The Hindu Sacred Text is referred to as the Veda, which is a Sanskrit word meaning 'KNOWLEDGE'. It is a collection of ancient religious texts written in Vedic Sanskrit, which is an ancient language of India. The Veda is composed of four collections of hymns and other ancient religious texts, which are known as the Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda, and Atharvaveda. These texts are believed to have been composed between 1500 and 1000 BCE, and are considered to be the oldest surviving texts of Hinduism.
