It seems impossible to divide these forms (generally distributed to two different roots) from one another. The root has three well-marked stages of develoment: fj or fYj in Rv., arj in Brah., and arjaya in the later languge. Compare also √rAj, probably a derivative from it. With it is related, further, the anomalously formed stem irajya (irajy/ati -te etc. RV., and irajy/u RV.), 'direct, rule'.
