Here is a sketch of deduction of the Lagrange equations by means of the covariance argument. I believe that it is a suitable substitute for the archaic terminology that is employed in most textbooks. Assume we have ##\nu## particles with masses ##m_1,\ldots,m_\nu## and with position vectors $$\boldsymbol r_i=(x^{3(i-1)+1},x^{3(i-1)+2},x^{3(i-1)+3})\in\mathbb{R}^3,\quad i=1,\ldots,\nu.$$ Thus the position of the system is characterized by a vector...
