The Aryan Indus Script
Unfolding Hitherto Unknown Secrets Of The Indus Script
And Approaching The Final Decipherment .
Vijayabhaarati Acknowledgements This work is a sequel to Bharata- the language of the Harappans; The deciphered Indus Harappan(Indo-Anatolian) Inscriptions ;The writing in the Indus script;Indus script- its origin,contents and final evolution etc. Through each work we have examined the possibilities of a satisfactory decipherment and each work has served to lead us closer to the final decipherment .And with great satisfaction we can now read several inscriptions ,the way the Harappans read it ! I am greatly indebted to the works of many scholars and researchers in this field without which this article would not have been possible.The sources for this work are shown in the reference list. I gratefully acknowledge my indebtedness to them and express my thankfulness to those authors and their publishers whose articles I have used in this work either in whole or in part.

1 A brief summary of the previous works : In Bharata the language of the Harappans we saw that the Harappan language is Bharata(bhaasha-language,bhadra- king,patra-bird-word-god=sasa-bda=sound-vacas- wordasva-bull/elephant/sun/kingsapta- sevensaptasvara-seven notessvar=suura- sun,sound)=veda /deva/devi/rava/ravi from which India got the name Bhaarata. Bhaasha is bhaata(usha-dawn- bhaasa-light,paada-quarter cf. the cross/swastika).The asva medha(uksha-ahas-usha-mesha=dawn-Ariesthe spring equinox-vaisaakha-vishu-pascha-passover) played a great role in their seasonal sacrificial service(corresponding to the Easter/passover of the Christians and Jews). There were kings with the name Bharata , but the language is the real king. Later we identified the vedic soma with rice (anna)and rice wine(madhu) though soma has implications of fire,wind,sky,moon,gold,water, lemon, areca etc. in The decoded Indus Harappan Scripts And The True Vedic Soma. Soma sacrifice is luna(noon-moon-soma-sky) sacrifice when the sun is at noon and at the winter solstice(seasonal sun at noon corres ponding to the Pongal-anna-rice festival of the Tamils,Christmas of the Christians etc. ). We attempted at tentative partial decipherments of the IVC seals in The deciphered Indo-Anatolian inscriptions, The writing in the Indus script etc. We have also shown that the modern alphabets evolved from the Indo Anatolian alphabets especially as the Greek sigma is the IVC simha itself in the work The Indus script-its origin readings and final evolution. Earlier scholars and researchers got confused by the Dravidian hypothesis(Dr. Parpola et al), Indus non script theory ( S.Farmer et al ) etc. The vedic asva (uksha-bull,arka-avasa-yahva-Yahve-the sun/king/god) was mistook as the domestic horse and the absence(or rare presence ) of the domestic horse bones in earlier layers of IVC was sited as evidence for the absence of vedic Aryans in the IVC prior to 1700 B.C by the supporters of the Dravidian IVC hypothesis. They ignored the evidences from the writing in the seals,the vedic fire altars etc.The second group proclaimed the Harappans to be non literate ! But we have shown that the vedic asva(arka-avasa- u-kshabull/kingbhadrabhadraasvaBharadvaaja- the clan and the arka/gira/Rik veda;suuya-sacrifice,vaca- speech,agna-fire;cf.ukshaaakaasa-uccha-high,ukta- uktha-word,sentencevacu-roar,gaja-garja- roaraja/sa-king/god-va/pa/u-tiger/king/roar) is not the horse but the bull /the elephant denoting the dawn(usha/aja), sun(asva/avasa/aja), sound(sabda/asva/vaca-bull-garj-bellow,Hindi-bol), king(aja/avasa), year(abda),eye(aksha),sky(aakaasa- aksha-svarga-turaga,the bull /hill(giri-srii-raaja-king) shows sreshthasrii-stha=noble denoted by the sky-the seat of the sun cf.asvattha implies the same) etc. The king(simha/lion,cihna-symbol/seal) was denoted by the winged(patra,bhadra-king,sa-bird,god) lions(cf.Asoka used a bhadra-cakra- raaja-srii-wheel instead of patra-wing) and the wing(king)ed bulls and not the winged horses in those ages.The bhadra(king,head,water,bull,cipher) is patra(leaf,bird;pa-sara/sira)/pa(leaf,king ,water) so that the kings kuupa(well,gopa/bhuupa-king) and the kings measure(maasha/karsha) are indicated by ma/ka aasa(naasa-nose/head,ma-aasa-buttocks cf.the buttocks with tigers)/kaaca(karshakaacatulaa-scale) etc. The vedic asva is the aleph (bull-bulla,aalap- speech,aapaNa-market)of the semitic people and the apis (bull) of the Greeks or the Egyptians. Asva being arka they celebrated the arkaasvamedha also. arka(a = sa) + dva(sva)/dyu/div/diva/deva/ravi/siva/u naasa(medha/raaja/nripa/parNa/varNa) asvamedhaarkaasva medhabhadra/Srii Divo raaja/daasa/jaata Sa-u-varNasuvarNa/karsha/gold paNa The king(raaja,daasa-slave,cf.INRI) is sacrifice(suuya- kratu- yuupa-Christ) and money(paNa-parNa-nripa).Divo is born or descended from heaven like usha . Usha is aja-the king.Raaja is Ra(agni)-iisa(lord),aja(king,ram cf.ram faced Ra) and ja(jaata-born). The sun of man was the son of the sun.Being sacrifice he is the sacrificial ram. The king /soldier as Christ/rakshaka /traataprotector is the symbol of ultimate sacrifice as he is raktaka(giver of blood/giver of life) for the people. He was the bali/sacrificial victim of the of the gotra/graama when the enemies struck. He protected the people and their wealth and in return he was given a portion of the protected wealth as bali/tribute/ tax to him. Divodaasa is Bhardvaaja(RV.6&1). He was protected by Indra(the east and the rising sun) and the Asvins(avasa/usha).His father was Bhadra-sva(cf.arka- asva-bhadra).He was the father of king Su(srii)- daas(ushas,divasa,jaata,diva-jaata) . The Rig/arka/gira- word is god!

The Lydian coins were produced around in the seventh century BC with a design on one side and marked with punches on the other side like the Indian Karsha PaNas. These early electrum coins were minted according to a strict weight-standard(cf.the Harappan standard weights). The denominations ranged from one stater (weighing about 14.1 grams cf. sta-tersata-mana/cara coins;sata is 100,cara-is cyprea moneta) down through half -staters, thirds , sixths , twelfths , 1/24ths , 1/48ths to 1/96th stater (about 0.15gm cf.the ,1/4,1/8 etc. Karsha PaNa). It is likely that for bulk transactions the coins were weighed and not counted.
Stater with a seal . The Greek for seal being 'phoce' , the coin is attributed to the Greek city of Phocaea. But this is the evolved paNa(mukha -face)-bhuja(phoce)- fish itself.
An examination of the hoard unearthed by Hogarth on the site of the Artemision at Ephesus shows that between the earliest issues and those with the Lion types (apparently the royal signet) there were at least two distinctly recognizable varieties : (i) those which bear on the obv. the Forepart or Head of a Goat (1/2, 1/3, 1/12, 1/24, 1/48 stater), and (ii) those with the type two Cocks or Cocks heads (1/2, 1/3, 1/6, 1/12 stater). Their primitive style indicate that they are antecedent to the Lion types, which seem to have superseded them about the time of Alyattes (B.C. 610-561). It is likey that during the reigns of the predecessors of Alyattes, Gyges (B.C. 687-652), Ardys (B.C. 652-615), and Sadyattes (B.C. 615- 610), the electrum coins struck in Lydia were issued by wealthy traders or bankers to meet the requirements of markets or fairs held in connexion with religious festivals,(cf. mukha- face,makha,sacrifice,magha-gift,present) such as those which were celebrated at Sardes in the reign of Gyges .The subsequent predominance on early electrum and, later, gold coins, of the Lion type, suggests the idea that it may have been adopted as the royal signet (cf. Hdt. i. 50, 84, and 92), and probably by Alyattes (B.C. 610-561), who, like the Persian monarchs, may have asserted his claim to the sole right of coinage in the precious metals. http://snible.org/coins/hn/lydia.html

