The Vedas (; Sanskrit: veda, "knowledge") are a large body of knowledge texts originating in the ancient Indian subcontinent. Composed in Vedic Sanskrit, the texts constitute the oldest layer of Sanskrit literature and the oldest scriptures of Hinduism. Hindus consider the Vedas to be apaurueya, which means "not of a man, superhuman" and "impersonal, authorless".Vedas are also called ruti ("what is heard") literature, distinguishing them from other religious texts, which are called smti ("what is remembered").
