*Vedas (वेदाः)
The Vedas (Samskrit : वेदाः) are a large body of ancient sacred texts which have originated in Bharatavarsha ( भारतवर्षः | the ancient Indian subcontinent). The Vedic Seers have received the Vedas through revelation. Vedas are considered to be Apaurusheya (अपौरुषेयः), or entirely superhuman, without any authorship. Composed in Vedic samskrit (वैदिकसंस्कृतम्), these texts constitute the oldest layer of samskrit literature and the oldest scriptures of the world.
The Four Vedas which are regarded as authoritative texts by the followers of Sanatana Dharma are
- ऋग्वेदः ॥ Rigveda
- यजुर्वेदः ॥ Yajurveda
- सामवेदः ॥ Samaveda
- अथर्ववेदः ॥ Atharvaveda
The Yajurveda is again divided into two parts- The Shukla (शुक्लः) and the Krishna (कृष्णः). The Krishna or the Taittiriya (तैत्तिरीयः) is the older version and the Shukla or the वाजसनेयी ॥ Vajasaneyi is a later revelation to Maharshi Yajnavalkya (याज्ञवल्क्यः) from Surya (सूर्यः). The Rigveda is divided into twenty one sections, the Yajurveda into one hundred and nine sections, the Samaveda into one thousand sections and the Atharvaveda into fifty sections. In all, the Veda is thus divided into one thousand one hundred and eighty shakhas (शाखाः | recensions). ...View More
