Upavedas
उपवेद — Four Applied Sciences
The Upavedas are four subsidiary sciences appended to the Vedas — applied knowledge systems covering medicine, warfare, music & arts, and statecraft.
About the Char Upavedas
Each Upaveda is a comprehensive applied science linked to a parent Veda. Ayurveda (Medicine) is linked to the Atharvaveda; Dhanurveda (Warfare) to the Yajurveda; Gandharvaveda (Music & Arts) to the Samaveda; and Arthashastra (Statecraft) to the Atharvaveda. Each contains thousands of shlokas across multiple authoritative texts.
