study of the Vedas
teaching
sacrifice for oneself

giving (donations)
receiving gifts/donations
of the Kṣatriyas
protecting the people
giving gifts (to Brāhmaṇas)
sacrificing for oneself
study of the Vedas
of the Vaiśyas

varṇa m. -- वर्ण : Color, birth class (social order).
The four classes (varṇa m.) are often confused with castes. However, the four classes -- unlike castes -- are not specifically Indian; in Europe as well, we had (partly up to the First World War) a class system, as evidenced by the following illustration from the 15th century:

Caption:
Priestly estate (~Brāhmaṇa): Tu supplex ora = You pray earnestly!
Noble estate (~Kṣatriya): Tu protege = You protect!
Peasant estate (~Vaiśya/Śūdra): Tuque labora = And you work!
The three estates wear their respective estate attire. Above the – thereby designated as divinely ordained – estates, Christ reigns on his throne.
Max Weber (1864–1920) defines estate as follows:
»Estate« shall denote a multitude of people who, within an association, effectively
a) claim an estate-specific special esteem, - possibly also
b) estate-specific special monopolies.
Estates can arise
a) primarily, through their own estate-specific way of life, particularly through the nature of occupation (occupational or professional estates),
b) secondarily, through hereditary charisma, via successful prestige claims based on estate-specific descent (birth estates),
c) through the estate-specific appropriation of political or hierocratic lordships as monopolies (political or hierocratic estates).
The development of birth-based estates is regularly a form of (hereditary) appropriation of privileges by an association or qualified individuals. Any fixed appropriation of opportunities, particularly [of] lordships [or occupational] opportunities, tends to lead to the formation of estates. Any estate formation tends to lead to the monopolistic appropriation of lordships and occupational opportunities.
While occupational classes grow on the soil of a market-oriented economy, estates arise and persist preferably on the soil of monopolistically led liturgical or feudal or estate-based patrimonial provision of associations.
»Estates« shall denote a society when the social stratification occurs preferably according to estates, »class-based«, when it occurs preferably according to classes. Of the »classes«, the »social« class is closest to the »estate«, while the »occupational class« is furthest away. Estates are often formed by property classes according to their focal point.
Every estate-based society is conventional, ordered by rules of conduct, thereby creating economically irrational consumption conditions and hindering free market formation through monopolistic appropriations and by excluding the free disposal of one's own earning capacity.
[Weber, Max (1864–1920): Economy and Society : Outline of Understanding Sociology. – 5th, revised ed. – Tübingen : Mohr, 1976. – p. 625 f.]
Varṇas are accordingly birth estates.

agni m. -- अग्नि : Fire, God Agni.

It stands after the formulation of a thought, wish, utterance, quote almost as quotation marks ("").
e.g. sādhavaḥ svargaṃ gacchantīti brāhmaṇā vadanti “Brahmanas say: ‘The righteous go to heaven’” = “Brahmanas say that the righteous go to heaven”.
In Sanskrit there is no indirect speech; formations with iti often need to be rendered in German as indirect speech.
... (quote) ... iti śrutiḥ = “thus the Veda”.
Often a verb of thinking is to be assumed after iti: “thinking: ‘...’ he does that”. Render idiomatically in German (e.g. “Because he is hungry, he goes...”).
evam एवम् : thus (adverbially, e.g., evaṃ jayati "thus he conquers").
na न : not
Negates individual words (stands immediately before them: na sādhuḥ "not a good one") or entire sentences (stands at the beginning or immediately before the verb).
putra m. पुत्र : son (In India it was necessary to beget a son who could perform the sacrifices for the ancestors.)
dharma m. धर्म : ("that which is firm," i.e.) right, law, custom, character.
Corresponds most closely to natural law/moral law. Everyone has their own duties (svadharma) according to varṇa and āśrama (stage of life).
adharma m. अधर्म : wrong (opposite of dharma).
iṣ 6 P (icchati) इष् इच्छति : to wish (iṣ-ccha-ti).

