2. Bhagavad Gita: A part of the epic Mahabharata, written in Sanskrit. It is a dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna, exploring dharma, karma, and spirituality.
3. Sanskrit: The ancient language in which most Hindu sacred texts (including Vedas and Bhagavad Gita) are written.

Sacred Writings of Buddhism:

1. Tripitaka (Pali Canon): The primary sacred text of Buddhism, containing the Buddha’s teachings, rules for monastics, and philosophical discussions. Written in Pali (and some Sanskrit-influenced texts).
2. Sutras (e.g., Lotus Sutra, Diamond Sutra): Texts containing the Buddha’s discourses, often written in Sanskrit or translated into other languages.
3. Note: Buddhism also has texts influenced by Sanskrit traditions, though its core texts are in Pali/Sanskrit-derived languages.
