== Important Suktas of Different Kinds ==
In the Rigveda we find Suktas of different kinds based on the subject matter. They include topics such as manovijnana (science of the mind or psychology) and bhashavijnana (science of language) along with srsthi-utpatti (the origin of creation), ayurveda (science of health), darshanika tattva (philosophy), adhyatmika tattva (spirituality) etc. Apart from topic based suktas, we have samvada suktas based on conversation between two characters (deities, rshis etc).<ref name=":6" />

(1) देवस्तुतिपरकसूक्त - Suktas primarily in praise and worship of devatas, example - Agni Sukta
