Rath or Rathasharma ((オリヤー語:ରଥ, ରଥଶର୍ମା), (サンスクリット:रथ, रथशर्मा)) are Utkala Brahmins having Atreya or Krishnatreya gotra. The surname in ancient days were given according to gotra and the speciality of the job done by Brahmin scholars. They especially specialise the Vikriti Paatha of Shukla Yajurveda and Rigveda which is ''Ratha Patha''. The Veda can be recited in eleven different ways among which three are Prakruti and remaining seven are Vikruti. These are Samhita (Richa), Pada, Krama (3 Prakruti) and Jataa, Rekha, Maala, Dhwaja, Shikha, Danda, Ratha and Ghana (Vikrutis). So the surname holders once mastered the Ratha tradition of chanting Veda. Sometimes they are called Rathatreya(रथात्रेय). ==Etymology== "Rath" is a word from the Sanskrit language meaning: # (root. ṛ) "goer", a chariot or vehicle; any equipage or carriage ( as also applied to the Brahmin as being the vehicles of the gods) # a warrior, hero or champion 〔Mahābharata〕 # (root. ram) pleasure, joy, delight (eg.mano-ratha) affection, loving 〔Monier-Williams Dictionary〕 The three definitions are different and should not be confused with Rathee spelt with the hard 'T' as Raṭha (रठ), Rāṭhī(राठी) or Rāṭhore (राठोर). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rath (Odia surname)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
