Ramakrishnan In Vedic cosmology Rta was the natural order of things.. the "rhythm" of nature. The Rt-vij was the person who sacrificed "in time", or in accordance with the established rhythm of nature, the proper times for the performance of yajna Rtu, a closely related word deriving from the same root as Rta (and very likely a cognate of english "rhythm") denotes the season (nature's annual cycle, the appointed times). Six seasons are named in classical literature: 1. varsha - the rains (comprising the months of Shravana and Bhadrapada, mid-July to midSept). Name derived from root vRs (to rain). The years were counted from one rainy season to another, the phrase "varshA varsham" (rains to rains/ year after year) is common in the south. In eastern Indic, this may be called barsha (not too sure). 2. sharada - the autumn (comprising months of Aswina and Kartika, mid-Sept to midNovember).

3. Haimanta - the snowy season/winter (from root hima, "snow") - comprising the months of Agrahayana (i.e Margashirsha) and Pausha, mid-Nov to mid-January 4. Shishira - the cool dewy (pre-spring) season, comprising the months of magha and phalguna (mid-January to mid-march) 5. Vasanta - the spring, comprising the months of Chaitra and Vaisakha (mid-March to midmay) 6. Grishma - the summer, comprising the months of Jyaishta and Ashada (mid-May to midJuly)

రవి వరరో <> rhythm, c.1557, from L. rhythmus "movement in time," from Gk. rhythmos "measured flow or movement, rhythm," related to rhein "to flow," from PIE base *sreu- "to flow" (see rheum). In M.L., rithmus was used for accentual" PIE word*Sreu (to flow) very much relates to SKt. Rtu or Rtu(season)? <> what is that root, according to you?

18 Apr

Ramakrishnan The PIE root is *arRtu and Rta are cognates to Avestan ratu, Latin artus, Germanic reeht, English right. The year is the time wheel of the cosmic order (rta) having 12 spokes (months) classified into the 6 rtus (seasons). In my understanding, I would connect the word vrata (law/rule/will/vow) with Rta. The lord of the cosmic order (and seasons) is varuNa (to a lesser extent mitra). In the mitanni (Sattiwaja's) treaty with Suppiluliuma, varuna's name is rightly invoked as the protector of vows/rta as uaruna, as it should have been in vedic (cf. Latin Uranus, Greek Ouranos)