This coin has a Greek legend reading phaenos emi sema [14] interpreted variously as "I am the badge of Phanes", or "I am the sign of light", [15] or "I am the tomb of light", or "I am the tomb of Phanes". The coins of Phanes are known to be amongst the earliest of Greek coins, a hemihekte of the issue was found in the foundation deposit of the temple of Artemis at Ephesos (the oldest deposit of electrum coins discovered). One assumption is that Phanes was a wealthy merchant, another that this coin is associated with Apollo-Phanes and, due to the Deer, with Artemis (twin sister of the god of light Apollo-Phaneos). Although only seven Phanes type coins were discovered, it is also notable that 20% of all early electrum coins also have the lion of Artemis and the sun burst of Apollo-Phanos cf.paNa-Vishnu . Alternatively, Phanes may have been the Halicarnassian mercenary of Amasis mentioned by Herodotus, who escaped to the court of Cambyses, and became his guide in the invasion of Egypt in 527 or 525 BC. According to Herodotus, this Phanes was buried alive by a sandstorm, together with 50,000 Persian soldiers, while trying to conquer the temple ofAmunZeus in Egypt. [16] The fact that the Greek word "Phanes"(paNa/faNa/jina/sama/sina ) also means light (or lamp cf.the figure of the paNa-sun or the stars in the IVC seals), and the word "sema"(piNa,sava,sma- corpse,face-mukha-makha-magha ) also means tomb makes this coin a famous and controversial one.

The kala/vana placed on gala of hari/uksha/gaja indicate paNa. PaNa is rava. PaNa/Rava-sun god is ruupa(form,image-image of god). Hence we call paNa as rupya/rupee(= ravi/devi/Srii Devi) also.Naaga(hema,ram /hariNa-deer,gold) indicate gold And the da/sa with a vaara +cross/naindicate svarNa. cf. Vaara(tail,cup,ta) is viira(king)and maa(great,mesure)- aasa(seat,ta-tail) or maasha(5 gunja of weight ) maa-aja(king,ram) or mesha(aja/sa-god) or karsha(cf.Mal.kezha=garja=cry or roar). The writing indicate maasha(cf.tail of mesha)/karsha mudra. Note the paNa kala on the gala,vaksha,udara etc. and the karsha(aksha) on the tail,body,neck ,head and horn of the ibex. HariNa( gold,deer) is horn(cf.sringi-gold,sringa-horn. Druu (tree) with horns (srii with rays is the animal horned /tree branch horned dities ) is also gold. Bhadraasana(suvarNa,Karsha,panca) paNa aksha(5,karsha,trade).Vaara(tail,cup,times,ta) is paana(cup) ,paaNa(kara) , paNa(money,praise) and viira(king,herocf.viira raaya faNa of Kerala).Vaara with the sa(cross) is varsha,vrisha, karsha/maasha.The aasana(amza) has the patra(bhadra) mark.Laksha is aksha/nishka.Capra(svar/sabda) is karsha and vrisha(bhadra cf.pardos).The long horn of the hariNa(horn,ibex,gold) indicate karsha.If the garja of gaja,tiger,lion,snake,leopard/panther(cf.Grk.Leon,pardos)/ jaguar,alligator etc. make them Karsha significators,the ibex qualifies for this by its garja and keras also. Karsha is denoted by garja(roar- gaja, tiger,lion,snake,gharial), vrisha(bull,buffalo),vriksha(tree,asvattha,palm,saal etc are patraasana and bhadraasana),harsha(rising hair,sex organs,hands,feet ) etc. Mu/muu/yu/kalaapa is bandha/bond/muula/bhaaga: : . Muuka can have a bond with it which is the head band/necklace/nishka as in . Bandha as vand means to partition(ru-draday break in Pisces), share,divide, surround,cover ,praise etc. which agrees with muu(bind)- ka(light,water,head) . The head for the vedic Jupiter cycle of 60 years(varsha/vrisha/praja) was hence Pisces.Brihaspati(Jupiter) is varsha pati or prajaapati and his cycle is terminated by Rudra/Siva who gives him a head of Aja(king/usha) everyday which is the Daksha(raksha/ahas-that which saves/sa- gaja/cakra-cycle) yaaga. PaNa was bound to the neck as it is the source of paNa/vaNa/rava-sound and the mudra of paNa was usually hung on the kantha(neck) to indicate the seal of bandha/sandha/nishka of barter/money . It is srii/sira-head vedi / seatprabhaata /dawn/Pisces itself.Pada(word) is paada(foot,quarter)/vedi(seal). paNa vedi is srii vedi/satyaapana-pledge/promise.

Nakshatra is naga(sun)/naaka(sky)- satra(house);moksha(sky)-cara(going-the dead going to moksha-the heavens)/moving(the sun,moon,planets and stars moving in the sky).Srii (word/sun) vedi(bed/sign) is mudra(seal/script)/muurddha(crest)/druma(tree). Sarii-ra forms srii vedi by the muurddhaa,the two palms/paNa and the paada/vedi. Hence bhasma/sandal/kumkuma applied to these parts as mark of paNa to the piNa.In the seals druma/vana(tree) on the muurddhaa(crest) of the sira(srii/ka-head) of gods indicate srii/nri/raja(king) mudra/srii vedi/satyaapana.

The karsha /garja/garta/harsha/hiss symbols on the hands of the godkings/deities in the seals were partially misunderstood as bangles by Dr.Parpola et al. though the bangles by their jingle/tinkle represent garja/karsha. Hence these bristles/spikes can also be seen on the horns, pigtails,back of elephants(gaja- garja-harsha) etc. in seals like M-305,M-1186 etc. The Sumerian paNa-face agree with Indian mukha(aasa/aanana/vac/vad/face pa/bhaa-sa/aasa) and muuka( fish cf.matsa-fish,masta-head,hasta-hand;mu/muu- bind,ka-head,water;paNa-vana-ma-pa-ka=water,head,light cf.

We normally use words of mudras like mukha(face) mudra,paada (foot)mudra,kara(hand) mudra,mudra motira(ring/signet), niNa(blood) mudra,vyakti(man) mudra,natana(harsha-mudra) mudra etc.to create focal/vocal impressions in various occasions.

Several seals follow the vedic style of left to right and right to left reading style as patra(writ) has to be bhadra(auspicious,circle,round) and mudra(round seal=round words =left to right and right to left writng). Note this symbol where sa(man)- parNa(leaf) indicate s- varNa (gold)and we will not be surprised to see lexical meanings of bharma (bha/pa-nara/nrinripa- king,parNa,VaruNa) wages,hire,gold ,the navel (note the position of the leaf) and a particular coin . Patra-leaf is udara-belly/usra-the sun/bull. Naabha-navel is paNa/sankha-shell.

