{{ToBeEdited}}The '''[[Rigveda]]''' contains a number of '''dialogue hymns''', hymns that are in the form of [[dialogue]]s, representing the earliest surviving sample of this genre, and can be argued to be an early precursor of [[Sanskrit drama]]. They are found in the youngest part of the Rigveda ([[Mandala 1|RV 1]] and [[Mandala 10|RV 10]]) with the exception of the older River hymn ([[Mandala 3|RV 3]].33), where the rivers answer in reply to Vishvamitra's prayer.
