Explanation

The Brahmanas are Vedic texts that primarily explain and elaborate on ritual procedures. They provide detailed instructions for performing Vedic sacrifices (yajnas), the symbolism behind rituals, and the priestly duties involved. They are not concerned with bhakti theory (devotion), yoga practices, or meditation techniques - those concepts gained prominence in later Hindu philosophy. The Brahmanas bridge the Vedic hymns (Samhitas) and the philosophical Upanishads.
