The term ‘Gavishthi’ used in Rig veda is related to which of the following? can some explain this? it asked relation- it could be cows and war both. Vaguely framed.
the term for cows was- AGHANYA- something not to be killed GAVISHTHI- means desire to fight for cows– so it does not translate to cow, but is WAR for cows
overthinking does not pay. The term for war in the Rig Veda was gavishthi-as simple as that. wars were fought for wealth or something important and the most important wealth in rig vedic period was cows. so wars were fought for cows. in the ques “related to” means the translation or what the word was used for at that time which is war even if we are confused in 2 options(which is not the case here) we have to go with most appropriate option.

The term ‘Gavishthi’ used in Rig veda is related to which of the following?
can some explain this?
it asked relation- it could be cows and war both.
Vaguely framed.
the term for cows was- AGHANYA- something not to be killed
GAVISHTHI- means desire to fight for cows– so it does not translate to cow, but is WAR for cows
well it was asking in relation and not translation.
overthinking does not pay.
The term for war in the Rig Veda was gavishthi-as simple as that.
wars were fought for wealth or something important and the most important wealth in rig vedic period was cows. so wars were fought for cows.
in the ques “related to” means the translation or what the word was used for at that time which is war
even if we are confused in 2 options(which is not the case here) we have to go with most appropriate option.
corection one – related to” means the translation, never means that. ever
second- half ignorance or half knowledge do no fetch the marks.

Wishing for cows.

terms for war in the Rig Veda is gavishthi or search for cows
https://www.ekalawya.com/unit/the-cow/
Most wars were fought for cows.
hence, I agree the term might be for the war, but it asked in relation, and therfore not meaning.
therefore, relation could be of war and cows.
alright all the best..
