Answer:  

The knowledge of ancient times was passed on orally from generation to generation, as not everyone had access to the then relevant language and scriptures back in those times, and to propagate the important events and kinds, poets used to make songs which used to be sung by people and future generations learned from them and knowledge was passed on.  

Explanation:  

  • In ancient India, only members of the royal classes and the brahmin had access to education and the knowledge of scriptures.
  • Writing books came as a later development.
  • Therefore songs about kings, great battles, important historical events were made and widely sung amongst people and in courts.
  • Everyone learned from hearing these songs and they, in turn, taught their next generation.

This is how knowledge was transferred.
