Detailed explanation-1: -The Rigveda Samhita is the oldest extant Indic text. It is a collection of 1, 028 Vedic Sanskrit hymns and 10, 600 verses in all, organized into ten books (Sanskrit: mandalas). The hymns are dedicated to Rigvedic deities.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Vedas. The Vedas are India’s earliest surviving texts, dating from approximately 2000 to 1500 B.C.E. These texts are made up of hymns and ritual treatises that are instructional in nature, along with other sections that are more speculative and metaphysical.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Vedas are considered the oldest Hindu texts. Scholars believe that they were written down some 2, 500 years ago, though the tradition often dates them to the beginning of Kali-yuga (circa 3000 BCE). Some Hindus say that there was originally only one Veda, the Yajur, which was later divided into four.
