Rigveda, Atharvaveda, Vedic Hermeneutics, Harmony & CohesionAbstract
The Vedic literature forms the bedrock of ancient Indian philosophy, ethics, and socio-cultural frameworks. Among its vast corpus, the Samjñāna Sūkta (Rigveda 10.191) and the Sāmmanasya Sūkta (Atharvaveda 3.30) stand out as foundational texts advocating communal harmony, mutual respect, and social cohesion. While both hymns share the primary objective of fostering unity and collective understanding, they originate from different Samhitās with distinct ritualistic, philosophical, and functional contexts
