________________ ( 155 ) barrians from a state of nomadism with a social structure based on the predominance of limited noble class who control the means which determine military success : the horse and the chariot. They were the leaders of an ever-armed homogeneous organised society who had unity of purpose in military activities. The tribal will and power for victory was the main guiding force on battlefields. The historical success of the Brahmāryans in Bhārata also indicate the same Gamic features which we have earlier discussed in detail. The whole of Rgveda Brahmaryan stands testimony to this Aryan social structure. Military Indra, Bșhaspati, Brahmaņspati, Maruts and Activities several other Ganapatis preside over the Devas and cominon masses. Their military success has been amply and repeatedly sung in Rgveda. Ķgveda is the only source which provides us with literary evidence regarding the most ancient Aryan society with singularly persisted also amongst the Brahmāryans till their final military victory in Dāsrājña War circa 1150 B.C. This discloses a remarkable similarity of military activities based on a similar social pattern from Greece to Bhārata.' The sons of Aryans in this vast region of the earth display similar traits. They all alike annihilate the ancient cultures and civilizations definitely superier to their own on the strength of efficient tribal military organisation based on Gaņa social system. Yajña was their tribal military activity. Aryan victory was a sheer Yajñic military conquest. References 1.
