Atharvaveda
Samhita is a collection of mantras, which is as sacred as the three other
Samhitas, rik, yajus and sama. It is divided into 20 books or kandas,
having a total of 730 hymns or suktas or a total of 5,987 verses or mantras.
Most of the mantras are metrical; About 80 hymns are in prose. |

About
a hundred suktas have only one or two verses. They are all revealed to
the descendants or disciples of the lineage of the seers, Atharvan and
Angiras. There is about twenty percent overlap between Rigveda Samhita
and Atharvaveda Samhita. [About 1,200 mantras]. |
