The "ancient Vedic text" refers collectively to the Vedas, the most sacred and foundational scriptures of Hinduism, which were composed in an archaic Sanskrit between approximately 1500 and 500 BCE and were initially transmitted orally before being compiled into four main collections: the Rigveda, Samaveda, Yajurveda, and Atharvaveda. These texts comprise hymns, prayers, sacrificial formulas, and philosophical discussions, providing a record of ancient Indian culture, society, and religious practices.
