Dear Ravi, I believe, there are four divisions to Vedas, not three! Samhita (mantra), brahmaNa, Aranyakas AND Upanishads. > You can not get a very solid proof on many of these matters.

The onus is on you not me. > It is not adequate to show trividya is commented as three veda-s.* > Yes I think you are right, the onus is on me to prove :-). Let me search again, I know for sure somewhere there is an authentic reference where Vyasa clasiffied the veda in to three! Thank you.
