The Vedas are a large body of texts originating in ancient India. Composed in Vedic Sanskrit, the texts constitute the oldest scriptures of Hinduism.
The Vedas are not of human agency. They are supposed to have been directly revealed, and thus are called Shruti meaning which is heard. The creation of Vedas is credited to Brahma.
The Vedic texts or Shruti are organized around four canonical collections of metrical material known as Samhitas, of which the first three are related to the performance of yajna in historical Vedic religion.
The Rig-Veda, contains the hymns to be recited by presiding priest and the Yajurveda, contains formulas to be recited by the officiating priest.
The Samveda containing formulas to be sung by the priest that chants and Atharvaveda contains a collection of spells and incantations, apotropaic charms and speculative hymns. It is Yajurveda which is partly prose and partly in verses.
