The ''Samhita'' (Sanskrit: "joined" or "collected") is the basic text of each of the ''Vedas'', comprising collections of hymns and ritual texts. This term was originally used in reference to the style of recitation used during hymns and chants. In the Vedas the Samhitas are supplemented by later explanatory commentaries, notably the Brahmanas and Upanishads. The term is also sometimes spelled 'Sanhita'.
