'Dasa' can be seen within the ancient language of Sanskrit as the word for the number 'ten' as seen within 'Dasaratha' a famous name from the Ramayana whose meaning is one whose chariot ( ratha ) has the ability to travel within the ten ( dasa ) directions.

 

According to many of the followers of Sanskrit and the Vedic culture it belongs to, the word 'dasa' journeys to the lands of Europe where it corrupts into 'deka' a word from Greece meaning 'ten' and from this comes the words 'december' 'decimal' 'decathlon' 'decade' and also the number 'ten'.

 

As evidence for this journey where 'dasa' is transformed into 'deka' we have examples which can be seen within the languages of Europe where the Sanskrit 'S' is transformed into the Greek 'K' which is then transformed into the Latin 'C' and these examples are as follows.

 

 

'Siras' is a word from Sanskrit meaning the 'head' the 'skull' and this becomes 'kara' a word from Greece meaning 'head' which then becomes 'cerebrum' and 'cerebral' words from Latin meaning the 'brain' hence we go from the Sanskrit 'S' to the Greek 'K' to the Latin 'C'.

 

'Svan' is a word from Sanskrit whose meaning is 'dog' and this becomes 'kyon' a word from Greece meaning 'dog' which then becomes 'canis' and 'canine' words from Latin meaning 'dog' as we continue to go from the Sanskrit 'S' to the Greek 'K' to the Latin 'C'.

 

'Sankha' is a word from the language of Sanskrit whose meaning is 'conch shell' and 'sea shell' and this becomes 'konkhe' a word from Greece meaning 'sea shell' which then becomes 'conch' a word from Latin meaning 'sea shell' as we go from the Sanskrit 'S' to the Greek 'K' to the Latin 'C'.

 

 

'Asayana' is a word from Sanskrit meaning that which 'surrounds' that which 'lies around' and this becomes 'okeanos' a word from Greece meaning the 'ocean' which then becomes 'oceanus' a word from Latin meaning the 'ocean' as we go from the Sanskrit 'S' to the Greek 'K' to the Latin 'C'.

 

'Sas' and 'sastra' are words from the language of Sanskrit meaning 'order' and this becomes 'kosmos' a word from Greece meaning 'order' which then becomes 'cosmos' a word from Latin meaning 'order' as we once again go from the Sanskrit 'S' to the Greek 'K' to the Latin 'C'.

 

'Sru' is a word from Sanskrit whose meaning is to 'hear' and this becomes 'klyo' and 'kleo' words from Greece meaning to 'hear' to 'glorify' which then becomes 'cluo' a word from Latin whose meaning is to 'hear oneself being spoken of' as we continue to go from the Sanskrit 'S' to the Greek 'K' to the Latin 'C'.

 

 

As we pause for a moment lets examine the previously mentioned 'sru' a word from the language of Sanskrit whose meaning is to 'hear' and the question would be whether this 'sru' is a corruption of the Greek 'kleo' meaning to 'hear' and the Latin 'cluo' meaning to 'hear' so lets take a look at this 'sru'.

 

'Sru' is composed of 'Ru' a root from the language of Sanskrit whose meaning is 'sound' an appropriate root for a word which is expressing the process of 'hearing' and attached to this root is the letter 'S' which expresses 'joining' 'connection' 'union' as in that which connects ( s ) to sound ( ru ) as in to 'hear' hence 'sru' is a complete unit whose letter 'S' has not corrupted from a Greek 'K' or Latin 'C'.

 

'Sru' is also no ordinary word as it forms 'sruti' a category of scriptures which are said to have been 'heard' as in 'divine revelation' and a word which goes back in recorded history at least 3000 years and traditional history at least 6000 years and so when does this corruption happen ? certainly not over the last 3000 years and according to the words etymology, not at all.

 

 

Another word which has been mentioned is 'sankha' a word from the language of Sanskrit whose meaning is 'shell' and 'conch shell' and those who oppose this as a source word will argue that it is simply a corruption of the cognate 'konkhe' and 'conch' words from Greek and Latin whose meanings are 'seashell'.

 

'Sankha' possesses a major component in the form of 'kha' whose meaning is 'space' 'hollow' 'cavity' which is a perfect description of the 'sea shell' and the 'san' whose meaning is 'union' 'joining' 'equal' 'connection' is said to give us the meaning of that which is connected ( san ) to space ( kha ) or that which is similar ( san ) to an empty space ( kha ) hence again the ancient grammarians have formed a complete unit free from any corruptive element such as a Greek 'K' or a Latin 'C'.

 

And once again this word 'sankha' is no ordinary word as it goes back in time some 5000 years to the speaking of the Gita which describes the blowing of the conch shells in chapter one and 6000 years to the Rig Veda as it describes the conch shells of both Visnu and Surya so it has certainly not corrupted within the last 3000 years and once again its perfect etymology informs us that it has not corrupted at all and its letter 'S' has not come from a Greek 'K' or a Latin 'C'.

 

 

We also possess 'svan' a word from the language of Sanskrit whose meaning is 'dog' and according to the 19th century colonialists the source of this word is 'kwon' a word from a supposed language which no longer exists and of course everyone nods sagely and accepts such speculations as gospel.

 

'Svan' however is not a corrupted word, its formed of 'van' and 'vana' whose meaning is 'forest' and as we saw previously the 'S' expresses 'union' 'joining' 'connection' hence its meaning is that which is bound ( s ) to the forest ( vana ) a reference to ancient times when dogs were not so domesticated.

 

And so once again we see the process of the Sanskrit 'S' becoming a Greek 'K' which becomes a Latin 'C' as we go from 'svan' to 'kyon' to 'canine' and as with all the other examples given we find that 'svan' is a complete unit whose etymology reveals its meaning according to the system which created it which is the ancient language of Sanskrit, free from any interference of invented and no longer existing languages.

 

 

“We Europeans, 2,500 years later, and in a scientific age, still employ an alphabet which is not only inadequate to represent all the sounds of our language, but even preserve the random order which vowels and consonants are jumbled up as they were in the Greek adaptation of the primitive Semitic arrangement of 3,000 years ago“. Arthur A. Macdonell.

 

“The affinity between the Greek language and the old Parsee and Sanskrit is certain and essential. The use of cognate idioms prove that the nations who used them to have descended from the same stock. That the religion of the Greeks emanated from an Eastern shore no-one will deny. We must therefore suppose the religion, as well as the language of Greece to have been derived, in great part, largely from the east”. Dr Prichard - Physical History Of Man.“

 

“It is evident that nothing can have exceeded the carelessness with which the Greeks and after them the moderns, have rendered the words and letters of one language into another." Godfrey Higgins ( Anacalypsis ).
