There are two types of Hindu scriptures: Hindu religious texts and Hindu classical texts. Conventionally, Hindu literature is grouped into two categories: Shruti - that which is revealed and Smriti - that which is learned. The Vedas constituting shruti, are considered divinely revealed and are thus sacred scripture.
