Several lists of Hindu scriptures have appeared, and scholars hesitate in defining the term "Hindu scripture" given the diverse nature of Hinduism.〔Dominic Goodall (1996), Hindu Scriptures, University of California Press, ISBN 978-0520207783, page ix-xi〕 Several lists include only the Vedas, the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita as scriptures broadly accepted by Hindus.〔〔RC Zaehner (1992), Hindu Scriptures, Penguin Random House, ISBN 978-0679410782, pages 1-11 and Preface〕 Some lists add some regional texts as the Tantric Agamas, Bhagavata Purana , Yajnavalkya Smriti and Naalayira Divya Prabhandham.〔 Most of these texts exist in Sanskrit, several others have been composed in regional languages such as Tamil.〔http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-28755509〕 In modern times, most have been translated into other Indian languages and some in Western languages. In ancient times, the scriptures were transmitted orally, from one generation to next, in verse form to aid memorization, for many centuries before they were written down.〔Sargeant, Winthrop, Introduction to ''The Bhagavad Gita'' at 3 (New York, 1984) ISBN 0-87395-831-4〕〔Swami Nikhilananda, ''The Upanishads: A New Translation'' Vol. I, at 3 (5th Ed. 1990) ISBN 0-911206-15-9〕 This list includes all major religious Hindu texts, including the Hindu scriptures, as well. __NOTOC__ ==A== *Agama – important ''smriti'' scriptures.