Identification of the vedi in the seals. Perhaps one of the most important identifiable vedic characteristics of the IVC inscriptions is the presence of the srii(king/agni/bharata-light,word) vedi(devi/seal/signet ring/mudra) symbols. The srii vedi is usually marked in the seals as a figure of three vedis/pada/steps/foots/platforms / or as symbolic portrayals of it like the mukha(mu- kha/sriimudravedi),fish(muuka),wheel(srii),women(srii devi-vedi),the conjoined heads,the head(muurddha-mudra) fixed on the floor,seat(vedi)on the tree(srii) , seat in the tree,the worship of the Ficus(satya-truth,VishNu) tree,bulls (bullas/writs/words) tied to the Ficus((satya=satyaapana- oath/satyanrita-trade and commerce) etc. Look at the following seal

It can also be read as srii(word)- pada/pana(word)- akshara(script)/aksha/panca(five)- panca(five) indicating the number of letters of the seal. Word is god.Word is gold.Word is money. Fabulous gifts described in the Vedas were mostly word gifts. The srii-vedi(cf.the Jews) clan is tripaathi nowadays.It may also indicate sriipati-Vishnu. Prabhaata (srii-paada/tri-3 and paada-4) is harmonized as sapta(3+4=7)vaara(week-vaaha-bhaaga-part) or as the dvaadasa(3 x 4=12) raasis(srii-sun,12 sun signs of the year). Prabhaata being praata-dawn and pareta(/pramiita-dead (sava corpse is sa-god,pa-king or siva ) the pyramids were constructed with the tripaada(3x4=12) foots to worship Ra(the sun and the dead king) of the day and the year .

Satya Satya(truth) is satya(Ficus,VishNu) is sadya(adya-feast), sasya(plant),yajna(sacrifice) etc. Satyasandha is truth fullness. Satyasandha/sasyasandha is bonded to a Ficus tree or any plant. Satya(Ficus)/sasya(plant)-sandha(bond)/aasandha(seat)- bhadra(bull,king,elephant,girl)/patra indicate truthful king/kings writ/promise/oath.Thus the bulls tethered to the Ficus(dru-bhadra-vata/bata-huge/big/fig) trees,unicorn elephants bonded Ficus trees,deities posted inside Fig trees,men dancing(mudra/nrit) on trees(druma) indicate satyasandha mudra/dharma/bhadraasana/his highness.Dru(ma)+bha/ha(bhadra/hastin)indicate mahaa/great.

Similarly the simha/tunga/high bhadraasana/buttocks of women Indicate sreshtha bhadraasana/simhaasana(his highnesss throne).Man spearing the bull with his foot(pada/stha) on the sira/head of the bhadra(bull) indicate sreshtha bhadraasana.Man performing patraasana/yogic sitting on toe pose(patraasana/bhadraasana) on a tree(druu- stha/sreshtha/highness) with a simha/tiger having its sira/head turned up shows tunga/sreshtha bhadraasana karsha.

How does a bali(animal/human sacrifice ) give raksha (protection) to the sacrificer?
It is simple.Bali/paNa/hana/srii . On cutting the victim,rakta gushes out which is raksha (raaja-srii-nri-naama-srii mudra- sinduura etc) for the sacrificer. By applying this rakta on the vedi(body/forehead) the sacrificer also gets rakta and raksha(cf.Exodus .12.21-22;24.5-8;29.19-21).In Ex.24.5-8 we see the Book of the Covenant(veda=vedi),blood of the covenant that the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words.Lord is Rudra/Mitra/mudra. Rakta is raaja and his mudra/akshara(cf.INRI-LORD).It is red lac/ red suutra/red mudra/red body smeared with blood as that of the Christ on the cross with a mudra seeing whom the devils flee!. Sacramental sariira + rakta raaja sariirasariira raksha(purodaasa-prasaada-food for devotees). Akshara(imperishable,protection,Vishnu) is /cakra(arka-copper; srii-sun,wheel), rakta(blood,copper), raksha(raja-king,srii- protection ,Sakra(Indra) etc. Akshara is aksha/uksha(ra). Uksha is kavaca(raksha-amulet/spell).Kavaca is vaacaka(speech/writ). Writing with rakta/in red served the purpose even better. Hence the red ink is the mark of authority and fear even today. Vaacaka/srii writ on arka/rakta(copper Mal.cenbu- copper,sambhu-siva,auspicious) with a raktasuutra(raksha mudra) served as kavaca to be kept in shelvess/under the floor and to be worn on the body . These amulets were believed to give wealth and prosperity,win love,destroy enemies and drive away evil spirits,diseases,mishaps,poverty etc. Kavaca/vaacaka/cash is kac/vac/gaja/garja/u/arka/ravi/srii . The early IVC tokens might have been used as amulets rather than trade money like the Sumerians who used amulets even to cure toothache !
Let us take a myth of the Buddha(myth/suddha/satya/Rudra/Mitra/putra-son of man and son of god-Christ) tradition also. His mother was Maayaa devi(maata-mother,mesha- Aries/maasa-month ,devi-ravi-the sun;samaya-time/maa-ya- srii). He was born on the pournami-full moon of Vaisaakha (full moon against the spring equinox of Aries cf.Easter ). Usha is u-sa/ja/suu-birth/mother and the spring equinox coincides with it in the annual cycle. He was born under a saala tree. Saala/ taala indicate raaja- pa/sa-nripa(parNa-paNa)-srii-hari-king .Druu is srii.Paadapa is Vaasava-Vishnu/Indra. Vriksha is prakaasa-light and prasava- birth. Buddha is said to have placed seven steps( from prabhaata/divasa/rava/sabda/sapta-seven) immediately after birth(cf. the seven bhadra women-vedi in M-1186) .
Buddha got enlightened about satya(cf.Saakya)-the truth under the Bodhi(buddhi- Sacred Fig -Ficus religiosa) tree. Any tree is vana(paNa-parNa-nripa) and paNa(pledge). A sasya(plant) is satya (truth). The Ban- yan is paNa (satya,asvattha- avasa, vac-sat ) tree itself . It is a tradition visible from the Nausharo/Mehi perod Where wecan see bulls(vrisha-vac-srii,bhadra-king) tied to the asvattha and other trees to show the kings pledge. The death of the Buddha at Kusi(huti/huta/bali/hatya- offering,sacrifice,killing,Kaasi)- nagar is also interesting.Kings and religious preceptors were deified by making them the avatars of the sungod . Note the following seals:
M-478 b svar(vaara)+paana(na) is svarNa.It is viirabhadra(vaara/gira/dvi/ravi+ paatra) or viiraraaya fana of later years.Tiger is svar/karsha/simyha/panca.Vana is paNa.Man in bhadraasana pose indicate bhadraasana pana.Druu-bhedi(srii vedi-kings promise=paNa),bhadraasana druu-vedi(srii vedi) simha(tunga/panca/karsha)-paNa H180a vriksha(vrika-king,sha-man,sa-god cf.Mal.naran-man,maram-tree) is riktha-gold,prakaasa-light and prasava(cf.birth of Buddha/suddha/myth at vaisaakha puurnima-spring equinox /sunrise) under a saal-raaja tree.He got enlightened of the satya(truth) under the Fig tree as vana(tree) is paNa(sun/pledge), sasya(plant) is satya(truth) and satya is the Fig tree/Vishnu/paNa itself. The emblem ofdruma/ druu(tree-srii)-bhedi(plucking) and druu- vedi(seat) along with / srii-vedi/ indicate affixing the mudra/seal. Muurdha being mu-srii we bless(anugraha) by placing kara on the sira(sriisriikara-causing prosperity). In H-180a the srii-tree on the vedi-waist indicate srii-vedi (sankha/jaghana/paNa) and the fixing of the muurdha on the ground shows the fixing of the srii/raaja-mudra/seal. Pa/va(tiger)-na(two) with human figure(sa) is panca/bandha/savanna.

