In the Vedic tradition, each Veda is associated with a specific Ritvik role:
• Rigveda: The Hota is responsible for recitation of hymns and mantras.
• Yajurveda: The Adhwaryu performs the practical aspects of rituals.
• Samveda: The Udgaataa chants melodies and hymns.
• Atharvaveda: The Brahma oversees the ritual, ensuring its correctness.
