Sanskrit verse ^[5] Rigveda 10:58:3 Hindi – WisdomLib:

यत्ते॒ भूमिं॒ चतु॑र्भृष्टिं॒ मनो॑ ज॒गाम॑ दूर॒कम् । तत्त॒ आ व॑र्तयामसी॒ह क्षया॑य जी॒वसे॑ ॥ (Original)

यत्ते भूमिं चतुर्भृष्टिं मनो जगाम दूरकम् । तत्त आ वर्तयामसीह क्षयाय जीवसे ॥ (Plaintext)

yat te bhūmiṃ caturbhṛṣṭim mano jagāma dūrakam | tat ta ā vartayāmasīha kṣayāya jīvase || (Pronunciation)

The hideout of Arya Samaj

Arya Samaj is famous for translation forgery in this field. According to their claim and fictional translation, there is no such thing as a “four-cornered”. But the Sanskrit dictionary speaks differently.

We will see the translation of the word ‘Chaturbhrishtin’ or ‘Chaturbhrishti’ in that verse.

Monier-Williams Sanskrit-English Dictionary ^[6] चतुर्भृष्टिं – Sanskrit-English Dictionary (Published 1899), Sir Monier Monier-Williams – TransLiteral Foundations ^[7]WisdomLib ^[8] Sanskritdictionary. com ^[9] learnsanskrit.cc ^[10] Sansrit.inria.fr ,

In Sanskrit Kosha too, ‘Chaturbhrishti’ means ‘Four-cornered’. ^[11] KST – Sanskrit Kosha

Now, we will see separately,

‘Catur’ means 4/four – no debate on it.

What does the word ‘Bhrsti’ mean?^[12]WisdomLib

See, the ‘corner’ is like a ‘spike’, or ‘top of a mountain’…

If this dictionary is claimed as wrong, it can be shown from other books, the world is four-cornered. For example , the earth is four-cornered like a brick – Satapatha Brahmana
