The Vedas are eternal. They are without beginning and end. An ignorant man may say how a book can be without beginning or end. By the Vedas, no books are meant. Vedas are the words of Brahman. The Vedas are not the utterances of persons. They are not compositions of any human mind. They were never written, never created. They are eternal and impersonal.
The Vedas have been preserved intact through a beginning-less period by being handed down from teacher to pupil with scrupulous care. This belief is based on the circumstances that tradition has throughout been silent regarding authorship of the Vedas, while in case of every other ancient work, a mention is made of some author or the other.<ref>Hiriyanna, M., Outlines of Indian Philosophy, Page 312</ref>
