    TOPIC – SANSKRIT IN VEDAS
    Sanskrit in
    Vedas
    Sanskrit belongs to the Indo-European
    family of languages. It is one of the three
    earliest ancient documented languages that
    arose from a common root language now
    referred to as Proto-Indo-European
    language: Vedic Sanskrit ( c. 1500–500
    BCE). Mycenaean Greek ( c. 1450 BCE)
    and Ancient Greek ( c. 750–400 BCE).
    The language used in Vedas was
    prevalent in the form of different
    dialects. It was to some extent
    different from the present
    Sanskrit. It is termed as Vedic
    Sanskrit. Each Veda had its book
    of grammar known
    as Pratishakhya.
    Four Vedas are the earliest Hindu sacred
    texts composed in the North Indian
    Region. The literal meaning of Vedas is
    “knowledge”, written in ancient Sanskrit
    language (different from the
    contemporary Sanskrit language). Vedas
    are one of the oldest scriptures of the
    Hindu religion, believed to be
    composed by Aryans.
    Vedic civilization
    The Vedic period or Vedic age is the
    period between 1500 BC and 600
    BC. They were the next major
    civilization after the Indus Valley
    Civilization. During this period
    Vedas, the oldest sacred texts of
    Hinduism, were composed in the
    northern Indian subcontinent.
    GODS OF RIGVEDA
    The list of gods of Rigveda
    are: Agni, Indra, Soma,
    Rudra, Vishnu, Varuna and
    Mitra. The main god of
    Rigveda was Indra.
    Rig Veda - It is the oldest Veda. It is divided
    into 10 mandals and contains 1028 hymns.
    These hymns are in praise of Gods and
    Goddesses, like Indra, Varun, Agni, Abha, etc.
    These hymns are composed in Vedic Sanskrit.

    The earliest of the four Vedas and one of the


    most important texts of the Hindu tradition.
    Priests thought students to recite
    And memorize each syllable and
    word.
    Who is the founder of Rigveda?
    Who wrote Rig Veda?
    According to tradition, Vyasa is
    the compiler of the Vedas, who
    arranged the four kinds of
    mantras into four
    Samhitas (Collections).
    Sanskrit in Rig Veda
    From Sanskrit saṃskṛta,
    “adorned, cultivated, purified”),
    an Old Indo-Aryan language in
    which the most ancient
    documents are the Vedas,
    composed in what is
    called Vedic Sanskrit.
