  1. the first vedic text is the Rig-veda which is the most important according to scolars and is the oldest veda. it was also divided into ten different books with 1028 hymns which include indria, agni, vishnu, rudra, varuna, and more early vedic gods. the second vedic text is the yajur-veda which is a preistly handbook in the preformance of yajnas. it was also divided into two sectors which are the earlier black and the more recent white. the third vedic text is the sama-veda which consists of chants and melodies to be sung during worship and the preformance of yajna. the forth vedic text is the atharva-veda which contains hymns, matras, and incantations.
