Detailed explanation-1: -Nirukta means explanation or interpretation. It is related to one of the six ancient Vedangas. Nirukta mainly works on Etymology and deals with the correct interpretation of Sanskrit words in the Vedas.
Detailed explanation-2: -Definition-What does Nirukta mean? Nirukta is a Sanskrit word that means “explained” or “interpreted.” It is one of the six auxiliary disciplines known as the Vedangas, which support the study of the Vedas and other Hindu scriptures.
Detailed explanation-3: -Nirukta is very important for several reasons. Nirukta is the oldest attempt to understand the true meaning of words, thereby concentrating on etymology. And as we already discussed without understanding true etymology, it would have been nearly impossible to understand the verses and hymns of the Vedas.
