ហិណ្ឌូសាសនា	The Buddha forbade drinking and Buddhist kings such as Ashoka influenced society by banning animal sacrifices. During the rule of the Buddhist king, Ashoka Maurya, an edict was passed and inscribed in a rock proclaiming, From here on, social reaction with regard to the sacrificial (brahmanas) texts can be traced. Panini says there are two kinds of brahmanas, the old brahmanas and the new brahmanas. In the old brahmanas, such as the Aitareya Brahmana of the Rig, sacrifices were really offered, but in later brahmanas such as the Shatapatha Brahmana animals were let loose after being tied to sacrificial posts. This was a reaction to the rise of the Shramanic religion, such as Buddhism and Jainism; which resulted in Ahimsa put into practice amongst practitioners of the Brahmanas.
ហិណ្ឌូសាសនា	The early medieval Puranas were composed to disseminate religious mainstream ideology among the pre-literate tribal societies undergoing acculturation. With the breakdown of the Gupta empire, gifts of virgin waste-land were heaped on brahmanas, to ensure provitable agrarical exploitation of land owned by the kings, but also to provide status to the new ruling classes. Brahmanas spread further over India, interacting with local clans with different religions and ideologies. The Brahmanas used the Puranas to incorporate those clans into the agrarical society and its accompanying religion and ideology. According to Flood, "[t]he Brahmans who followed the puranic religion became known as "smarta", those whose worship was baed on the "smriti", or "pauranika", those based on the Puranas." Local chiefs and peasants were absorbed into the castesystem, which was used to keep "control over the new "kshatriyas" and "shudras". The Brahmanic caste was enlarged by incorporating local subgroups, such as local priets. This also lead to a stratification within the Brahmanic caste, with some Brahmins having a lower status than other Brahmains. The use of caste worked better with the new Puranic Hinduism than with the shramanic sects. The Puranic texts provided extensive genealogies which gave status to the new "kshatriyas". Buddhist myths pictured government as a contract between an elected ruler and the people. And the Buddhist "chakkavatti" "was a distinct concept from the models of conquest held up to the "kshatriyas" and the Rajputs."
សំស្ក្រឹត	From the Rigveda until the time of (fl. 4th century BCE) the development of the early Vedic language may be observed in other Vedic texts: the Samaveda, Yajurveda, Atharvaveda, Brahmanas, and Upanishads. During this time, the prestige of the language, its use for sacred purposes, and the importance attached to its correct enunciation all served as powerful conservative forces resisting the normal processes of linguistic change. However, there is a clear, five-level linguistic development of Vedic from the Rigveda to the language of the Upanishads and the earliest Sutras (such as Baudhayana).

Scholars often distinguish Vedic Sanskrit and Classical or "Pāṇinian" Sanskrit as separate 'dialects'. Though they are quite similar, they differ in a number of essential points of phonology, vocabulary, grammar and syntax. Vedic Sanskrit is the language of the Vedas, a large collection of hymns, incantations (Samhitas), theological and religio-philosophical discussions in the Brahmanas and Upanishads. Modern linguists consider the metrical hymns of the Rigveda Samhita to be the earliest, composed by many authors over several centuries of oral tradition. The end of the Vedic period is marked by the composition of the Upanishads, which form the concluding part of the Vedic corpus in the traditional view; however the early Sutras are Vedic, too, both in language and content. Around the mid-1st millennium BCE, Vedic Sanskrit began the transition from a first language to a second language of religion and learning.
