The 10th mandala, said to have been added later as its language varies from the other nine mandalas, contains the renowned Purushasukta clarifying the four varnas (Brahmana, Kshatriya, Vaishya, and Shudra) brought into the world from the mouth, arms, thighs, and feet of the maker. Consequently, the Rigveda has 10 Mandalas, 1028 Suktas, and 10,580 Riches. Around 1200 Mantras have been taken from the Rigveda. The songs of Atharvaveda advise how to overcome the malevolent soul.
