Home›Hindu Scriptures›Language›SanskritBrowse BySanskritThis page groups scripture texts by the language they were first written down in. Wikipedia notes that most sacred scriptures "were originally a part of their oral tradition, and were passed down through memorization from generation to generation until they were finally committed to writing," at which point a specific language was fixed. Browsing by language lets a visitor find every text first written in the same tongue.FactsSanskritSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsDirectoryCategoryWell-attestedScriptures & Texts 1SanskritFilter Results15 entriesLiterary FormAllCosmogony / creation myth (3)Funerary text (1)Manual (1)Narrative / epic (2)Philosophical dialogue (2)Text collection / anthology (6)Wisdom literature (1)HistoricityAllHistorically attested (4)Canonical StatusAllCanonical (6)Non-canonical (1)Shruti (revealed) (1)Smriti (remembered) (8)TraditionAllGaudiya Vaishnavism (1)Shaivism (2)Shaktism (1)Vaishnavism (4)Attributed ToAllValmiki (1)Vyasa (7)Originated InAllKashmir (1)Originates In LanguageAllSanskrit (15)Parent workAllPuranas (1)Canon divisionAllAgama Scriptures (4)Shruti Scriptures (1)Smriti Scriptures (10)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 15Agni PuranaSanskritBhagavad GitaSanskritBhagavata PuranaSanskritDevi MahatmyaSanskritGaruda PuranaSanskritKamika AgamaSanskritMarkandeya PuranaSanskritPancharatra SamhitasSanskritPuranasSanskritShaiva AgamasSanskritSkanda PuranaSanskritUpanishadsSanskritVaikhanasa AgamasSanskritVishnu PuranaSanskritYoga VasisthaSanskritSources1.
