Apart from these we find a good number of Akhyana and Samvada suktas in the Rigveda. They are said to be the seed material of the later day Itihasa, Kavyas, Mahakavyas (poetics), and natakas (drama). The information found in seed form in the Rigveda is supported and elaborated, similar to a fruit-bearing tree, in the Brahmana and Aranyaka literature. In this way the Akhyana and Samvada suktas have  significant role in defining the Bharatiya Laukika Sahitya. The concepts found ground and developed further in the Itihasa and Purana literature. According to the traditional views, it is said that dramaturgy (the art of dramas) originated from the Vedas. Mahamuni Bharata the author of Natyashastra, describes that Brahma composed the "Natyaveda or Panchamaveda" as the essence of the four vedas upon request of the devatas. For this purpose, the essence of Pathya (including the Samvadas and anecdotes) was taken from the Rigveda, that of Sangeeta (music) from Samaveda, Abhinaya (action) from Yajurveda, and Rasa (aesthetics) from Atharva veda.<ref name=":6" />
