the oldest sacred texts of India

Four collections of hymns and ritual formulas: Rig, Sama, Yajur and Atharva, of which the Gita names the first three. They were held to be heard by the seers, not composed. Krishna respects them and also says they deal with the three qualities, and that for one who knows, they are of as much use as a well when the land is flooded.
