Yajurveda: "6.21 mentions a number of sciences". Is it true?

[paarsurrey]

Not fiction, Milton; different views. We are careful not to slight views of other Hindus. We respect the difference.
To a person interested in Aryan history and mythology (I am one), understanding the meaning of Vedas is important.

Is the word "India" as a region/country or "Aryan" as a proper name of a race even mentioned in Veda to get their history from Vedas as a source? Please
I did not read them in Yajurveda while reading it. If yes, please quote from Yajurveda. Right? Please
Regards

CHAPTER XXXVIII
4. O learned woman, acquire excellence, satisfy well thy parents.
Possessing body endowed with consciousness, please thy teachers with truthful speech.
Knowing the science of electricity rightly acquire supremacy.

Devi Chand at it again. Griffith:
"Overflow for the Asvins. Overflow for Sarasvatî. Overflow for Indra.
All-hail, what belongs to Indra! All-hail, what belongs to Indra!
All-hail, what belongs to Indra!"
No electricity, no learned women, no parents, no supremacy.

I have not read YajurVeda thoroughly, so I would not know. However, the name of the River Indus (Sindhu) is frequently mentioned in RigVeda.The Chinese called us 'Intu' in history and the Greeks called us 'Indoi' (Hindvi - of the region of Sindhu/Indus). Arabs also knew the word, that is why they have a name like Al-Hindi. India derives from a corruption of Sindhu/Indus.

"‘Ala al-Din ‘Ali ibn ‘Abd-al-Malik Husam al-Din al-Muttaqi al-Hindi (died 1567 CE/975 AH) was a Sunni Islamic scholar who is known for writing 'Kanz al-‘Ummāl fī sunan al-aqwāl wa'l af‘āl‎)'. The book is a collection of Islamic Hadith. Al-Hindi was born in Burhanpur, India."

Arya is mentioned at least 3 times in YajurVeda:

2. That I to all the people may address this salutary speech,
To priest and nobleman, Sûdra and Arya, to one of our own kin and to the stranger.
Dear may I be to Gods and guerdon-giver. Fulfilled be this my hope: be that my portion!

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/wyv/wyvbk14.htm
30 With nineteen they praised; Sûdra and Arya were created. Day and Night were Sovran Ladies.
With twenty-one they praised; solid-hoofed animals were created. Varuna was over-lord.
With twenty-three they praised; small animals were created. Pûshan was over-lord.
With twenty-five they praised; forest animals were created. Vâyu was over-lord.
With twenty-seven they praised; earth and heaven came apart. Vasus, Rudras, Âdityas followed separately, so they were over-lords.

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/wyv/wyvbk20.htm
17 Each fault in village or in wild, company or corporeal sense,
Each sinful act that we have done to Sûdra or Arya, or to
either's disadvantage, e’en of that sin thou art the expiation.

'Sindhu' also is mentioned at least three times in YajurVeda. See for yourself here: https://www.google.co.in/webhp?sour...=UTF-8#q=wyv+Sindhu+site:www.sacred-texts.com

You are so far out on a linguistic limb here that you're holding on by the shoots. India is a Greek name. Aryan means noble in the spoken Indo-Iranian languages..I might also mention that the name Iran comes from 'aryan'.

 

[Jainarayan]

However, the name of the River Indus (Sindhu) is frequently mentioned in RigVeda.The Chinese called us 'Intu' in history and the Greeks called us 'Indoi' (Hindvi - of the region of Sindhu/Indus). Arabs also knew the word, that is why they have a name like Al-Hindi. India derives from a corruption of Sindhu/Indus.

This right here.

The sound shift between Old Persian and Sanskrit gives us Hindu from Sindhu, hapta from sapta, Hairovati from Saraswati. Greek dropped the h from Persian 'hindu' and gave us indo(i). I love it when people claim that Hindu is a "corruption" of Sindhu. It's a regular, provable sound shift. Someone elsewhere once asked me, then why don't we say "Perhia". I said because Persia is a Greek name. I did not hear another word.

 

[Aupmanyav]

It is not that Persians do not know how to pronounce 's'. It did not always change to 'h' as in the case of Hindu, Harahvaiti and Haoma. Perhaps the early Aryans did not correctly pronounce 's'. Persia has a province known as 'Fars', and their language is known as 'Farsi'. See:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsua, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_people

 

[Aupmanyav]

There is something about rural/urban, forward/backward, in 's' changing to 'h' and similar substitutions. I will give two examples. The word for a village city in Punjabi is 'pind' (like in Rawalpindi - the city of the ruler). But in colloquial it is called as 'vind' (like in Bhikivind). Among Shrimali brahmins in Jodhpur the word for understanding is 'samajh'. But in spoken language it is 'humjiyo'. Perhaps they find it easier that way. The very same people can pronounce it the other way also if they want.

So, I think Zoroaster's people were more from a rural community to pronounce Soma as Haoma, Saraswati as Harahvaiti, and Sapta as Hapta. Well, I may be wrong, but it is just an idea.
