So you prefer to remain in ignorance as to where the circle of 360 days/degrees originated. That is your business, but why bother replying to this thread then? You waste everyone's time and deter those who might actually have a genuine interest.

No, I do not agree with you. I said your approach is fruitless. In other words unproductive, pointless. As the OP alluded in his opening post, modern trigonometry (thinking in terms of angular metrics) is a relatively recent invention, which most historians trace to Hellenistic Greece. Why would you go looking for it in a text (RV) which was composed some 4000-5000 years prior? The use of a sexagesimal number system by the Sumerians ca. 3000BC and Babylonians ca. 2000BC does not prove that they invented modern trigonometry, nor that they thought in terms of 'angular metrics' in the same way that you do.
The historical record indicates that modern trigonometry (angular metrics) emerged during the period of Indian influence upon Greek culture in the centuries following Alexander the Great. There are independent records in Greece and in India (Aryabhata and his forebears). This has little to do with either Sumeria or Veda. The circle of 360 days/degrees is in evidence in the Vedic hymns, which originated at least 4000 years prior to the development of 'angular metrics'.
