'Rta' is a word which is found within the ancient language of Sanskrit and can be seen to be at least 6000 years old as its mentioned over 450 times within the 'Rig Veda' hence its impotance within the ancient Vedic culture of India.

 

Rig Veda describes how 'Rta' whose meaning is 'righteousness' and 'Satya' whose meaning is 'truth' are born from the fires of austerity and how the god of the sun 'Surya' travels upon the two wheels of 'Rta' and 'Satya'.

 

'Rta' whose meaning is 'truth' and 'righteousness' enters the ancient lands of Iran where 'Rta' becomes 'Arta' meaning 'truth' and 'righteousness' and some 2500 years ago this could be seen within the names of Kings and Queens and warriors throughout this Aryan kingdom.

'Rta' was observed amongst the Ksatriya race as warriors could only fight warriors, no unarmed warrior could be attacked nor could one fleeing the battlefield be killed and such principles were observed far and wide as seen within the Aryan lands of Iran where 'Rta' meaning 'truth' becomes 'Arta' meaning 'truth' and some 2500 years ago this formed many of their names.

”The Bactrian ( Persian ) is so greatly related to the old Indian language and in particular that of the Vedas that without exageration it can be called a dialect thereof". Professor H. Kern - About the word Zarathustra.

 

"Slowly and gradually it dawned upon them that the language of the Gatha and Zendavesta has very great kinship with the Sanskrta language. When the grammar of Panini, Katyayana and Patanjali was applied then the Gathas and Zendavesta came to be understood by the Westerners. The lesson from this amazing fact is clear that once the Iranians of the Gatha and Zendavesta and the Indo-Aryans of the Vedas formed one single race, speaking language akin to Samskrta." -  A Comparative Study of Religions By Y. Masih
