By Multiple Vedic ṛṣis (oral tradition). Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith, 1896. Public domain.
The earliest of the four Vedas, composed in archaic Sanskrit roughly between 1500 and 1000 BCE. A collection of 1,028 hymns to deities and natural forces, organized into ten maṇḍalas. Griffith's late-19th-century translation is accessible but has been superseded on philology by Jamison & Brereton (Oxford, 2014).
