Samhitapatha
संहितापाठ
sāṃhitāpāṭha
Veda is transferred from generation to generation by aural tradition. The Rishis were very particular about protecting the Samhita, the collection of revealed mantras. The Rishis have devised various method of chanting mantras; Samhitapatha is one among them
Samhita patha is the normal chanting of the Vedamantra. In yaga the samhithapatha method is followed.
Samhitapatha and Padapatha are together called Prakrtipatha, the natural way of chanting since the words are recited only once and in their natural order.
