《梨俱吠陀》（梵语：??????，罗马化：?gveda），梵文由?c（“歌颂”）和veda（“知识”）两个词根构成，全名《梨俱吠陀本集》，汉译为《歌咏明论》，是吠陀经中最早出现的一卷，成文于公元前16世纪到前11世纪，是除了赫梯语的文献外，在印欧语系语言中最古老的书籍。与其他文明的古老文献不同，它是以口传方式保存下来的。

内容

《梨俱吠陀》分十卷，收诗1,028首﹐其中有11首被认为是附录，最短的诗只有3节，最长的诗有58节，是雅利安人来到印度河两岸，对神的赞歌。

雅利安人将宇宙分为三界：天界、空界和地界，每一界有11个神，三界共33个神，天界的神有帝奥斯、婆楼那、苏利耶、乌莎、罗底利；空界的神有因陀罗、阿邦那波陀、鲁陀罗；地界之神有泼利提韦、阿耆尼、苏摩，这些深厚而丰富的精神思维体系，反映出雅利安人对于先智慧开导者们的崇拜与向往。因陀罗是古印度人部落的首领，骁勇善战，在公元前2000年征服印度，古印度人的诗人为了歌颂他而创作出200余首神曲。

《梨俱吠陀》中所记载的妖魔，后人推断为古代印度的奴隶，西来的雅利安人又以“瓦尔那”来分别其阶级，最后再转义为“种姓”，《梨俱吠陀》末卷出现了婆罗门、刹帝利、吠舍、首陀罗四个种姓。

《梨俱吠陀》除颂神的诗歌外，还有世俗诗歌，有一些以婚礼、爱情、巫术甚至是赌博为内容的神曲，例如第六章俗谛神曲序《赌徒忏悔录》，描写掷骰子的迷人之处，一位教徒赌输后跪在神像前忏悔，哀号凄切，以及家中母亲和妻子的忧伤。这些作品都反映着吠陀时期人民的生活习俗。

传播

《梨俱吠陀》的成书时间相传是在公元前2000至前1500年之间，但最早的文字流传仅能追溯至公元15世纪，《梨俱吠陀》实际上是靠婆罗门祭司们代代口耳相传，尔后才有手稿。玄奘在迦湿弥罗的时候曾读过“四吠陀”，但未必是此书，也不能证明唐朝时此书流传于世。19世纪欧洲人第一次刊印《梨俱吠陀》，有德、英、法等译本。
