I have posed certain questions about this template at Hinduism noticeboard's talk page. Please feel free to chime in there. Thanks.Abecedare03:19, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
For some reason the article mentioned the Artharva Veda as being referred to as the fifth Veda, when it is the fourth out of four. I fixed that, but if someone knows why then fix it back—Precedingunsigned comment added by66.190.237.157 (talk)19:16, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The title and sections of this template imply that all Hindu texts are scriptures, including their Sanskrit texts on music, phonetics, etc. Few Hindu texts are considered by scholars as Hindu scriptures, most are non-scriptures. Many have religious / spiritual / Hindu culture-related content. For sources and a discussion on Hindu scriptures, see: [1]Scripture, Encyclopedia Britannica (see Scriptures in non-Western religions section); [2] R.C. Zaehner (1992), Hindu Scriptures, Penguin Random House,ISBN 978-0679410782; [3] Dominic Goodall, Hindu Scriptures, University of California Press,ISBN 978-0520207783.
How about the following layout, based on above and other sources:

Shashtras are not by any stretch Hindu texts. There is nothing in the wiki article for Shashtras:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shastra itself that indicates that it can be called. The delimitation of what constitutes a Hindu text itself is unclear, therefore it is more logical to go by what can be considered religious in nature and shashtras do not fall in that category.
Moreover, in the list there are many scriptures which fall neither in the category of shashtra nor sutras.— Precedingunsigned comment added by122.163.85.255 (talk)15:27, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Quote: Susruta's Samhita emphasized surgical matters, including the use of specific instruments and types of operations. It is in his work that one finds significant anatomical considerations of the ancient Hindu.

AddSangam Literature as a new section and addEight Anthologies,Ten Idylls,Eighteen Lesser Texts andThirukkural andTolkāppiyam.
Reason: These are huge literary works of Tamil Hinduism dating to 2nd century BC - 10th century CE. These are of prime importance in South Indian , Srilankan & South East Asian Hinduism. These are non-vedic shaivasim texts.
