I'm trying to understand, the Hindu timescales, but unable to understand if Vedas are revealed in every mahayuga or manuvantara, does any purana provide info as to when were Vedas revealed?

@Just_Do_It that's not helpful at all. I'm asking if Vedas were revealed in this satya Yuga or first satya yuga of this kalpa – Anisha Jul 3 '18 at 20:51

But your question doesn't match your comment, is different. – Just_Do_It Jul 3 '18 at 20:55

@Just_Do_It no I am asking the same thing. Satyuga is starting age in each time scale so it will be revealed in first age. – Anisha Jul 3 '18 at 20:57
According to the ParAshara Smriti (PS) the Vedas are recalled by Lord BrahmA at the beginning of each Kalpa.
Na kashchitvedakartA cha vedam smritvA chaturmukham |
Tathaiva dharmAn smarati manuh kalpAntareantare ||The author of the Veda there is none ; (he) the fourfaced (God), at each succeeding revolution of a Kalpa, recalls to mind the Veda ; and so does Manu remember the law (at each succeeding revolution of a Kalpa)
PS 1.21
According to Shvetashvatar Upanishad, Brahman delivers the Vedas to Brahma while creation:
यो ब्रह्माणं विदधाति पूर्वं यो वै वेदांश्च प्रहिणोति तस्मै ।
तं ह देवं आत्मबुद्धिप्रकाशं मुमुक्षुर्वै शरणमहं प्रपद्ये ॥ १८॥Seeking liberation, I take refuge in the Lord, who projected Brahma (the Creator) and delivered to him the Vedas, and who is the revealer of self-knowledge.
So, the answer should be "at the beginning of each new Kalpa".

Yes because as said Manu recalls the Smriti at the onset of each Kalpa and likewise Lord Brahma remembers the Vedas at the same time. @Anisha – Rickross Jul 4 '18 at 6:22

Added one reference from Upanishad and link to the related useful question. – Pandya♦ Jul 4 '18 at 9:43

@Kuhan the four faced God here is Brahma, who is deva in reality meaning divine being-also jiva(mortal) he dies during the end of kalpa he recalls the Veda in the new cycle. – Anisha Jul 5 '18 at 17:01
The Vedas are revealed to human civilization only at the beginning of every Treta yuga.
Srimad Bhagavatam:
11.17.11: In Satya-yuga the undivided Veda is expressed by the syllable om, and I am the only object of mental activities. I become manifest as the four-legged bull of religion, and thus the inhabitants of Satya-yuga, fixed in austerity and free from all sins, worship Me as Lord Haṁsa.
11.17.12: O greatly fortunate one, at the beginning of Tretā-yuga Vedic knowledge appeared from My heart, which is the abode of the air of life, in three divisions — as Ṛg, Sāma and Yajur. Then from that knowledge I appeared as threefold sacrifice.
