Vedas There are four Vedas – the Rigveda , Samaveda , Yajurveda,  and Atharvaveda .  The oldest Veda is the Rigveda, composed about 3500 years ago. The Rigveda includes more than a thousand hymns (भजन), or “well-said”. It is in old or Vedic Sanskrit. These hymns are in praise of various gods and goddesses. Three gods are especially important: Agni, the god of fire; Indra, a warrior god; and Soma, a plant from which a special drink was prepared.  These hymns were composed by sages ( ऋषि ).

That is why those who hunted them had to follow their movements. plants and trees bear fruit in different seasons. So, people may have moved from season to season in search of different kinds of plants. people, pla...
