There are four recensions of the Krishna (вЂќblackвЂќ or вЂњdarkвЂќ) Yajurveda: In Indian philosophy these groups are referred to as вЂњheterodoxвЂќ or вЂњnon-VedicвЂќ (nДЃstika) schools. Two other Indian philosophies, Buddhism and Jainism, did not accept the authority of the Vedas and evolved into separate religions. Schools of Indian philosophy which cite the Vedas as their scriptural authority are classified as вЂњorthodoxвЂќ (ДЃstika). Philosophies and sects that developed in the Indian subcontinent have taken differing positions on the Vedas. Vedic mantras are recited at Hindu prayers, religious functions and other auspicious occasions. They form the oldest layer of Sanskrit literature and the oldest sacred texts of Hinduism.ДЄccording to Hindu tradition, the Vedas are apauruб№Јeya вЂњnot human compositionsвЂќ, being supposed to have been directly revealed, and thus are called Е›ruti (вЂќwhat is heardвЂќ). The Vedas ( Sanskrit vГ©da а¤µаҐ‡а¤¦ вЂњknowledgeвЂќ) are a large corpus of texts originating in Ancient India.