Lesson 12
budh 4 Ā (budhyate) / 1 U (bodhati), PPP buddha बुध् बुध्यते बोधति बुद्ध : to awaken, to awaken to knowledge, to recognize; PPP buddha 3 awakened, hence Buddha = "the Awakened" (not: the Enlightened)

muc 6 U (muñcati), PPP mukta मुच् मुञ्चति मुक्त : to release, to let go, to free; to liberate from the cycle of rebirths (saṃsāra m.) = to redeem
sic 6 U (siñcati), PPP sikta सिच् सिञ्चति सिक्त : to sprinkle

Lección 13
Aprenda las siguientes palabras:
eva एव : enfatiza la palabra precedente
asura m. असुर : demonio
ASURA. 'Espiritual, divino.'
En las partes más antiguas del Ṛgveda este término se utiliza para el espíritu supremo, y es lo mismo que el Ahura de los zoroastrianos. En el sentido de 'dios' se aplicó a varios de los dioses principales, como Indra, Agni y Varuṇa. Posteriormente adquirió un significado completamente opuesto, y pasó a significar, como ahora, un demonio o enemigo de los dioses.
Esta palabra se encuentra con esta significación en las partes posteriores del Ṛgveda, particularmente en el último libro, y también en el Atharvaveda. Los Brāhmaṇas le atribuyen el mismo significado, y registran muchos conflictos entre los Asuras y los dioses. Según el Taittirīya Brāhmaṇa, el aliento (asu) de Prajapati cobró vida, y "con ese aliento creó a los Asuras". En otra parte de la misma obra se dice que Prajāpati "quedó embarazado. Creó a los Asuras de su abdomen". El Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa coincide con la primera afirmación, y afirma que "creó a los Asuras de su aliento inferior". El Taittirīya Āraṇyaka representa que Prajāpati creó dioses, hombres, padres, Gandharvas y Apsarases del agua, y que los Asuras, Rakṣasas y piśācas surgieron de las gotas que se derramaron. La afirmación de Manu es que fueron creados por los Prajāpatis.
Según el Viṣṇu Purāṇa, fueron producidos del vientre de Brahma (prajāpati). El relato del Vāyu Purāṇa es: "Los Asuras fueron producidos primero como hijos de su (de Prajāpati) vientre. Asu es declarado por el Brāhmaṇa para significar aliento. De él fueron producidos estos seres; de ahí que sean Asuras". La palabra ha sido utilizada durante mucho tiempo como nombre general para los enemigos de los dioses, incluyendo a los Daityas y Danavas y otros descendientes de Kaśyapa, pero no incluyendo a los Rakṣasas descendientes de Pulastya.
En este sentido se ha encontrado una derivación diferente para ella: la fuente ya no es asu, 'aliento,' sino que la inicial a se toma como el prefijo negativo, y asura significa 'no un dios;' de ahí, según algunos, surgió la palabra sura, comúnmente utilizada para 'un dios.'"

घृत n.: melted butter, ghee (घी / گھی / ঘী)
"Ghee is made by simmering unsalted butter in a large pot until all water has boiled off and protein has settled to the bottom. The cooked and clarified butter is then spooned off to avoid disturbing the milk solids on the bottom of the pan. Unlike butter, ghee can be stored for extended periods without refrigeration, provided it is kept in an airtight container to prevent oxidation and remains moisture-free. Texture, colour, or taste of ghee depends on the source of the milk from which the butter was made. In India, ghee is usually made with water buffalo's milk as it tends to be whiter than cow's milk."

अरण्य n.: wilderness, forest

ऋतु m.: periodic process, season, time period, menstruation, time when the woman is fertile and has a right to sexual intercourse with her husband.
Regarding ऋतु see Manu III, 45-48: according to this, ऋतु lasts 16 days (according to the alternative translation: 20 days) from the beginning of menstruation; sexual intercourse is forbidden during the first four days after the onset of bleeding (according to the alternative translation: during the first eight (4 + 4) days), as well as on the 11th (or 15th) and 13th (or 18th) day. On even days, the woman conceives sons; on odd days, daughters. For what follows, a ऋतु of 16 days in total (not the alternative translation) is assumed, as most indigenous commentaries do, which was thus the prevailing view.
Since ovulation occurs 14 days before the start of menstruation, this determination of the fertile period nearly "guarantees" fertility for a menstrual interval of 19 to 30 days. The forbidden days (11th and 13th) improve the likelihood of sexual intercourse on the 12th and 14th days, i.e., the probability of conception in a cycle of 28 days (the lifespan of sperm in the woman is approximately 3 days). These regulations can be seen as a positive application of the Knaus-Ogino method.
