v4.c58.43
4000 B. C. — 1000 B. C. — The period of the Vedic Saṃhitās, Brāhmaṇas and Upaniṣads. Some hymns of the Ṛgveda, the Taittirīya Saṃhitā and Brāhmaṇa and the Atharvaveda may possibly go back to a period earlier than even 4000 B. C. and some of the Upaniṣads (even from among those that are regarded as the earliest ones) may be later than 1000 B. C.
