Mundhum
Mundhum (also known as ''Peylan'') is the ancient religious scripture and folk literature of the Kirat people of Nepal. It is the ancient, indigenous religion of Nepal. Mundhum means "the power of great strength" in the Kiranti languages. The Mundhum covers many aspects of the Kirant culture, customs and traditions that have been taken from the Vedic civilisation in South Asia .〔(Cultures & people of Darjeeling )〕
Mundhum is organised into two parts — Thungsap and Peysap. The Mundhum extends beyond religion, serving as a guide for culture, ritual and social values. Mundhum is written in ancient Kiranti languages and versions vary among the various Kirat tribes, serving as each tribe's distinctive culture and framing their social identity and unity in relation to other tribes and peoples.〔Monika Bock, Aparna Rao.

==Thungsap Mundhum==
The Thungsap Mundhum was collected, preserved and passed on by word of mouth and folklore until the art of writing was introduced.〔 It was an epic composed and recited in the form of songs by ''Sambas'', religious poets and bards. The Kirat priests in the beginning were called the Sambas where ''Sam'' means song and ''Ba'' means the one (male) who knows the Sam.〔
