Question
Sanskrit word or English-derived terms required. With a one-syllable suffix, this Sanskrit term names an aditya of hospitality whose cognate yazata’s “ishya” is one of the four Gathic Avestan mantras; an early Vedic triad consists of Mitra, Varuna, and that god whose name combines this term with “-man.” People described by this adjective were traditionally distinguished from those called “dasa” or “mleccha.” The Shuddhi proselytization movement was launched by a (*) reform movement described by this adjective and founded by Dayananda Saraswati. This Sanskrit term is often translated as “Noble,” as in the “Four Noble Truths” and the name of a “Noble” Punjabi offshoot of the Brahmo Samaj. This term was used as an endonym by a group of lighter-skinner migrants accused of “invading” the Indus Valley Civilization. For 10 points, give this Sanskrit self-designation for Indo-Iranians, later used to name a supposed “master race.” ■END■
