Translation:

“The Vedas are the root of all Dharma, full of knowledge, and guide us towards righteous conduct. The wise person follows the Vedas and leads a virtuous life.”

 

The Vedas are a collection of ancient Indian texts that are considered to be the oldest scriptures of Hinduism. They are divided into four main categories, each with its own unique set of teachings and knowledge. The four Vedas are the Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda, and Atharvaveda.
