    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. [Footnote] 1) Vedische Studien, 3, 96. [Footnote] 2) St. Petersburg Dictionary, s.v. [Footnote] 3) Altindisches Leben, 214, 215. [Footnote] 4) xiv. 30; xx. 17; xxiii. 21; xxvi. 2.

    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.’
