aryá, einmal ({297,7}) ariá, a., zustrebend, zugethan [siehe arí], und zwar theils von der Gesinnung der Götter gegen die Menschen, theils von der der Menschen gegen die Götter. Also 1) gütig, hold, von Göttern, göttlichen Wesen und den die Sänger beschenkenden Opfergebern; 2) treu, ergeben, fromm (von der Gesinnung gegen die Götter); 3) fromm (von dem Gesange). Da der Nom. s. aryás mit dem G. s., N. und A. pl. von arí identisch ist, so ist an manchen Stellen * die Auslegung zweifelhaft.

Arya. — This word is not common in the older literature, in places where the quantity of the first vowel is fixed as short, except in a mere adjectival sense. Geldner,1 indeed, contends that no other sense is anywhere needed; but Roth2 and Zimmer3 agree in thinking that in several passages of the Vājasaneyi Saṃhitā4 the word has the same sense as Ārya, and this appears probable. Whether it is necessary to ascribe this sense to the word in the compound arya-patnī5 applied to the waters set free by Indra, is more doubtful. The commentator, Mahīdhara,6 suggests that the word means a Vaiśya, not an Ārya generally. This view is supported by the explanation in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa7 of one of the passages of the Vājasaneyi Saṃhitā.8 But though the use of Arya to denote a Vaiśya became common later, it is not clear that it was original.

Cf. also Kāṭhaka Saṃhitā, xxxviii. 5; Taittirīya Saṃhitā, vii. 4, 19, 3. In Atharvaveda, xix. 32, 8, an analogous form occurs, as contrasted with brāh-maṇa, rājanya, and śūdra; but even there Whitney renders it as ‘Āryan.’ Cf. xix. 62, 1; Rv. viii. 94, 3; Pischel, Zeitschrift der Deutschen MorgenländischenGesellschaft, 40, 125.
