Rigveda
The Rigveda (Sanskrit  , a compound of "praise, verse" and "knowledge") is an ancient Indian collection of Vedic Sanskrit  hymns  dedicated to the gods (devas). It is counted among the four Hindu canonical sacred texts (śruti) known as the Vedas. Based on philological and linguistic evidences, the Rigveda was composed roughly between 1700–1100 BCE (the early Vedic period) in the Sapta Sindhu region (a land of seven great rivers) which is now believed to be the region around Punjab, putting it among the world's oldest religious texts in continued use, as well as among the oldest texts of any Indo-European language.
