Do the Vedas allow killing of “old barren cows” (Vaśā) and bulls (Ukṣa) in rituals?

CLAIM: Vedas allow killing of “old barren cows” (Vaśā) and bulls (Ukṣa) in rituals.

TRUTH: This is a lie — born in colonial missionary labs and recycled by modern anti-Hindu puppets like D.N. Jha, who had neither the Sanskrit nor the honesty to interpret Vedas through Nirukta or Dhātupāṭha.

Let’s dismantle it, point by point.

1. Yajurveda starts with: “Pashūn Pāhi” (Yajurveda 1.1)
   • “First verse: “Protect the animals.” The Veda that defines ritual life begins by commanding animal protection, not slaughter. This alone destroys the premise.
2. Yajña = Adhwara (Non-violent)
   • Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa 1.1.2.6
     • Adhwara = that in which no killing occurs
     • Dhvara = violence; a- = negation
   • By definition, Yajña cannot involve killing. Claiming so is like hating your own mother because you believe you fell from sky like Mr Bean— utterly ridiculous.
3. Ukṣa ≠ Bull for sacrifice
   • Even Monier Williams — missionary scholar appointed to the Boden Chair (created to convert Hindus) — defined Ukṣa as:
     • Rain cloud
     • Soma herb
     • Potency or virility
   • Nirukta confirms Ukṣa refers to rain and generative force, not an animal.
   • Even with a conversion agenda, Monier Williams couldn’t push this lie. But today’s “secular scholars” go lower than colonial era missionaries.
4. Vaśā ≠ Barren Cow
   • Atharvaveda 10.10.4: Vaśā is linked with Sahasradhārā — a thousand nourishing streams.
     • A “barren cow” producing endless nourishment? Absurd.
   • Atharvaveda 10.190: Vaśī = divine controlling power, recited daily in Sandhyā.
     • Are Hindus chanting “barren cow” every day?
   • Atharvaveda 20.103.15: Vaśā = fertile land or wife with children — clear symbol of abundance, not sterility.
   • Monier Williams also defines Vaśā as a medicinal herb, not an animal.
   • Nirukta lists vaś as control, regulation, integration — not barren cow.
   • This is not a mistranslation. It is a deliberate distortion.
5. Nirukta is the Vedānga dedicated to Vedic word decoding.
   • Nirukta:
     • Vaś means control, not animal.
     • Ukṣa = cloud/rain/herb, not bull.
   • Yāska strictly warns against inserting meanings not grounded in root logic.
6. Even Monier Williams Didn’t Dare Go This Far
   • Let’s be clear: Monier Williams held the Boden Chair, created specifically to aid conversion of Hindus. In his own dictionary preface, he states this objective openly. Yet even he never defined:
     • Vaśā necessarily as a barren cow
     • Ukṣa necessarily as a bull to be killed
   • So when today’s anti-Hindu crusaders stretch Vedic terms further than missionaries, one must ask:
     • Is this ignorance? Or is this anti-national agenda?
   • And now — the desperation

Once @Grok surrendered and admitted: link1 and link2

• “There is no beef in Vedas,” these same people panicked and shifted to:
  • “Maybe bulls?”
  • “Maybe barren cows?”
• Why this frantic need to prove some killing — any killing — as long as it stains Hinduism?
• Is it blind ego that can’t bow to Satya? Or is it a paid agenda to attack Sanātan Dharma again and again — no matter how absurd the lies become? Because this isn’t scholarship. It’s propaganda — wrapped in Sanskrit.
• The Vedas are clear. Nirukta is clear. Even AI surrendered. But these minds? Still fighting — not to find truth, but to protect their hate.

So I ask: What’s stopping you from surrendering to Satya? Your ignorance? Your ego? Or your intent?

Sanātan Dharma doesn’t just survive lies. It shatters them.
