Namaste The Rig Veda has 10,552 mantras grouped into 1028 suktas or hymns each having roughly ten mantras. The suktas are further grouped into 10 mandalas. Rig veda has only Rik mantras which have a metrical structure. Of these 2456 mantras are in the well known Gayatri meter ( The popular Gayatri mantra is also in this meter). As per Shri Aurobindo Ghosh , Rik is the mantra of divine consciousness.Its brings its light of revelation. There are around 400 rishis in the rig veda of whom atleast 25 are women. The Yajur Veda primarily consists of Yajus mantras which are rhythmic phrases not set to any particular meter ( Unlike Rig Veda) The popular Taittiriya Samhita of Krishna Yajur Veda has around 4773 mantras , of which around 2/3 rd are yajus mantras ( rest are Riks) The Yajur Veda deals with Yajna or rituals to appease devatas The Sama Veda consists of Riks with the added dimension of music. The Atharva veda has 5987 mantras grouped into 730 suktas and 20 Kandas ( Chapters) Most of the mantras were revealed to the lineage of Rishis Atharva and Angirasa. It contains knowledge of healing, construction (Vastu) and societal conduct amongst others There are three types of Vedic Mantras Rik - Mantras set to a particular meter like Gayatri Yajus - Mantras in Prose form not in any particular meter Saaman - Mantras used for singing Rig Veda Samhita has only Rik mantras, Yajur Veda Samhita has both Yajus and Rik mantras , Sama Veda Samhita has Saman mantras while Atharva Veda Samhita consists mainly of Riks and some Yajus. Thanks.
so the 10,552 mantras are complete shlok type according to that chandas, so thats many lines of literature what is the total count of mantra in samavedam and if you can inform more about vedam's structure 🙏🏾

Vanakum,I just want to know if this is better than vedam, Vedadhara is the correct Chanting I need to do,😢i am doing vedam, what do I do please 🙏 help me brothers, omsairam,🌹👌
I have a question: In the introduction it is stated that Sama and Yajur Veda were composed c1200-1000BCE. How is this possible? The three Veda were fully extant during the reign of Lord Shree Rama and are referred to multiple times in Ramayana. But since Rama lived at the end of Treta Yuga, the Veda must be at least 800000 years old. The Veda are also referred to as the basis of life in the Mahabharata the events of which took place at least 5000 years ago. Even Western historians in their lack of understanding acknowledge this. So how can it be said that their composition is posterior to their use in everyday life?
please dont be confuse and dont belive in (( mechaley education system )) ravana elder than sri rama a brahman he also practiced vedas upanishads. so all these r more than 1000000 years old
Kakabhusandi has your answer Vedas are eternal Don't believe everything said by westerners and current left leaning so called educated people who's sole aim was and is to some how distort culture and let people feel ashamed of Sanatan
It is chanting of slokas ( verses) in Sanskrit language from Vedas. There are four Vedas ( Sama Veda, Yajur Veda, Adharvana Veda, Rug Veda ) It needs expertise, total devotion to learn from childhood and practise regularly for many years under guidance of an experienced Guru ( A dedicated teacher )
