( 245 ) Brahma that they would be able to enlarge the number of their Dāsas later to be downgraded as Sudras. The highest form of the Aryan Social organisation, the Brahma, is the Universal Tribal Collective.
The institution of Basileia in Greece approaches the Řgvedic Institution of Brahma. Basileja was the highest
Greek collective organisation of the primitive
Basileia Greekāryans. The Europāryan (Indo-European) parallel to the word Brahma is the word "Bhrgh' in the sense of 'high'.16 Only a linguist may help us in giving us a common word for this Āryan highest tribal collective but it is quite certain that the Greekāryans and the Brahmãryans, in their parallel heroic ages, developed these two institutions strikingly similar to each other. The kinship of the words Bhrgh, Basileia and Brahma cannot be lightly laid aside. They must have some sister relationship with each other having their origin from the same mother.
Basileia was the owner of all the wealth. They (the members of Basileia) were living in walled cities and were becoming wealthy through field agriculture, manufacturing industries, and flocks and herds. It was a period of incessant military strife for the possession of the most desirable areas. The economic, social and military activities of Basileja were tribal. The activities of Brahma were also of the same character. The Āryan people in Greece and Bhārata possessed universal tribal societies when they established themselves firmly over the original inhabitants of the lands. The Brahma is, thus, the Universal Tribal Collective of the Aryans.
