Correct Answer: Atharvaveda


Solution : The correct answer is Atharvaveda.

The Atharvaveda is one of the four Vedas, alongside the Samaveda, Rigveda, and Yajurveda, but is not a part of Vedatrayi. It's the newest, dating between 1000 and 600 BCE, comprising 20 books, 6,000 mantras, and 730 hymns. Two versions, Paippalada and Saunakiya, have survived. Unlike the others, it focuses on magic spells and charms, not hymns from the Rigveda.
