List Of Hindu Scriptures
The following is a bibliography of Hindu scriptures and texts. Hinduism is based on "the accumulated treasury of spiritual laws discovered by different persons in different times." The scriptures were transmitted orally, in verse form to aid memorization, for many centuries before they were written down. While many of these texts are in Sanskrit, several others have been composed in, or translated into other Indian languages.

These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”

If with too credent ear you list his songs,
Or lose your heart, or your chaste treasure open
To his unmastered importunity.”
