What is the Rig Veda?
The Rig Veda is the earliest of the four Vedas and one of the most important texts of the Hindu tradition. It is a large collection of hymns in praise of the gods, which are chanted in various rituals. They were composed in an archaic language named Vedic that gradually evolved into classical Sanskrit.
The Rig Veda consists of 1028 hymns, organised into ten books known as maṇḍalas.
Each maṇḍala has sūktas (hymns) formed by individual strophes called ṛc (ric) from which the name Rig Veda. The philological and linguistic evidence indicates that the Rig Veda is one of the oldest existing texts in any Indo-European language and that probably originated from the region of present day Pakistan, between 1500 and 1200 BCE.
Answer:
The Rigveda is the oldest of the Vedas. It indicates over a thousand hymns in Vedic (old) Sanskrit. These hymns (called 'Sukta' - well said) are in praise of various gods and goddesses, mainly: Agni, Indra and Soma. These hymns were composed by sages, who learnt them and made their children learn.
