In Defence of Dharma

A person named Mohammed Tariq Faraz has posted this on Facebook and there he tries to defame Vedas, I will answer him in this thread.
First he alleges that in Atharva Veda 4.11.1 it is written that Earth is supported by Bulls, then he claims that Vrishabh means Bull and not Sun.
But this proves he is stupid because word Vrishabh is NOT even mentioned in Mantra, it is mentioned in hindi translation, this level of stupidity shows they are just copy pasting without reading.
Now onto his second claim that Vrishabha means only Bull and not Sun or anything else

This clearly shows he has no knowledge of Vedas or Vedic sanskrit, these are the type of people who try to translate Vedas with help of Hindi to english dictionary.
Word Vrishabha is a Yaugika term made from word root (वृष सेचने) it means "one who emits", attaching screenshots, as Sun emits light sun is called Vrishabha.
Vrishabha is also used for "Manly, Best, Powerful, Bull, Ishwar etc". So it is clear that their Hindi to english google translation of word Vrishabh is not adequate to understand Vedas.
Next he claims it is mentioned in Atharva Veda 4.5.1 and Rigveda 7.55.7 that Vrishabha has a thousand horns and rises from sea.
This too is wrong, Horns are not even mentioned there. The word mentioned there is श्रृङ्ग which means projection from surface, it refers to sunlight not horns, and sea is not even mentioned there.
Next claim about Atharvaveda is also based upon wrong translation, that mantra uses Alankara and it says Humans should observe movement of sun and moon and calculate Seasons etc.
Last "Evidence" from Kausitaki Brahman clearly shows he has never even read it for himself, based on dubious translations he found somewhere online, Nothing as claimed is mentioned there.
So in the end, all these allegations and even more out there are all based upon translations by those who don't even know what Vedic sanskrit is.
