Word List (Complete Overview)

All new words from the course in the order of their introduction, with thematic explanations.

Lesson 2

deva m. -- देव : Celestial being, god; prince, king.

īśvara m. -- ईश्वर : Lord, ruler, god (monotheistic).

brāhmaṇa m. -- ब्राह्मण : Brāhmaṇa (priestly class).

kṣatriya m. -- क्षत्रिय : Kṣatriya (warrior and ruling class).

vaiśya m. -- वैश्य : Vaiśya (merchant and agricultural class).

śūdra m. -- शूद्र : Śūdra (service class).

According to classical theory (e.g., Manusmṛti I, 88-91), the duties are distributed as follows:

of the Brāhmaṇas
study of the Vedas
teaching
sacrifice for oneself
sacrifice for others
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
cattle rearing
agriculture
trade
money lending
sacrificing for oneself
giving gifts (to Brāhmaṇas)
sacrificing for oneself
study of the Vedas
of the Śūdras
serving the three upper classes

dvija m. -- द्विज : "Twice-born" (initiates of the upper three classes: Brāhmaṇa, Kṣatriya, Vaiśya).

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:

Labeling:
Priestly estate (~Brāhmaṇa): Tu supplex ora = You pray pleadingly!
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 willed – estates, Christ reigns on his throne.

Max Weber (1864–1920) defines estate as follows:

»Estate« shall mean 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 type of profession (way-of-life 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.

Dok se u društvu tržišne ekonomije rastu stjecajne klase, staleži nastaju i postoje prvenstveno na tlu monopolističko-liturgijskog ili feudalnog ili staleško-patrimonijalnog pokrivanja potreba udruženja.

»Staleški« društvo treba da se zove ako se društvena podjela prvenstveno vrši po staležima, »klasno«, ako se vrši prvenstveno po klasama. Od »klasa« »staležu« je najbliža »socijalna« klasa, a najudaljenija »stjecajna« klasa. Staleži se često formiraju prema svom središtu kroz posjedničke klase.

Svako staleško društvo je konvencionalno, uređeno pravilima životnog vodstva, stvara stoga ekonomski iracionalne uvjete potrošnje i na ovaj način kroz monopolističke apropriacije i kroz isključenje slobodnog raspolaganja sopstvenom stjecajnošću otežava slobodno formiranje tržišta.

Learn the following words:

iti इति : thus
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 : 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).

praśna m. प्रश्न : question (suffix -na as in yaj-ña)

iṣ 6 P इष् : to wish

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)

dah 1 P (dahati), PPP dagdha दह् दहति दग्ध : to burn (something)
sah 1 Ā (sahate), PPP soḍha सह् sahate soḍha : to overcome, to endure, to bear patiently = to forgive

U najstarijim dijelovima Ṛgvede ovaj se termin koristi za vrhovnog duha i isti je kao Ahura kod Zoroastrijanaca. U smislu 'boga' primjenjivao se na nekoliko glavnih božanstava, kao što su Indra, Agni i Varuṇa. Kasnije je steklo potpuno suprotan značenje i počelo označavati, kao sada, demona ili neprijatelja bogova.

Riječ se nalazi s tim značenjem u kasnijim dijelovima Ṛgvede, posebno u posljednjoj knjizi, a također i u Atharvavedi. Brāhmaṇas pridaju joj isto značenje i bilježe mnoge sukobe između Asura i bogova. Prema Taittirīya Brāhmaṇi, dah (asu) Prajapatija oživio je i "tim dahom stvorio sam Asure." U drugom dijelu istog djela kaže se da je Prajāpati "postao trudan. Stvorio je Asure iz svog trbuha." Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa slaže se s prethodnom izjavom i navodi da je "stvorio Asure iz svog donjeg daha." Taittirīya Āraṇyaka predstavlja da je Prajāpati stvorio bogove, ljude, očeve, Gandharve i Apsarase iz vode, a da su Asure, Rakṣase i piśāce proizašli iz kapi koje su se prosule. Manuova tvrdnja je da su ih stvorili Prajāpatiji.

Prema Viṣṇu Purāṇi, proizvedeni su iz bedra Brahma (prajāpati). Izvještaj Vāyu Purāṇe glasi: "Asure su prvi put proizvedeni kao sinovi iz njegovog (Prajāpati) bedra. Asu Brāhmaṇa proglašava da znači dah. Od njega su ova bića proizvedena; stoga su Asure." Riječ se dugo koristi kao opći naziv za neprijatelje bogova, uključujući Daitye i Danave te druge potomke Kaśyape, ali ne i Rakṣase koji potječu od Pulastyje.

U ovom smislu pronađena je drugačija derivacija za nju: izvor više nije asu, 'dah', već se početno a uzima kao negativni prefiks, a asura znači 'nije bog'; stoga je, prema nekima, nastala riječ sura, koja se obično koristi za 'boga.'"

घृत n.: Schmelzbutter, 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."

अजिन n.: antelope skin, esp. the skin of the black antelope (blackbuck : Antilope cervicapra L. ). Originally occurred throughout the Indian subcontinent from Punjab and Sind to Bengal and from Nepal to Kanyakumari (Cape Comorin) (Tamil: கன்னியாகுமரி) See:

Walker's mammals of the world / Ronald M. Nowak. -- 6th ed. -- Baltimore [etc.] : Johns Hopkins Univ. Pr., 1999. -- 2 vols. -- ISBN 0-8018-5789-9. -- Vol. 2. -- pp. 1193f.

अतिथि m.: guest

अभ्यन्तर 3: located inside, nearest; m. the closest relative, native

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 on the first four days after the onset of bleeding (according to the alternative translation: on 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 the following, a ऋतु of 16 days in total (not the alternative translation) is assumed, as most indigenous commentaries do, and which thus was 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 probability of sexual intercourse on the 12th and 14th day, i.e., the probability of conception in a cycle of 28 days (the lifespan of sperm in the woman is approx. 3 days). These regulations are as it were a positive application of Knaus-Ogino.
