The Rigveda, being the "Veda of knowledge," is considered the Veda of the mind. The Yajurveda, being the "Veda of action," is called the Veda of the hands. The Samaveda, in the form of the "Veda of worship," is associated with the heart, and the Atharvaveda should be related to the lower part, the abdomen.

In fact, it is from disorders of the abdomen that all diseases and wars arise, and in the Atharva we see in detail both Ayurveda (the science of medicine) and the science of war.

By elevating us above these disorders, this Veda makes us worthy of attaining Brahman; therefore, it is called the "Brahmaveda."
