Dayananda states in his "Summary of my
beliefs" (at No. 30) that:
"This country is called Aryavarta because it has been the abode of
the Aryas from the very dawn of Creation. It is bounded on the north by
the Himalayas, on the south by the Vindhyachala mountains, on the west by
the Attok (Indus), and on the east by the Brahmaputra. The land included
within these limits is Aryavarta and those that have been living in it
from times immemorial are also called Aryas."
No. 29 of Dayanand's "Summary" gives a very succinct definition
of Aryas:
"Aryas are men of exalted principle, and Dasyus those
who lead a life of wickedness and sin."
