--Indus Script documents the evidence of enterprising artisans and seafaring merchants yearning for Veda, knowledge systems
This is an addendum to:
What is पुरुषार्थ? It is any object of human pursuit. Lipi, mlecchita vikalpa is one such pursuit. I think श्रेणि guilds of artisans, merchants documented their contributions to the wealth of a nation. So did the kavi-s. Hence, the prayers to the divinity, the devatā ātmā of RV X.125 in Devī or Rāṣṭrī Sūktam and to.

Based on the evidence realized from a decipherment of over 8000 Indus Script inscriptions (See: Over 1500 monographs posted at
https://independent.academia.edu/SriniKalyanaraman), two conclusions emerge:
1. The earliest evidence of identification of अध्य्-ात्म, supreme ātman relates to 1) the worship of Lajjā Gaurī in the archaeological site of Padri, Gujarat (also known as Kerala-no-dhoro) and 2) prayer to devatā ātmā in RV X.125, the Devī or Rāṣṭrī Sūktam. Both exemplify veneration of sustained human effort to contribute to shared wealth of a nation. In the Rāṣṭrī Sūktam, artisans are venerated using the metaphors of Tvṣṭr̥, Marut-s, Vasu-s, Rudra-s which relate to creating the wealth of a nation.
2. The identification of अध्य्-ात्म, supreme ātman is matched by the efforts of seafaring merchants and artisans who have documented their contributions to the wealth of a nation in over 8000 Indus Script inscriptions which are rebus renderings of Meluhha expressions related to the metallurgical competence and lapidary expertise. The veneration of अध्य्-ात्म, supreme ātman is matched by the emphatic principle which can be summarised in the expression given by Basavanna (ಬಸವಣ್ಣ) who is a 12th-century philosopher, statesman,
Kannada poet in the Śiva-focussed Bhakti movement and a social reformer during the reign of the Kālācūri-dynasty king Bijjala I in Karnataka, India. His exhortation in Kannada language is: ಕಾಯಕವೇ ಕೈಲಾಸ kāyakave kailāsa. कैलास is a particular form of temple (वराह-मिहिर 's बृहत्-संहिता), the paradise of शिव and kāyaka is a Meluhha (Mleccha) speech form of कर्मक ifc. = कर्मन् , work , action &c (cf. अ-क्° , स-क्° , &c ). Thus, Basava's exhortation can be translated as 'Work is worship'.
The two cardinal principles of पुरुषार्थ identified are the quintessential world-view of the people of Sindhu-Sarasvati Civilization:
1) worship of अध्यात्म, supreme ātman 'life-principle' exemplified by the metaphor of the Cosmic Dancer and
2) श्रद्धा f.faith,trust,confidence,trustfulness,faithfulness,belief in (loc. or comp. ; श्रद्धया- √गम् , "to believe in" , with gen. DivyA7v. ),trust, confidence,loyalty (Faith or Faithfulnesses is often personified and in RV. x , 151 invoked as a deity.
That work is worship is enshrined in the word kole.l: kole.l 'smithy, forge' rebus: kole.l 'temple'. This explains why every one of the scores of circular workers' platforms evidenced by Harappa is a temple, a sacred space where work is performed unfolding the human potential for abhyudayam. अभ्य्-ुदय 'elevation , increase , prosperity , happiness , good result' Mn. iii , 254 R. &c. The semantics of this expression get summarised in the word dharma-dhamma, 'law, rule, duty' which is the defining life principle followed even to this day by the inheritors of the heritage of Sindhu-Sarasvati Civilization.
