Rigveda is the first Veda among the four Vedas. The Rigveda, written about 3500 years ago, is the first Veda. There are more than a thousand hymns, or sukta, in Rigveda. Sanskrit refers to the Vedas as sruti, meaning "what is heard". It sets them apart from other religious works, known as smriti, Sanskrit, for "what is remembered." According to Rigveda, the most mentioned river is Sindhu, and the most pious river is Saraswati. It is the oldest text that still exists in the Indo-European language. Oral transmission of the Rigveda dates back to the second millennium BCE.
