  10.  @lordsmobile8769  Kindly refer to a translation by T.H. Griffith as your beginning point and then move further if want to uncover deeper layers of this hymn. Actually the language used in Rig Veda, Vedic Sanskrit, had developed and changed so much that till the time commentaries like Brahmanas and Aranyankas were written, every one was just groping in the dark with the language and giving a possible meaning of their own by reverse engineering the language spoken at the contemporary time. Till the time Panini was beginning to explain and codify Sanskrit and develop a standardized form from the language, Sanskrit & Prakrit, spoken in various parts of the subcontinent it was more than 1000 years of evolution for Vedic Sanskrit used in Rig Veda mandalas. Also society had changed tremendously for being a pastoral one to a settled agricultural type with surplus production which enabled second urbanisation of the northern subcontinent, remember the first urbanisation evidence was of Indus cities which decayed and vanished replaced by Vedic village type settlements with semi-nomadic lifestyle. In short it's very difficult to analyse what they actually mean in Rig Veda. Only glimpses and struggles with indigenous population and struggles between gods themselves are mentioned. Most of it is singing praising of one god, and their attributes, or the other gods. In some verses a reader of today may even question if the sages were substance abusers singing praises of soma — allegedly, botanists say, a drink made of ephedra primarily with other substances like milk and perhaps other herbs — and its centrality in stimulating their creative abilities. Don't get me wrong whatever it was they were doing at that point and whatever their belief system would have been: it is beautiful and enigmatic how they have composed the language of those hymns, the aesthetics of it, the metres, the sounds of it (which unfortunately have been lost today because of changes in enunciation and language evolution). Rig Veda is a pure collective and a genius effort which needs to be respected. Many of the practices and beliefs are still in practice today in the subcontinent. Like use and centrality of sacred Agni in wedding rituals in Hindu community. Caste system is not one of them and so is not myriad of other practices which claim Vedic descent.
