Traditional scriptures of India
The traditional scripture of India is the "Veda", which was first sung orally and by word of mouth. That is why it is also called Shruti. This "Veda" again has these 4 parts: Rik, Sam, Jaju and Atharva. Each Veda again has these 4 parts Sanhita, Brahman, Aranyaka and Upanishad. The Sanhita section contains hymns and mantras written for the deity. The Brahmanical part contains the rules of Yajna. The Aranyaka part contains philosophy and the Upanishads part contains the Aranyaka philosophical analysis and theory. This Upanishad is again called Vedanta. "Srimad Bhagavad Gita" but not a scripture. "Mahabharata" is a chapter or chapter of the epic.
