Aranyaka
layer of texts within the Vedas dealing with detailed instructions for rituals
The Aranyakas (/ɑːˈrʌnjəkə/; Sanskrit: āraṇyaka आरण्यक) is the philosophy behind sacrifice of the ancient Hindu sacred texts, the Vedas.[1] They are usually part of the later parts of Vedas, and are one of many layers of the Vedic text.[2] The other parts of Vedas are the Samhitas (benedictions, hymns), Brahmanas (commentary), and the Upanishads (spirituality and abstract philosophy).[3][4]
