take a look at the so-called "Four" Vedas/Veda parts and realize a three to One ratio can be seen:
| THE "FOUR" (3 to 1) VEDAS | |
|---|---|
| I. R.g Veda (One of 3) | the oldest Veda, from c.1500 BC; from r.c, "sacred hymn or verse"; liturgial manual of the hotr., chief sacrificial priest. |
| II. Sâma Veda (two of 3) | from sâman, "song, chant"; hymnal of singing udgâtr. priest, assistant of the hotr.. |
| III. Yajur Veda (three of 3) | from yajus, "sacrifical formula"; liturgical manual of adhvaryu priest, assistant of hotr. charged with ritual preparations, "practical work." |
| IV. Atharva Veda (One of 1) | the youngest Veda, c. 800 BC; from atharvan, the "fire priest," not originally associated with Vedic sacrifice, later added as brâhman.a, the fourth sacrificial priest. |
Each Veda consists of "four" (3 to 1) parts.
| THE "FOUR" (three to one) PARtS OF THE VEDAS | ||
|---|---|---|
|
I. Samhitâs (or Mantras)
Hymns |
R.g Veda Samhitâs: 10522 verses | the samhitâs and brâhman.as are the karmakân.d.a, "action part," of the Vedas, studied by the pûrva mîmâmsâ, "prior interpretation," or Mîmâmsâ school. |
| Sâma Veda Samhitâs: 1984 verses | ||
| Yajur Veda Samhitâs: 1875 verses | ||
| Atharva Veda Samhitâs: 5977 verses | ||
|
II. Brâhman.as
Ritual texts |
the brâhman.as, using much mythic material, are commentaries on and explanations of the hymns and ritual practices. | |
|
III. Âran.yakas
Forest treatises |
the âran.yakas verge into philosophical writing but often are indistinguishable from the brâhman.as; they may be regarded as philosophical texts written by or for forest dwelling hermits or as brâhman.a ritual texts written for forest dwellers who cannot practice the ordinary household rituals described in the brâhman.as proper. | the âran.yakas and upanis.ads are the jñanakân.d.a, "knowledge part," of the Vedas, studied by the uttara mîmâmsâ, "posterior interpretation," or Vedânta, "End of the Vedas," school. |
|
IV. Upanis.ads
Philosophical texts |

3 to 1 ratio of OM (AUM):
Om was originally pronounced aum; and this is remembered here, where Om is analyzed into three parts, with an intangible fourth part.
One of three --- Vaishvânara (the worldly) is the waking state, the letter a, the first element, either from "âpti" (obtaining) or from "âdimattva" (being first). Verily, he obtains (âpnoti) all desires and becomes first (âdi) -- he who knows this.
two of three --- taijasa (the brilliant) is the dreaming state, the letter u, the second element, either from "utkars.a" (exaltation) or from "ubhayatva" (intermediateness). Verily, he exalts the stream of knowledge and becomes equal-minded; no one ignorant of Brahman is born in the family of him who knows this.
three of three --- Prâjña (the cognitional) is the sleeping state, the letter m, the third element, either from "miti" (erecting) or from "apîti" (merging). Verily, he erects (minoti) this all and he becomes its merging -- he who knows this.
"Miti" can also be translated "measuring" -- the translation preferred by those who see "îshvara" as a creative God to be identified with the fourth state. A third state which "erects" the world does not require that kind of function in the fourth. However, the theistic interpretations of the text are up against another problem. the theistic Dvaita Vedânta view is that the third state is a state of unconsciousness and ignorance; but this is contradicted by the very name of the third state, "Prâjña," which means "intelligent, wise, clever" (from jña, "know"). this is not ignorance. But what "erects" the world doesn't have to be God even in the third state. It can be karma.
One of One --- the fourth is what is without an element, what cannot be dealt with or spoken of, the cessation of the phenomenal world, auspicious, nondual. thus Om is the very Self. He enters the Self with the Self -- he who knows this.
