The oldest sacred books of the Hindus known as the "Vedas," written in Sanskrit, contain many references to pearls. The "Rigveda"  the oldest of the "Vedas" originating in northwestern India 1,700-1,100 B.C. (3,700-3,300 B.P.) uses the word "krisana" in many verses, which is generally translated as signifying pearls. The "Atharvaveda" written around 1200-1,000 B.C. (3,200-3,000 B.P.) refers to an amulet made of pearls, and used as a talisman. References to pearls are also found in the two great epics of ancient India, the Ramayana, the ancient Sanskrit epic ascribed to the 

Hindu sage Valmiki, probably originating in the 5th-century B.C (2,500 B.P.); and the Mahabaratha, the Sanskrit philosophical/historic epic of the 4th-century B.C. (2,400 B.P.) attributed to Vyasa. Hindu Literature associates the pearl with Krishna, the 8th-incarnation of Vishnu, the most popular God of Hindu worship, who is believed to have retrieved pearls from the depths of th

e sea to adorn his daughter on the day of her wedding. The renowned classical Sanskrit writer, of the 4th or 5th century A.D. widely regarded as the greatest poet and dramatist in the Sanskrit Language, commonly known as the Hindu Shakespeare but preceded William Shakespeare by 12 centuries, makes frequent reference to pearls in his works, which he called "muktha" meaning "pure."
