Question

What does Rigveda contain?

Answer 1

The Rigveda (sanskrit: ऋग्वेद, meaning "verses of wisdom") is the oldest translatable scripture in the Hindu Religion, providing the original foundation for its ever expanding corpus of sacred writings, as well as the inspiration for countless gurus and seers who enriched the subsequent growth of Vedic tradition. Written in Sanskrit, and comprised of hymns dedicated to various gods, the Rigveda is counted among the four canonical sacred texts (śruti) of Hinduism, and acceptance of these texts is the criterion of orthodoxy in all systems of Hindu philosophy.

Answer 2

The Rig Veda is the book of Mantra. It contains the oldest form of all the Sanskrit mantras. It consists of a thousand such hymns of different seers, each hymn averaging around ten verses. It is built around a science of sound which comprehends the meaning and power of each letter.
