Literary sources

religious literature
writings which deal with religion are religious literature.the four Vedas the two great epics the Ramayana and the Mahabharata ,the Upanishads are rich source of information on Hindu religion and Aryan society

secular literature

literature that is not religious is called secular.Poems ,plays accounts of foreign travellers and works in the field of politics and science are included in this. for example , Kalidasa's plays meghadoot and Abhigyan Shakultalam give information about Gupta period as well as acquaint the readers with the flora and fauna of that time