The Apocalypse
Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals . And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll. Then I saw a lamb looking as if it had been slain,standing in the centre of the throne he had seven horns (cf.the horned deities of IVC)and seven eyes . He came and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne.Rev.5. Throne srona-drona-mudra-vedi signet ring Writing on both sides make it a round seal as in many Indus seals where we have to read it bothways ie. left to right and right to left in the same line. Seven is sapta . Sapta is sabda-sound and sapatha-promise as indicated by the seven patra- bhadra-girls in M-1186. Prabhaata is srii(tri)- paada(four) or sapta. Proclaiming in loud voice is bheri/vedi(cf.Mal.veti- sound of fire works) as in , , etc. Breaking the seal is day break ,Ru-dra, rudhira/niNa/miina/spearing the bull/spearing the Christ . Udaya(U-saya) brings blood(aruNa varNa) as the seal of virginity(kaalya-dawn,kanya-virgin) is broken. The lamb is sa-aja-usha-Aries as shown in M-1186 and several other seals. It appears slain as praata-dawn is pareta-dead. The seven horns are seven days of the week and the seven eyes are the seven planets. After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth ,holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or any tree.Then I saw another angel coming up from the east , having the seal of the living god.He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea : do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until; we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God. Then I heard the number of those who were sealed:144,000 from all the tribes of Israel. Rev.7.1-4. Four angels(cf.ashta naaga/ashta diggaja-eight elephants guarding the eight corners as dik is gaja and angel is angle ) are the paada-feet of prabhaata-dawn,sabda-sound and sapta- seven as in , . East(puurva-suurya-sun) is the direction of udaya-sunrise, vijaya-victory and vidya-learning. Seal is srii- raja(king)-laksha(mark),light and word. Loud voice(Ravi/Rudra/RaavaNa etc. Svar sun - ravi-sun tapasa-sun is svara-rava-sabda-sound,divasa-day ) is prabhaata-morning and srii vedi.Svar is sabda and and sapta.Sabda is mudra/patra/bhadra. Land is dhara .Mudra-seal is mu binding dhara-land. Wind is marut(mudra). Sea is samudra. Samudra is sa(god,bird,king,snake,with,like)-mudra(seal). Mu-bind,sara/ka/sira-water/head is also Mudra (cf.muuka- ). Tree(druu) is druma-mudra-marta-man(cf.Mal.maram- tree,naran-man). Thus the land,sea and tree is the seal of the sun god and the king .Druma is mudra and throne. The seal on the forehead is the varaaha/simha/trisuula/linga/cihna-symbol/seal naama of the Brahmans/ the unicorn . Sringa/ is srii-naga/maha or simha/cihna/mudra/jna/jina/vijna/panca/vasna/VishNu/vindu/ bindu/Hindu. Janana is jnaana and snaana(cf.jnaanasnaana-baptism).It is kara-gaja-srii-raaja-king .Trisuula is sa-srii- suura-the sun . It is marked in red and white to indicate the red rising sun and the light. It being a laksha-mark and rakta show srii-raaja-king and raksha-protection. Suutra(sacred thread/raksha on body,wrist etc.)mudra(red sutrasrii mudrasrii putra/asva/vaca). Rakta(on copper/written in red or blood) vaacaka (word) Is rakshaakavaca(protective armour).

The sinduura-red dot/bindu /vindu- learned/Hindu is cihna/sinha-suura (the sun). 144,000 is from the 12 horas(suura-sun,duura-span) of the day and the 12 signs of the year. Sahasra is samudra and mudra . 144=1+4+4=9(nava-9,new;nabha-sky;paNa-agreement;rava-ravi- sun) mudra(seal)=srii vedi =pra(1)bhaata(4 is stressed by the next 4)-dawn.

8 The Mitannis and the Indus script
According to Dr. Parpola the earliest directly preserved written evidence of an Aryan languge is found in the documents relating to the kingdom of Mitanni in northern Syria,dated to c.1500-1300 B.C.Though the majority of the Mitanni population spoke the local Hurrian language,the ruling aristocracy had Aryan names and invoked Aryan gods as oath deities in their treaties.It is now generally agreed that Mitanni Aryan is related to the Indo- Aryan rather than the Iranian or Nuristani branch.cuneiform renderings correspond to the vedic deities Mitraa-Varunaa,Indra- Naasatyaa(Asvinau cf.Vasa,son of Asva of Dholavira).All these gods are invoked as protectors of treaties in the Rig Veda.Only Mitra,whose name originally means -contract,treaty- is common to both the vedic and zarathusran religions. While varuNa is known from the veda alone..Avestan word for god is baga. It is thought that the Proto-Indo-Aryan language associated with the Mitanni nobles was practically dead by 1500-1300 B.C.as its speakers had largely adopted the local Hurrian language. 9 The Bible and the covenant God said to Abraham(Brahmana,pramaaNa-writ,pramaaNi- noble) every male among you shall be circumcised.You are to undergo circumcision,and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and you.My covenant in your flesh is to be an everlasting covenant Gen.17.9-13. This is srii vedi/bhedi(paricchedana-brit milah/bris) .It is the mudra on muutra( instead of muurddha) saadhana/linga/sisna/cihna/sinha . Sisna(janana-birth) is dasma(master), masta(head), matsa(fish), bandha(covenant,agreement,bond)/sandha(bond,union). cf. the paired fish/spear(spear money-paNa-covenant ) in the seals penis bhuja.Oath(satyaapana) to the master was performed taking the master in the hand. Spear,tree,snake etc . represent srii(sun,word)/sira(head). Its equivalent is placing the hand on the head/fixing the head on the floor(siirshaasana). Rakta(srii) coming out of the wound gives raksha-salvation to the circumcised Jew making a covenant /agreement with god ! Mudra is Rudra- rudhira(blood)-Mitra(of the Mitannis). Moses then took the blood,sprinkled it on the people and said ,this is the blood of the covenant(mudra-Rudra-rudhira-suutra- raksha-akshara cf. rakshaabandhan) that the lord has made with you in accordance with all these words EX.24.8 One of the soldiers pierced Jesusside with a spear.bringing a sudden flow of blood and water John19.34. Rakta + water paNa mudra/rudhirasaffronmudra of Hindu rakta raksha cakrasriiraaja. Rudhira ru-sira ru-sriimudra. Varaaha mana(jana/nara-Brahman-vindu-Hindu) and a(not)- varaaha mana(jana-semitic people) follow a common thread of religion/ritual/ traditions.Shem(jana-birth,people) is the father of the latter.Muusa(Moses-muula) and the Torah(svara) rely on the vedas.Yahova(yahva-LORD) is their god.Panca granthi (five books) show their vansa (clan)kraanti(transition) from the varaaha-jana(Brahmans of IVC) to the a-varaaha jana(Jews) . (Varaaha/va-raaja is the crocodile and the unicorn-vaaraNa- elephant - in the seals.) The Tabernacle(paNa/srii vedi) is the chest for the paNa , . Cast four gold rings for it and fasten them to its four feet,with two rings on one side and two rings on the other. Ex.25.12. : : Bali vedi paNa(rava-srii) vedi vedi of paNa (sun god / covenant.Mitra is mudra.). The altar (vedi) for burnt offering was of acacia wood overlaid with bronze .It was three (srii)cubits high, five (panca-bandha- sandha-paNa-vedi)cubits long and five cubits wide with a horn at each of the four corners. Ex.27.1-2. 10 The breaking of the tablets When Moses approached the camp(of Israel) and saw the golden calf(bullbulla) he threw the (command-bulla) tablets out of his hands and ,breaking(bhedi-vedi) them to pieces(day break) at the foot of the mountain(bhadra-mudra-parvata-prabhaata- dawn).And he took the calf they had made and burned(srii) it in the fire(srii-agni sun,daybreak). Break of coconutbreak of lemon, break of gourd, break of Christ-the bull- king(John.19.34),break of the curtain in the temple(Mark.15.38), etc. indicate break of day. This is again confirmed by the next act Each man(srii) strap a sword to his side .Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other,each killing(bhedi-vedi) his brother and friend and neighbour. Ex.32. Note a bull(sriicf.vrisha-vaaca/bhadra/kaasara/kesara) breaking(bhedi-vedi) five(panca-bandha-vanda) people(srii/sariira/gaatra) in the Harappan seal M-312 .
This conveys the same message as the breaking of the golden calf.Bullgolden calfsrii/bulla/bhuja-hand. Marta(man)mudra(seal) . Kaasara-kaksha(buffalo).Gaatra- bodykarshakesara-gold.Gaatra is srii.Its bhedi is vedi of bhadra-king,patra-writ. Bhadra(pa-srii-raaja) azana-throwing is bhadra aajna-order and aazana-seat,yajna-sacrifice,yaacana- begging. Bheda/bhaaga/bhaga vedi(mudra ring cf .Mal. Paati- a half) The division of the eucharist on the bali vedi as sariira-body rakta-blood or sariiraraksha(food) is best example of a transcendence from the Mosaic Old testament tabernacle sacrifice vedi to the Christian New testament sacrifice vedi. Blazing fire with food/fuel is pleasing firegod !. Nowadays we mark a new beginning by breaking a ribbon in imitation of the god who breaks a day. The seal DK8165 clearly shows the tri/srii/fire-vedi symbol as the buffalo(bhuupaala-raaja-pa-srii !cf.buffalo+lionhari+pa- nripa-king,prabha-light,bhadra-king,auspicious,bhuusura- Brahman) is speared(bhedi-vedi). In M-492C a cobra(sarpa-hari- srii-phaNa-paNa) is shown beside the broken (bhedi-vedi) buffalo(kaasara-kesara-gold, khecara-the sun,gaatra-sariira- body, man created in the image of god Gen.1.26) to indicate srii vedi mudra. srii is sira-jina . Sira / + paada paada/paala/bhaata/bhaasa/bhaasha/vaaca/miina/muuka =prabhaada=srii-vedi.This is further confirmed by the spearing/stamping /tramping the bull/srii/bulla to make the mudra(stamp). Figures of surata also indicate mudra. The bull(srii-raaja-bhadra-sira cf. INRI) is speared on the hrit(garta/nrit,marta-mudra,vaksha-uksha-usha-aja-sa- god/king) . Kunta(suula-spear cf.tuulika-pen,suurya- sun,linga-phallus,sara-arrow) is paNa/saya/ bandha/sanga/sandha-bond in mu/pu/ru/u-dra(seal)/su- rata(se-x cf x is rata/rati-sex or srii/hari/paNa-the sun)/ ne-tra(nayana,sayana,Indra,satra cf. ; etc. ).

