Summary
[edit]DescriptionVedas palm leaf manuscript, Tamil Grantha Script, Sanskrit, Tamil Nadu.jpg |
English: The four layers of texts that make up the Vedas were composed between 1500 to 600 BCE. They are the oldest documented sacred literature of Hinduism. These were orally transmitted for centuries and likely written down sometime around the start of the common era. The above palm leaf manuscript pages are from Tamil Nadu India, in Grantha script, Sanskrit language. This manuscript is likely pre-17th century, but the exact year of its production is unknown. Such manuscripts were produced and preserved in Hindu temples.
