It seems impossible to divide these forms (generally distributed to two different roots) from one another. The root has three well-marked stages of development: ṛj or ṛñj in RV., arj in Brāh., and arjaya in the later language. Compare also √ rāj probably a derivative from it. With it is related, further, the anomalously formed stem irajya (irajyáti -teetc. RV., and irajyú RV.), “direct, rule”.
