The '''[[Rigveda]]''' contains a number of '''dialogue hymns''' (''{{IAST|saṃvāda-sūkta}}''s), hymns that are in the form of [[dialogue]]s, representing the earliest surviving sample of this genre, and can be argued to be an early precursor of [[Sanskrit drama]]. They are found in the youngest part of the Rigveda ([[Mandala 1|RV 1]] and [[Mandala 10|RV 10]]), dating to roughly the 12th to 10th centuries BC, with the exception of the older River hymn ([[Mandala 3|RV 3]].33), where the rivers answer in reply to Vishvamitra's prayer.

*1.179 [[Agastya]] and [[Lopamudra]] (5 [[trishtubh]]s, 1 [[brhati]])
*3.33 [[Vishvamitra]] and the [[Rigvedic rivers|Rivers]] (12 trishtubhs, 1 [[anushtubh]])
*10.10: dialogue of [[Yama and Yami]] (12 anushtubhs)
*10.51 [[Agni]] and the gods (9 trishtubhs)
*10.86 [[Sachi|Indrani]], [[Indra]], the "he-ape" [[Vrshakapi]] and his wife
*10.95: dialogue of [[Pururavas]] and [[Urvashi]] (18 trishtubhs)
*10.183: dialogue between the sacrificer and his wife (3 trishtubhs)
