Each Veda is broadly divided into a few parts.

  • Samhita: liturgy and ritual
  • Brahmanas: Instruction and context on ritual
  • Aranyakas: Philosophical commentary on ritual
  • Upanishads: Philosophy and spirituality

These are loose definitions and don't apply neatly, but broadly speaking, rig veda samhita is the liturgical part of the broader rig veda.
