All these scriptures are composed in the Sanskrit language.Shruti scriptures are the Vedas which consist of the Samhita (Saṁhitā) parts of Rigveda (Ṛgveda), Yajurveda, Sāmaveda, and Atharvaveda, and the appendages of the Vedas, namely, Brahmana texts (Brāhmaṇa texts), Aranyaka texts (Āraṇyakas), and the Upanishad texts (Upaniṣad texts).
