Veda is the action and effect of banning (prohibiting something by law or mandate). The term is also used to name the period of time in which hunting and fishing are prohibited (prohibited). In this sense, the ban is usually applied to avoid predation of natural resources and to allow the reproduction (and, therefore, subsistence) of animals.
For example: "Tomorrow the ban on silversides begins in Lake San Jorge" , "A Chinese ship was accused of violating the ban in US territorial waters" , "Fox hunting is prohibited in these lands" .
When determining the etymological origin of the term veda we have to go back in time. Specifically, we have to go to Latin because there we discover which word comes from the word vetare , a verb that can be translated as "to prohibit by law."

Specifically, these are the layur-veda , the rig-veda , the sama-veda and the atharva-veda , which correspond respectively to the use of sacrifice, poetic recitation, chants and rituals.
In this sense, we cannot ignore the existence of a religion known as Vedism , which predates Hinduism and is based on those aforementioned four documents. Around the 6th century BC. C. It seems that it was when the end of that occurred, which was very strict in certain aspects.
Thus, for example, it has been known that the maxim to be followed was that the aforementioned bans could only be transmitted orally. To such an extent, the basic principle was that it was established that whoever wrote them down would suffer a terrible curse.
