Vedic Sanskrit is Superior to Classical Sanskrit

An awesome commenter mentioned an excellent video that goes into Sanskrit from the Vedas, which is the oldest known Sanskrit that predates classical Sanskrit by up to 1000 years, or maybe longer:  

Vedic Sanskrit is said to be more mathematically powerful and more in tune with creation compared with classical Sanskrit.  Thus, I asked ChatGPT to give some empowering mantras from the Vedas.  Here's what it came up with:

🔥 1. Agnim īḷe purohitaṁ (Rig Veda 1.1.1)

अग्निम ईळे पुरोहितं
