EnglishVedic Reference
EnglishSa-jāta (‘born together’) is found once in the Rigveda, ^1 and
very often later.^2 The word must clearly mean a ‘relative, ’ and
then more widely a man of the same position or rank, but the
senses cannot be distinguished, so much do they merge into
each other. The Sajātas of a king are of course princes
^3 of an
ordinary man, Vaiśyas
^4 of a military man, Kṣatriyas. But
there is no clear reference to caste as in the later Sajāti^5 (‘man
of the same caste’). The disputes of Sajātas were notorious.^6
