rya Samj Veda translation

Breathe

Hostis humani generis
Anyone know where one can buy the Ārya Samāj translation of the Vedas, or read online? In English, of course.

I've only read bits of it. It seems.. interesting.
 
Too bad there's none... But how bad really is the Griffith's translation anyways?

I can only imagine that in the Arya Samaj translation, the so called 'gods' of the Rig-Veda would be completely changed to reflect different attributes of Ishvara than proper names themselves.

I think it seems to be a pretty poor translation. It's not one I'd choose to read if I had the choice. "My dad's a leech" is the translation for "My father is a physician". Leech? That's not only weird and a little confusing, but it's out of date for modern times, lol.

Yeah, that's why I want to read it. See how it differs. :D
Some Ārya Samāj groups seem to hint at it being significantly different, so I'd like to see.

Yeah, it's in Hindi (I think).
Apparently you can buy an Ārya Samāj English Vedic translation, but it's a bit costly.
