The subject of Vedic interpretation is highly technical requiring a specialized knowledge of not only the language of the Vedas but also the vast Vedic and post-Vedic literature together with a thorough grounding in the exegetical, grammatical, religious, cultural, philosophical, philological, lexicographical, mythological, and historical studies connected with them.<ref>Ram Gopal.

Although there are numerous apparent similarities between vedic language and classical sanskrit, the difference between them in respect to grammar, vocabulary, style, matter and spirit are very conspicuous. <ref name=":0">Ram Gopal.

== परिचयः || Introduction ==
When we presume that Samskrit is the language of Veda, we get into trouble in understanding the text. There is difficulty in understanding the meanings of words and sentences.<ref name=":1">Rayalu Viswanadha's [https://vedaravindamu.wordpress.com/2014/11/21/vedic-language/ Articles on Veda]</ref> Even those words which appear to be common to both the languages denote different meanings in the earlier Vedic language and the later sanskrit language.<ref name=":0" />
== शब्दः Words ==
For instance, the words svāhā (स्वाहा), svadhā (स्वधा), and vaṣaṭ (वषट्) are very common in Veda but their precise meaning is not known.

* स्वाहा॒ स्तोम॑स्य वर्धना॒ प्र क॑वी धी॒तिभि॑र्नरा | svāhā stomasya vardhanā pra kavī dhītibhir narā | (Rig.Veda. 8.8.5)
* स्वाहा॒ स्तोम॑स्य वर्धना॒ प्र क॑वी धी॒तिभि॑र्नरा | svāhā stomasya vardhanā pra kavī dhītibhir narā | (Rig.Veda. 8.8.5)
* यज्ञॊवै स्वाहाकारः | yajñovai svāhākāraḥ | [śatapatha br 3-1-3-27]
* यज्ञॊवै स्वाहाकारः | yajñovai svāhākāraḥ | (Shat. Brah. 3.1.3.27)
* vaṣaṭkāreṇa juhuyāt vaṣaṭkāreva | वषट्कारॆण जुहुयात् वषट्कारॆव [śatapatha br 7-2-3]
* वषट्कारॆण जुहुयात् वषट्कारॆव | vaṣaṭkāreṇa juhuyāt vaṣaṭkāreva (Shat. Brah. 7.2.3)
What these sentences mean can be fully understood, only when the exact meaning of the words svāhā (स्वाहा), svadhā (स्वधा), and vaṣaṭ (वषट्) are known.