Many women (strii-srii vedi ) were there watching from a distance(the crucifixion of the Christ cf.M-1186) Bhadraasana /srii vedi/prabhaata is shown by the aasana(seat) on asva(buffalo,elephant-both being krishna show karsana and srii-jina,aakaasa- of blue colour) /asvattha(asva/avasa- sat/sta)/uksha(asva)/garja(gaja,simha,tiger- garta)/garuda(garta,patra,sa)/ Bhadra(bull,wheel)/cakra(wheel)/ bhadraasva(buffalo,elephant,sky)/patra(bird- sa)/rakta(raja-srii- cakra)/vrisha(bhadra,rat)/varsha(vrisha,bhadra,abda)/ Sarpa(bhadra,sarva,visva,aakaasa,sa-rava/ruupa) etc. as in

Sabda is sa(bird,god)-pada(foot,word;rava-sound,sun cf.word was god John 1.1) cf. sapta (number 7) and stuupas from Anatolia . Hence veda is said to be the sound of the wings of Garuda(garja/karsa/kantha-throat). Mahaabhaarata is the bhaashya (exposition,commentary-Vyaasa ) of the veda itself.

Simha is king/sankha. Naava-boat is paNa-money,praise. Taranda-boat may indicate DharaNa/ Talent etc.Vana(plant symbols,water,house) indicate paNa/sankha . F.W.Thomas indicates a reference to karsha in an Aramaic papyrus which shows that the money of the Aramaic colony in Egypt in the 6 th century B.C .was reckoned in Karshas. This indicates the survival of the Indus valley system of weights and measures through the centuries into the historical period not only in India(through the numerous karsha coins issued by the Indian kings of the Mahajanapadas) but also in those foreign countires that had trade relations with IVC. The reach of the karsha from IVC to Egypt through the Phoenicians can be inferred by linking this coin and the statement of F.W.Thomas. Note the karsha paNa in the garja(lion/tiger/elephant/croc),vaama(strii/srii- women,wealth,siva,kaama;bhaama-sun-paNa) and naava(boat).The bhadraasva(Lamasu/Pegasus;asva-bull/horse with patra-wing and vaara-tail/cup of fish transformed into a paana(cup) to show viira hero,king as bhadraasva/ viirabhadra(Mahaaraaja-great king cf.viiraraaya fana of Malabar) itself.Thus the fish(bhuj-hand,food;hasta-hand,matsa- fish,paaNa-hand,paana-jar,paNa-money ) with garja(simha- lion/tiger) is karsha paNa which in fact is panca(5) karaja(finger) of paaNa(bhuja-hasta-hand).The palm square itself is pa and the karaja(fingers) form harsha (erection) on it to make na and thus paNa (fana/phaNa- hood) is formed for the bhuja(hand,bhoga-snake,pasas-phallus).
Following the vedic IVC,the earliest coins of pure gold and silver were made by King Croesus of Lydia, son of Alyattes as historians taught us till now. Shortly afterward in the same region gold "darics"(cf.karsha) and silver "sigloi" (cf.sulka) were issued by the Achaemenid Empire of the Persians.

