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 (10[1])Noble Truths” (10[1])and the name (-5[1])of a “Noble” Punjabi offshoot of the Brahmo Samaj. This term (10[1])was used as an endonym by a group of lighter-skinner migrants accused of “invading” (10[1])the Indus Valley (10[1])Civilization. For 10 points, give this Sanskrit self-designation for Indo-Iranians, later used to name a supposed “master race.” ■END■ (10[1])

ANSWER: arya [or ā́rya; or Aryan; or word forms such as Aryans or Aryanism; accept Arya Samaj; accept Indo-Aryans; accept Aryan invasion; accept Aryaman; reject “Ahriman”] (The yazata described in the first sentence is Airyaman.)
