    Solution

    The Rig Veda is the largest and most important of the Vedic texts. It consists of 1,028 hymns (including the Valakhilia hymns) organized into ten books known as mandalas. These hymns were composed in Vedic Sanskrit, an archaic language that eventually evolved into classical Sanskrit. The Rig Veda is considered the oldest of the four Vedas and forms the foundation of ancient Indian religious and philosophical thought.
