptures known as the Vedas.

  1. The Rigveda, or "Sacred Lore," is the oldest of the four and contains hymns dedicated to the Aryan gods. It is primarily a collection of prayers and hymns intended for recitation during rituals.

  2. The Yajurveda, or "Knowledge of rites," is a collection of prose mantras and verses that are recited during sacrifices to the gods. It provides the liturgy that the priests use during the rituals.

  3. The Samaveda, or "Knowledge of hymns," is a collection of hymns and songs, many of which are derived from the Rigveda. These are chanted by the priests during the rituals.

  4. The Atharvaveda, or "Materials collected by a sage," is a collection of spells, charms, and hymns. It provides guidance for rituals that are intended for home use, such as those for health, marriage, and childbirth.

Each of these texts plays a crucial role in Hindu rituals and philosophy.
