That the sacred thread – Yajnopavita among the Hindus and Kushti among the Parsis – is the sign of the constellation Orion’s belt, underlines its supreme significance among ancient and modern Aryans.

A unique and definitive study of the subject, it casts interesting new light on obscure Aryan-Vedic culture. It...
