Shruthi
Explanation

This literally means, ‘something which is heard’, and refers to the most authoritative Hindu texts such as the Vedas.

Context
Shruti texts are generally believed to have come directly from God. This is because they were not intentionally composed but heard by ancient Hindu Monks as fully completed verse.
