Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Samhita" in English language version.
The Vedas are divided in two parts: The first is the karma-khanda, the ceremonial part (also [called] purva-khanda) and treats on ceremonies; the second part is the jnana khanda, the part which contains knowledge (also named uttara-khanda, or 'posterior part') and unfolds the knowledge of Brahma or the universal soul.
