Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
The Rigveda categorises priests, also known as Brahmins and "rajas", into two categories depending on their work, responsibilities, and positions. The priests carried out many rites when the "rajas" held power. The Rajas were without capital cities, palaces, armies, and the power to impose taxes. Only two words could describe the town: "Jana" and "Vish." The authors of the hymn referred to themselves as "Aryas," but they identified their rivals as "Dasas" or "Dasyus." Finally reduced to slavery, the "dasas" were viewed as the owners' property.
