The concept of Ṛṇa as enshrined in the Vedas, which of the following is not a part of it ?
Answer: D
The one not part of the Vedic concept is Manushya Ṛṇa.
The Vedic texts (for example the Taittirīya Saṃhitā) say every person is born with three debts: to the gods (deva ṛṇa), repaid by sacrifice; to the sages (ṛṣi ṛṇa), repaid by Vedic study; and to the ancestors (pitṛ ṛṇa), repaid by begetting offspring.
A debt to humanity (manuṣya ṛṇa), repaid by hospitality, appears in later lists of five, but it is not one of the three Vedic ṛṇas.