Pyramidal weight in diorite The Trustees of The British Museum. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/iran/bm_gallery.shtml?select=03 12 Superintendent of Weights and Measures, Duties of Superintendents, Arthashastra Superintendent of Weights and Measures shall begin his work with the manufacture of the state owned weights and measures. Chapter XIX of Book II in Arthashastra gives a detailed description of the weights and measures with the orders in which it is presented. The units of weights begin with 10 seeds and ends up with suvarnas. It includes 10 seeds of masha or Ardha-masha (half a masha), one masha, two mashas, four mashas, eight mashas, one suvarna, two suvarnas, four suvarnas, eight suvarnas, ten suvarnas, twenty suvarnas, thirty suvarnas, forty suvarnas and one hundred suvarnas. Similar weights shall also be made in case of dharanas. Weights shall be made up of iron or stone which should not get contracted on heating or expanded when comes in contact with water.
Superintendent of Weights and Measures will then begin the manufacturing and division of the weights and measures as has been specified in Arthashastra. The weights and measures of Maurya Empire was based on the division of angulas ( ) and its metallic strength which will decide the amount of weight each barter consist of and the prices fixed accordingly. For this reason it demarcates the weight with the division of angulas ( )and palas( ). The weighing system as mentioned in Arthashastra includes that a balance called samavratta , with its lever 72 angulas long (cf. the buffalo horn scales of IVC,kaksha/bhadra/ paNa/sama/samavritta) and weighing 53 palas in its metallic mass, shall also be made. A scale-pan of 5 palas in the weight of its metallic mass being attached to its edge, the horizontal position of the lever (sama-karana cf . paNasama) when weighing a karsha shall be marked (on that part of the lever where, held by a thread, it stands horizontal). To the left of that mark, symbols such as 1 pala, 12, 15 and 20 palas shall be marked. After that, each place of tens up to 100 shall be marked. In the place of Akshas, the sign of Nand(cf. ) shall be marked.
Likewise a balance called parimani, of twice as much metallic mass as that of samavratta and 96 angulas in length shall be made. On its lever, marks such as 20, 50 and 100 above its initial weight of 100 shall be carved. The digits being division of the hand the short marks/lines might denote divisions of the karsha and the long lines might denote full maashas/karshas.
20 tulas = 1 bhaara (cf.bhaari-tiger/lion) 10 dharanas = 1 pala 100 such palas = 1 ayamani (measure of royal income Cf.: : ajaayasa4aaya). Aja-Indra,king,ram Aya going,a die,chess,the number 4,good fortune,good luck. Aaya arrival,income,revenue,taxes,gain,the number4, a formula of sacrifice Aayadvaara-the place where revenues are collected cf. , Aayavyaya-income and expenditure Pala ravakala hala cf. count-sound-pound
Superintendent of Weights and Measures then mentions that the state shall have separate balances for public, servants and harems as public balance, servant`s balances and harem balances. The palas of each of the above successively falls short of the same in ayamani by half a dharana. The metallic mass of the levers of each of the above successively decreases in weight by two ordinary palas and in length by six angulas. Besides excepting flesh, metals, salt and precious stones, an excess of five palas (prayama) of all other commodities (shall be given of the king) when they are weighed in the two first- named balances.
Superintendent of Weights and Measures while organising the weights and measures according to a table, shall also have the freedom to charge 4 mashas(cf.aaya) on stamping weights and measures. A fine of 27 1/4 panas shall be imposed for using unstamped weights and measures. Further the traders shall pay one kankani to the superintendent towards the charge of stamping the weights and measures. Those who trade on butter and oil product shall pay a compensation of 1/32 part or more as compensation of for the decrease in the quantity of ghee owning to its liquid conditions. While selling liquid traders shall have to pay 1/50th part as compensation for the dimunition of quantity, owing to its overflow or adhesion to the measuring can.
Thus, Superintendent for weights and measures is primarily responsible for the manufacturing, putting right measures for right weights and collection of compensation in case of any loss or unavailability. The job of a superintendent of weights and measures goes with the job of superintendent of commerce who shall need these weights and measures as manufactured by the superintendent of weights and measures. http://www.indianetzone.com/51/superintendent_weights_measur es.htm
http://www.bethisad.com/weights_and_measures.htm The Indian Standard measures conform in part to SI standards:
Cash usually refers to money in the form of currency, such as banknotes and coins. Cash is kac/gaja/vac/word- the word of the king/the governor/government about the value of the mudra patra(writ/chit/note) . This practice was initiated by the IVC chieftains.
Etymology of cash The English word cash(gunja-abrus;karsha-weight,garja-roar- tiger/lion/gharial/snake;gaja-elephant;jhasha-fish) is of the French caisse, itself a borrowing of the Provenal caissa. That Provenal word is a derivative of the Latin capsa (box, chest , , etc.cf.vac-face,caksha-nayana-eye,king,sabda-sound- capsa is the mouth), most likely by way of an unattested Vulgar Latin form *capsea; Spanish caja and Portuguese caixa are their respective languages' reflexes. From the original sense of a box or a chest, the word came to refer to a sum of money. Historical usage in Asia The word was formerly used also to refer to certain low-value coins used in South and East Asia. This sense derives from the Tamil/Telugu ksu, a South Indian monetary unit which can be traced back to Sanskrit karsa , a weight of gold or silver but akin to Old Persian karsha - a weight. a unit of value equivalent to one cash coin. The early European representations of this Tamil/Telugu word, including Portuguese caxa and English cass, merged the existing words caixa and cash, which had similar connections with money. In the pre-1818 South Indian monetary system, the cash was the basic coin, with 80 cash equalling a fanam and 42 fanams equalling a star pagoda worth roughly 7 s. 8 d.
This assimilated Tamil/Telugu word was then applied to various other coins with which European traders came into contact, including the famous holed cash coins of China, the Chinese cash. These coins were commonly strung on cords for use in larger transactions; 1000 equalled a tael. The Sanskrit word pasu and Latin word pacus or pecunia means cattle, but it is kac/vac/vac/pasu/vasu-word/gold that was used as money and not the live cattle. There are references to Nishka / nishka-griva (gold ornaments) / hiranyapinda- gold globules / Shatamana as the means of exchange of uniform weights. The counting and measuring The Tamils adopted the counting and measuring systems of the Bharats like the other peoples of the ancient world. For counting the basic unit is agna(fire).Agna eka aga aja mesha naaza(nose) mass maasha (a weight unit) raaja(king). Maasha/nishka being the nose (kings face) are nose money for the Chinese. The root term to measure is maa(to measure , ) from which comes the maana,miina,maasha,mass,metre,litre, mile etc. The hasta(hand,panca-5paNa( netra/Dinara/ Indra/homa/muuka)sama-equalkaraja- fingerskarshagaNita-calculationkala-calculationkara- handgala-neckhala-plough which produce gharsha-scratch marks to indicate the count/pound/sound) was the basic unit of counting. Hence the dasa(2x5 decimal gaja/dasa/raaja/srii /sa/ka ) and sexagesimal(3x4x5) systems came into force.The five fingers on both hands gave a bhadra(baahu/vaaha/pasu/vasu- hand,bull,gold.Mal. Pattu-ten,paRa-measure of grain). This is the roman symbol of ten=2xV=X.Crossed baaNa(arrow,paana- pot,paaNa-palm) with vanita(women,panca-5) in K-65. The V=5=is the palm(insert your palm into the figure of the number and see) itself.It is va,pa,sa etc.Hence paada-four and dasa-ten are indicated by X. The three divisions of the four fingers on a hand multiplied by the five fingers on the other hand makes shashty(sa-hasta = sixty). Bhadra being hasta(panca-5 cf.Egyptian deben ).Initially this may have indicated the number 5. Sa is patri(pakshi-bird).Bhadra is hasta(five),bhadra(pasu = ten),paada-tra or tripaada(twelve). These units might have been in use either simultaneuously for different purposes or at different periods of the development of the civilization itself. Note the bhadra pakshii or Gaayatri (syena) or soma bhadra(droNa kalasa/suvarNa/Garuda/suparNa) in the scripts like , H-166a This soma bhadra (drona/srona bhadra) is the nirapaRa( puurNa kumbha full pot)of the Keralites which is still used in auspicious occasions like marriage,house warming etc. Haatra (wages) was paid as one paNa (daily) to the lowest and six to the highest.Likewise one droNa of grain was given every month and clothing was given every six months. http://www.scribd.com/doc/65468316/31/The-counting-and- measuring A Nishka is four Suvarnas(note the eyes making a four) . A PaNa of copper/arka is a Krshika (having the weight of one Karsha). A coin made of a Karsha of copper has to be known as a Krshika PaNa. It is also called an Andik. Four such are a Dhnaka. Twelve of the latter are a SuvarNa. That is also called a Dnra (denarius cf.netra-king,eye;aksha-eye,karshacf.1 shekel=3.5/4 denarii).

