Vedas (religious texts, <documents by function>, ... Visual and Verbal Communication (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Sacred literature in the form of a collection of poems or hymns composed in archaic Sanskrit and known to the Indo-European-speaking peoples who entered India during the 2nd millennium BCE. The corpus of Vedic literature includes the Samhitas, the Brahmanas, the Aranyakas, and the Upanishads, and is believed to be derived from divine revelation. The Vedas were long preserved orally, perhaps with now-lost early manuscripts to assist memory. Several of these works are yet today recited with subtleties of intonation and rhythm that have been handed down from the early days of Vedic religion in India.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Dutch ..... Een heilige verzameling gedichten of hymnen, geschreven in archaïsch Sanskriet en reeds bekend bij de Indo-Europees sprekende volkeren die in het 2e millennium v.Chr. naar India migreerden. Het corpus van de Vedische literatuur omvat de Samhita's, de Brahmana's, de Aranyaka's en de Upanishads, en wordt beschouwd als het product van goddelijke openbaring. De Veda's werden lange tijd mondeling bewaard en doorgegeven, al waren er wellicht ook vroege manuscripten die als geheugensteun fungeerden, maar die nu verdwenen zijn. Verschillende van deze werken worden tegenwoordig nog steeds gereciteerd met een specifieke intonatie en ritme, die nog uit de begintijd van de Vedische religie in India stammen. |
