The highest caste in the Indian caste system was the group of priests. They held the highest social and religious status and were responsible for performing rituals, studying the Vedas, and maintaining religious traditions. This caste, known as the Brahmins, was considered the intellectual and spiritual elite of society.
The Vedas are sacred hymns in the language of Sanskrit. They form the oldest scriptures of Hinduism and are considered the foundation of Indian culture and philosophy. The Vedas are a collection of hymns, prayers, rituals, and philosophical teachings that were passed down orally from generation to generation by priests called Brahmins. They cover a wide range of topics including cosmology, mythology, rituals, moral teachings, and spiritual practices. The Vedas also contain hymns dedicated to various gods and goddesses worshipped during the Vedic period.

The early Indo-Aryans measured their wealth in cattle. Cattle were considered valuable and were used as a form of currency and status symbol. Owning a large herd of cattle indicated wealth and prosperity. They were also used for agricultural purposes, as a source of milk, and for religious rituals and sacrifices.