14 Punch marked coins From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first coins in India were minted around the 6th century BC by the Mahajanapadas of the Indo-Gangetic Plain, and certainly before the invasion of Alexander the Great in the 4th century BC. The coins of this period were punch(panca-5 karshagarjagartagharshaharshadridrusrii/hari svarsarpamudrapatra akshara writ/script) marked coins called Puranas, Karshapanas or Pana. Several of these coins had a single symbol, for example, Saurashtra had a humped bull, and Dakshin Panchala had a Swastika, others, like Magadha, had several symbols. These coins were made of silver of a standard weight but with an irregular shape. This was gained by cutting up silver bars and then making the correct weight by cutting the edges of the coin.They are mentioned in the Manu, Panini, and Buddhist Jataka stories and lasted three centuries longer in the south than the north (600BCE-300CE)". Mauryan Period (322185BC)
Punch marked with an Elephant(gajagarjakarsha, Sun- paNa)
During the Mauryan period, punch marked coins continued to be issued in large quantities, these are a continuation of the Magadha Kingdom coinage as the ruling house of this empires established the Mauryan Empire. They contained on average 50- 54 grains of silver in each coin depending on wear and 32 rattis in weight (Manu smruti,4) and earlier coins are flatter than later coins. Punches on these coins count to 450 with the most common the sun and six-armed symbols, and various forms of geometrical patterns, circles, wheels, human figures, various animals, bows and arrows, hills and trees etc. The basic coin is called the Karshapana (pana) in numismatic terms but the Arthasastra stated there are at least 4 denominations of silver coins in pana, ardhapana (half pana=arka=sun), pada (quarter pana cf. or m290 a) and ashta-bhaga, or arshapadika (one-eighth pana cf. , , ). But only the Karshapana is found. There is no issues found of the other denominations even though cut coins are found.
The style of these coins is not artistic, but they do show recognizable designs such as Buddhist Shrines and Chaitya, or animals such as the elephant, horse, lion, etc. On the reverse side of the coins is depicted the so-called Ujjain symbol, which is "a cross with four circles at the end of the two crossing lines."
In the image on the right, the obverse has Bust of the king with an Asokan Brahmi legend in Prakrit: "Siri Satakanisa Rano ... Vasithiputasa". The reverse has a Ujjain/Stavhana symbol facing left. Crescented six-arch chaitya hill right and a River below. Tamil Brahmi legend: "Arahanaku Vahitti makanaku Tiru Hatakaniko."

H-183b vana/patraasana /drumapaNa mudra/bhadraasana vedi/druu vedi/srii vedi/trivedibali(Frankincense tree or Pine or Fir) Pine or palm with its uninodal branches or leaves is special to indicate varsha(cakra/karsha/raaja;valaya-paNa-vedi) paNa/paaNa(palm; / ) as the kings usually issued coins for each year of their reign like the annual branches or rings of the trees. Druu is srii.Druu(tree) has pa(leaf,king,water).So is srii/raaja/nri/nri-pa . Druma is mudra(hence druma chosen for mudra cf vana on muurddha/crest to show paNa mudra and on aasana/moola to show mooladhana/capital)/Marut/Mitra.Sasya is satya(srii vedi).Sasya with phaNa/ring shows satyaapana(pledge and praise of Vishnu).Each ring/cakra being a varsha/sarpa may be a karsha/nishka . The 8 rings may indicate 8 nishka(cakra-sarpa-nahusha-nishka) or karsha.There is more importance for the druu(srii-tree-sun/word/prosperity) vedi(mudra/devi/altar/dais/vedika) as it is the promise of the king and symbol of the sun/fire/prosperity.We can see the TulasittaRa(Holy Basil vedi;tulasisurabhi su-ravi/paNa/sunpuurva-the eastsuurya-the sun) in the houses of the Hindu Vaishnavites even now.Vana is paNa(Vishnu/sun). Srii vedi is kshetra/go-aalaya/ko-il/ko-vil/srii kovil.Hence the gods/kings beds /temples/palaces are represented by Fig/big/Banyan/paNa/satya tree beds (cf.Egyptian bata ) and the hindu houses exhibit the smaller Basil beds for the same purpose. The kalpapaadapa daana(gold tree offering) is a form of sacrifice also. Instead of making a tree of gold a coin/note marked with a tree might have been offered . Druu is srii(sa-1,ra-0,ra-0100-satasada/saada- fruits&vegetables) and satamakha/paNa(tree+worshipper) is Indra(netra/raaja/srii/strii/Narunda/AruNa+arusha).Mudra is druma(tree) / damuuru(drum)/ naataka(naada/drama) . Kaladhuuta/kaladhauta -silver/gold also cf Kalebara is the body. Kalopajiiva is one wholives on kala(gala/hala)-interest. Note the kala/paNa mark on gala to indicate interest or nishka in some seals . Compare with bhadraasana panca( sankha)- varsha/mudra/patra/satra-nishka/karsha Srii-vedi-mudra is shown by nrit/narta-dance in bhadraasana mudra .Mudra is druma(tree),damuuru(drum) and drama(naatakanaada).Vriksha is va/pa(king,water,VaruNa,leaf)- Riktha(gold)/raksha(raaja- king)/prakaasa(light)/bharga(arka)- aasa(face/seat).Naga(tree/sun) satra(seat) is nakshatra(asterism)/moksha(heavens).Simha(tiger) is karsha ,panca and tunga which is the same as sa(with)- naga(tree)/nakha(claws)/sankha.Panca sankha is maasha. Narta/harsha is narda-garja roar whereby karsha/nishka is further indicated along with the gaja/garja/pushkara- elephant. var-Na + sa + dra u ma svarNa mudra svarNa rudra svarNa mitra/mudra . vana-ca/panca/vanda/bandha mu dra na/ni jaga/gajapanca mudra/karsha nishka is alternative.

Hence the nakshatra is portrayed on trees (eg.H-179 )and seen with gods / kings/officials(bhaara vaaha/vaara vaaha-water carrier.Water/bhadra/vana/paNa/pa/ma is the king.Sriivedi is raaja pada/power/pa-vara/vaara.). The vedi of srii /naga-satra is the nakshatra/star of Bethlehem(beth-house,el-god,naaka-sky srii vedi) in the Bible(Matthew.2). The rising head of the pancamukha-Tiger indicate the rising sun indicated by the nakshatra of Tiger/Kritika/Jaatavedas/Ucchaisravas(usha-usra pada/prabhaata)/Airaavata/vimsottari beginning.

Narunde with nakshatra/star(DTIS page262.Fig.14.36)/water carrier with nakshatra/star(DTIS page 183.Fig.10.7)/three kings with star indicate bha(sun/star)-dra(srii-the king) and naaga/naga satra or srii vedi.

Asva-ttha(Fig tree) as avasa(sun,king)-sta(seat) is srii(druu,naga,naaga,naaka) vedi and has more eligibility to attach nakshatras. Naga/gaNa/kanaka/naaga/hema is the sun,tree,mountain,snake etc. Vana(tree,water,house) is paNa(trade,barter,chess,price,money) , vipaNa(trade/sale), phaNa/vipanna(snake/unicorn). In fact sa is snake and god.God is love(sneha) . Sneha(love)/kanaka(gold) is sa-naga(sun,tree)/naaga(sa) or sata .Naaga is kaama(love) and sa(god).This is nishka too.Kanaka(gold) is kaamini(Bhadra is king,gold and girl). A temple is kshetra/kshatra/ka or kha/naga-satra /nakshatra Itself.It is srii vedi /vedika/praakaara. It is Mal. ambalaambara-the sky.

