In the Rig Veda, "rucha" refers to individual verses (sometimes also called "mantras") which are collected into a "sukta" or hymn. The hymns or suktas were then combined into the 10 "mandalas" or books of the Rig Veda. For example, the famous Purusha sukta has 16 richas. It is the 90th sukta of the 10th mandala of the Rig Veda. The Rig Veda contains about 10,600 richas organized into 191 suktas. The other three Vedas use similar terminology. To give an example of the approximate length of a richa, the first richa of the Purusha Sukta is: sahasra shirsha purushah sahasrakshah sahasrapat sa bhumim vishvato vrtva atyatishthat dashangulam Purusha is thousand-headed, thousand-eyed, and with a thousand feet. He contains the universe, and transcends it by ten digits. See the Wikipedia entries for Rig Veda and the Purusha Sukta for more information.
