For competitive exams, the standard answer is Horse.

  • Known animals: Bull, Cow, Buffalo, Goat, Sheep, Elephant, Dog, Camel.

  • (B) Aranyakas
  • (C) Epics
  • (D) Puranas
📝 Notes
✅ Correct Answer: (B) Aranyakas

  2. Brahmanas – Rituals and sacrificial ceremonies
  3. Aranyakas – Meditation and symbolic interpretation of rituals
  4. Upanishads – Philosophy and spiritual knowledge (Vedanta)

Therefore, the treatises that separate the Brahmanas from the Upanishads are the Aranyakas.

Answer: (B) Aranyakas

Exam Tip (AFCAT/CDS/UPSC):

  • Samhitas → Hymns
  • Brahmanas → Rituals
  • Aranyakas → Transition from rituals to philosophy
  • Upanishads → Philosophy; knowledge of Brahman and Atman

  • Indus Valley Civilization → Archaeological sources, not Puranas
  • Vardhana Dynasty → Mainly known from Harshacharita by Banabhatta and the accounts of the Chinese traveler Xuanzang.
