The meaning of Vedas were further lost to these scriptures. To compete with the advent / invasion of various faiths there after like Buddhism, Jainism, Christianity, Islam, Sikhism, Sufism, etc the Brahmins in the last 2000 years further worked out various literature like Puranas, Bhaagvat (not Bhagvat Gita), etc on containing stories on things that looked great and out of the world but were opposed to the natural and spiritual sciences. Sanskrit started being replaced with local languages like Tamil, Pali, Prakrit, etc. The brahmins had started to undermean the Vedas for there personal benefits and supremacy and in the process the true essence of the Vedas was lost. The communities started to become by birth and not by action which they follow. Sanskrit started to become the propriety of the Brahmins. But for 3000 years the downfall of the Brahmin community continued to impact all other communities, viz Khstriya (administration), Vaishya (commerce) and Sudra (service). With the war of Mahabharat and other events, Lord Krishna was able to unite India and uplift the Khstriya (administration) community which lasted well for next 3000 years till whence India saw its first invasion with Alexander. However, the downfall of the Brahmin (faculty) community had already started then. Learned people like Lord Krishna and Ved Vyaas contributed to literature that contained the essense of the Vedas. Till about more than 5000 years ago, Sanskrit was the most prominent language.
