Насчет "подсказок" - спасибо) Возможно, это ближе. Lingvo только "шепот" предложил

Не за что :) Все зависит от контекста

контекст такой :
They were perhaps whispers of God, or maybe insights of the wise. They gave the world meaning and life a purpose. These chants relieved vedana, the yearning of the restless human soul, hence became collectively known as the Veda. Those who heard them first came to be known as the Rishis.

Да, мне кажется, здесь "подсказки" подходят
