Yajurveda

Atharvaveda

Sam veda

Rig Veda

Correct Answer:

Atharvaveda

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 2- Atharvaveda

The text that deals with Ayurveda is the Atharvaveda.

The Atharvaveda is the youngest of the four Vedas, and is dated to around 600-200 BCE. It is a collection of spells, incantations, and other magical formulas, including many that are related to healing and medicine.

The Atharvaveda contains a wealth of information about Ayurvedic concepts and practices, such as the doshas, the chakras, and herbal remedies. It also describes a variety of medical procedures, such as surgery and obstetrics.

The Atharvaveda is a foundational text of Ayurveda, and is still studied and used by Ayurvedic practitioners today.

The other Vedas, the Rig Veda, Sama Veda, and Yajur Veda, do not deal with Ayurveda in any detail. These Vedas are primarily concerned with hymns and prayers to the gods.
