It is said that Veda was one and later Vyasa arranged it into four ( rig sama yaju atharva) and then propagated through his pupil and hence we got shakhaas etc. What was time time when vedas were rearranged into four? Were it only one before that? I am looking for authentic reference for vedas becoming four from one and the era when it was done.
vedas history tradition vyasa
