Rig Veda RigVeda : The first of the four Vedas. Two others, the Yajur & Sama, are merely different arrangements of its hymns for special purposes. The hymns of the Rig-Veda are addressed to the deities, at times, to the same deity under different names. To each hymn is prefixed the name of the Rishi to whom it was revealed. The ‘Samhita’ or text of the Rig-veda contains 1017 hymns (or 1028 if the “Balakhilam”, VIII-49 to 59, is included) divided into 10 mandalas or books.
