Question

State whether the sentence is true (T) or false (F). The Rigveda is the earliest composition in the Sanskrit language.
A. True
B. False

Answer 1

Hint:
1. It is the oldest of Hinduism's sacred texts, written in ancient form in around 1500 BCE.
2. Before it was written down around 300 BCE, it was held orally.

Complete answer:
-Rigveda is an ancient series of Vedic Sanskrit hymns from India. It is one of Hinduism's four sacred canonical scriptures, known as the Vedas.
-Rigveda is the oldest known Sanskrit Vedic text. Its layers are the oldest extant texts in any Indo-European language. Since the 2nd millennium BCE, Rigveda's sounds and texts have been orally transmitted.
-The philological and linguistic evidence shows that in the northwestern region of the Indian subcontinent, the bulk of the Rigveda Samhita was written, most likely between c. 1500 and 1200 BCE, although the approximation of c is broader. 1700-1100 BCE was also issued.
-The text consists of the Samhita, Brahmanas, Aranyakas and Upanishads and is layered. The main text is the Rigveda Samhita, which is a set of 10 books with 1,028 hymns in approximately 10,600 verses.

Therefore, from the above conclusions, Rigveda is the earliest composition in the Sanskrit language. Hence, Option A. True is a correct answer.

Note:
1. Through oral tradition, the Rigveda hymns were written and maintained. For several years, they have been memorized and orally transmitted with' unprecedented accuracy' across generations.
2. The Rigveda is made up of Samhita (hymns to the deities, the oldest portion of the Rigveda), Brahmanas, hymn commentaries, Aranyakas, or Upanishad "forest books".
