in the texts
Atharvaveda (Paippalāda)
Faith personified as a goddess, invoked to grant a request made with a ritual formula.
That which I beg with the tongue of the mongoose and with lips as its lid — may Śraddhā find that today, given by the tawny Soma.
Rigveda
Personified goddess of Faith by whom Agni is kindled and oblations offered, invoked at three daily times.
Just as the gods placed Śraddhā in the Asuras and in the mighty ones, so make our utterance dear among the generous and among the sacrificers.
By Śraddhā (Faith) Agni is kindled;
O Śraddhā, cause us to have faith here.
