In the Vedic period, "goghna" refers to a type of sacrificial offering involving the cow. It is associated with rituals that honor the cow, which was considered a sacred and valuable animal in Vedic society.

There are the four Vedas (the Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharvana Vedas) but the period of the development of Hinduism in which they were written (and some time before that) is sometimes referred to as the Vedic period. So, hypothetically, any text from that time could be "Vedic" but as a general rule the Vedic texts are the texts that only come from the four Vedas.