The croc/varaaha indicate sankha by its sankhamukha. The deity has the pose of patraasana/bhadraasana/srii vedi and has a horn/sankha/karsha/srii on his muurddhaa/mudra. The kaasara(buffalo) is kesara-gold and as mahisha it is nishka/kanaka. Manusha is also nishka and hence the vedic sages used to get gifts of men/women probably not in the form of live slaves but in the form of money itself. bhadraasana-kaasara(buffalo-kesara-karsha) bali(tax,hana- paNa) -nakra(alligator,nose;karaNa-deed;karNa-ear;hariNa- gold;rukma-nishka-gold ornament) .This is a nose or nishka money. Bhadra is a buffalo, a woman, an elephant,a tiger, a cipher etc.Buffalo throwing men is similar to woman/man throwing tiger to indicate bhadraasana(azana-throw,amsa-part, amza- shoulder,naaza-nose,saasana-daana-sana-donation) etc.

This is svar(the sun,sky,ha-sky,gold)-na(gem,like).SvarNa is hiraNya(hariNa-gold/horn).HiraNya is bhadra(king,bull,elephant,gold).Bhadras aasana(seat) is bhadraasana(throne).So if is seen on an aasana it is bhadraasana .Now note , , , , etc. indicating bhadraasana.Similarly note hiranya with aksha(snake,eye,wheel) making HiraNyaaksha (gold money) in , , , etc. Note that ka(head, ) is sa(bird,god cf.ears are wings) and pa(king ) .Sa is ra + ra (raa-ja/gaja) also.

Varuna(left to right) - 10/ 10 nripa (right to left)Dasa Raaja(in Mandala 7 of the Rigveda 18. 8-21), -ten kings is also indicated. Desa(place)/teja(light) raaja(king/srii) was made Dasa Raaja/Dasa ratha. Dasa being raaja Dasaraaja also means Raajaraaja/Samraat-emperor who has ten kings(cf.sataadhipa- lord of a hundred soldiers) or several kings under him. Udaya is yuddha(battle/war),vijaya(victory),vidya (knowledge) etc. Sudas (ushas/divasa/deva) won the battle.Raaja is raasi(sign) and kaasi(the sun cf.Raasippon paNam). The Puru(guru/Kuru- Pisces) raasi-sign/jaati-clan is defeated daily by Sudas with the help of Indra(the east, the rising sun and Aries cf.Mars the war god is the lord of Aries .The red rising sun is Mars-Marja- Marut/Rudra/Indra who is victorious by udaya/vijaya and Ravi/Putra/Buddha/Jina/jna/Rabbi who has come out of the darkness of ignorance ). Marja is Vishnu and the Maruts supported Indra hence.TheMahabharata narrates this story as the Kurukshetra war where the Kurus(Gurus/Purus) were defeated.The Bible narrates the same story as the Passover of Israel(Indra) from Egypt(Egya/Iisa-pada=Pisces). Indra helped the victory of the army of Sudas by changing the course of the river Parushni(arushi/aaruni red dawn;proshNa- burnig,bhraajana-shinig cf.the burnig bush in Ex.3 ) to kill the enemies. In the same way Moses changed the course of the Red sea(cf.RV.7.18.5) to kill the army of the Pharaoh and and save Israel. Miina(Pisces-northeast) is niNa(red) at dawn by the blood of battle/wars of the Devas(Sudas) and Asuras(Purus) everyday. Why the Veda use a river and the Bible a sea.In fact Rig(arka- sun/roar/hymn-gira)veda use the term Sindhu(sea) in 7.18.5 for the same river. Both are place of the fish(Pisces)! And zara - waterfall,river/sara/pa/ka-water/sira-head is srii/bha/bhaga-the sun/light. Vasishtha being vac(the sun)-uttha(risen) was the victor through Sudas and Visvamitra as avasanidra(avasa-tired,defeated avaza/asva-king) was defeated through the Purus(guru pisces). Sleep/sleeping sun is vanquished at dawn. After the great pralaya(night and sleep.During night the earth is under water) Noah landed safely on the land.

Makara is ma-great,kara-saakha/branch is tree(naga-tree,mountain,the sun,naaga,naaka). Thus makaraketana is the king in the nagara(city/Drupada), the man on the tree , the fish in the mouth of makara(sex), the sun in the sky(noon,the tenth sign is makara-naaka-naaga for Vishnu) etc. We can locate this Makaraketana in the names of Nicodemus(John.3.1,Mahaadeva) and Zacchaeus(Zakeus/zakevus Luke.19). Jesus entered Jericho(svarga-Dvaaraka cf.noon) and was passing through.Aman was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy.He wanted to see who Jesus was ,but being a short man he could not,because of the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, Since Jesus was coming that way.Luke.19.1-4. The meaning of Nicodemusis peoples victory. The tenth sign/noon is the house of victory. Tax(daksha-the right,dakshiNa is south or noon.raksha- salvation).The born again concept(John3.3) of eternal life(John.3.16) was explained to Nicodemus. Nico(naga-tree,naaka-sky,naaga-snake)-demus(deus- god,domus-house,dominus-master) too indicate the man on the tree and the god in the sky and the master(peoples victory). As we know NZ. Nico is Zac. Demusdomusvashaeushouse Thus varuNa/nripa is makaraketana/ nagaraketana/ naakaketatana/nagaketana/naagaketana(Vishnu) himself. M-461b Bhadraasana paNa - 6 .We are not sure of the number value. Druu/vana/paNa/sasya/satya-vedi is srii vedi.Vriksha is va/pa-raksha/riktha/Riksha etc. Dru(gold) is druu. Patra(leaf) is bhadra(gold).

Pa is patra(leaf,bird,wing),sarpa(snake,sarva- whole),bhadra(gold,king,bull,elephant,girl,cipher),va(baahu- hand,river,bull,varuNa,Tiger etc.) all indicating a snake form. Pa is paNa/phaNa/baaNa/paana/vana. / Blessing(the cross-sa-srii-traa , ) the fish(bhojya;sayayajasavanahavana)/wine(soma/madhu) and its division(paada-bhaaga-bhaga) is the Eucharist(balibalivedisrii vedi.).The trident symbols on pottery indicate, srii(fire,auspiciousness,sraa- baking),traa(to protect-being breakable handle with care etc.),raaja(king ) etc. Traata(Christ,netra-Indra)-the protector god is hence portrayed on srii/tree/cross and the protector god himself is the sariiraraksha(foodgod;asana-food and vacana-sun- wordgod)/sariira(body)-rakta(blood). by itself is gaja/saya(vedi-bed)/srii vedi/bha/kha. Sa is mukha and varNa is panca to make panca mukha. Thus suvarNa is su- nripa/varuNa/king and pancamukha/simha/tiger/king.Hari is gold , lion and Vishnu/the sun.Hari/kari/srii is asva(bull/elephant). Karsha paNa mudra is shown by the kaasara(buffalo,kesara-gold)+ vana(tree/satya to indicate satyaapana) on the muurddhaa of the sira/srii/raaja/nri-king. The hoofed legs show bhadraasana/srii vedi. The harsha/bangles show karsha. Arddhodayaasana-half rising pose is arkkodaya/srii vedi/sunrise. KiraNa/horn is hariNa/gold and the sun.Words for horn indicate the sun and gold.Thus sringa-horn,sringi-gold,srii-naga- sun;kshidra-sun,horn;vishaaNa-horn,vishnu-sun;bakura- horn,bharga-sun,bakula-siva;kuuta-horn,suura-sun,kuuNikaa- horn,suurya-sun etc.Siroruha-horn is srii-ruha-sunrise/sriivedi. karsha/arka/Indra/eka/asva/cakra/mudra/panca suvarNa/Chandra Arka Chandra (the sun and the moon-a name)suvarNa(gold) asva(vac bull-bulla)ardha(half) suvarNa(paNa).
