Explanation:

The Rigveda is the oldest known Vedic Sanskrit text. The text is organized in ten "books" or madalas ("circles"), of varying age and length. The hymns are arranged in collections each dealing with a particular deity: Agni comes first, Indra comes second, and so on. They are attributed and dedicated to a rishi (sage) and his family of students. Atharvaveeda consists of knowledge of the physical world and spirituality.
