In my limited reading [of Hinduism], I found no claim of any kind that sporoi could come close to passing the test in 2 Tim. 3:16-17

And what exactly are the criteria spelled out in 2 Tim 3? Answer: none!. In other words, whatever your heart desires!

No, for THESE purposes the answer is: A TOTALITY of sacred texts that are God-breathed and are useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, SO THAT the man of God may be THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED for EVERY good work.

For one thing, to my knowledge, Hinduism makes no claim that all of its scriptures are God-breathed. For another, Christianity claims that the scriptures have everything that we need to know to love and serve God, and live a Christian life. I don't know if those other faiths claim that. I would assume that most faiths add man's opinions to what they first declare to be their sacred texts, and then later declare administratively that those opinions are also sacred. The Mormons, for example.
