The RV, translated literally as "the knowledge of the hymns of praise", is the oldest literary monument of the Indian language. It contains 1,028 hymns (s¯ukt¯as), that are distributed among ten books or song cycles (man.d.al¯as) according to clearly recognisable principles. The division into ten books is not coincidental. Books II–VII, the so-called family books, stem from important families of poets. man.d.al¯a IXcontains mainly songs to Soma.
