Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
Rigveda is the oldest Veda, composed about 3500 years ago. The Rigveda is in old Vedic Sanskrit. Sukta, which means "well-said," or more than a thousand hymns, are included. The hymns honour several different gods and goddesses. Three significant gods are Agni (the god of fire), Indra (a warrior god), and Soma (a plant used in a unique drink). The sages (rishis) composed the hymns, and priests taught students to recite and memorise each syllable, word, and sentence. Women also composed some of the hymns.
The correct statement is that today's books are written and printed, but The Rigveda was recited and heard rather than read.
