Abstract
During Vedic period, Vedic society followed a specimen folk-environment; where physical to sociocultural environment have been dealt very promptly. Each of the four Vedas consists of the metrical mantra or Samhita and the prose Brahmana gives direction of the ceremonies at which the Mantras were to be used and explanations of the legends connected with the Mantras and rituals. Both these portions are termed Shruti (which was passed on to consecutive generations orally instead of any hand written documentation). Each of the four Vedas seems to have passed to numerous Shakhas or schools, giving rise to various recessions of the text. Within the all mantras of Vedic literature, multi-dimensional socio-economic-cultural and also physical outlook have been reflected and through the proper analysis of different mantra (hymns or chants) we can find out a folk-environment of Vedic-time.
