Veda

The most sacred of the Hindu scriptures, hymns written in an old form of Sanskrit; the oldest may date from 1500 or 2000 BC. The four main collections are: the Rig Veda (hymns and praises); Yajur Veda (prayers and sacrificial formulae); Sâma Veda (tunes and chants); and Atharva Veda, or Veda of the Atharvans, the officiating priests at the sacrifices.
