The Rig-Veda is the oldest extant Indic text, composed between 1500-1200 BCE. It is the oldest of the four Vedas and one of the oldest extant texts in any Indo-European language. The Yajur-Veda, Sama-Veda, and Atharva-Veda were composed later, with the Sama-Veda deriving many of its hymns from the Rig-Veda.
