It seems like there might be a typo in your question. If you are referring to the ancient sacred texts of Hinduism, they are called the "Vedas" (not Vedict). The Vedas are a collection of religious hymns, prayers, and rituals that form the foundation of Hindu sacred literature. There are four Vedas:
- Rigveda: The oldest Veda, consisting of hymns dedicated to various deities.
- Samaveda: Primarily consisting of chants and melodies used in rituals.
- Yajurveda: Containing prose mantras and instructions for rituals.
- Atharvaveda: Including spells, charms, and incantations for various purposes.
The Vedas are highly revered in Hinduism and are considered the oldest sacred texts of the religion. They play a central role in the practice of rituals, hymns, and philosophical discussions within the Hindu tradition.
