Some central thoughts in Sanatana Dharma, Hinduism, remain firm.

One is that there is no difference between Hari and Hara  and they are quite close.

As an evidence of this Lord Shiva’s Marriage  with Parvati was conducted specially for Lord Vishnu.

The Marriage Ceremonial fire still burns.

Scroll down for Video.

The marriage is between Shiva and Parvati, the Homa kunda is for their marriage.

Yet the Temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu!

 

Triyuginarayan Temple (Sanskrit: त्रियुगी-नारायण) is a Hindu temple located in the Triyuginarayan village in Rudraprayag district,Uttarakhand. The ancient temple is dedicated to god Vishnu. Its fame is credited to the legend of god Shiva’s marriage to goddessParvati witnessed by Vishnu at this venue and is thus a popular pilgrimage centre.[1][2] A special feature of this temple is a perpetual fire, that burns in front of the temple. The flame is believed to burn from the times of the divine marriage.[3] Thus, the temple is also known as Akhand Dhuni temple.

The temple courtyard is also the source of a water stream, which fills four sacred bathing ponds (kunds) nearby.

 

The word “Triyugi Narayan” is formed of three words “tri” means three, “yugi” denotes the period of time – Yuga and “Narayan” is another name of Vishnu. Pilgrims have been offering wood to the fire in the havana-kund (fireplace) since the three Yugas – hence the place is given the name “Triyugi Narayan”.[1] Yuga in Hindu philosophy is the name of an epoch or era within a cycle of four ages. The four Yugas are Satya Yuga (1,728,000 human years), Treta Yuga (1,296,000 years), the Dvapara Yuga (864,000 years) and finally Kali Yuga (432,000 years), which is the present Yuga.

The name “Akhand Dhuni temple” also originates from the eternal flame legend, “Akhand” means perpetual and “Dhuni” means flame…

According to Hindu mythology, goddess Parvati was daughter of Himavat or Himavan – the personification of the Himalayas. She was the rebirth of Sati, the first wife of Shiva – who sacrificed her life when her father insulted Shiva. Parvati initially tried to allure Shiva by her beauty, but fails. Finally, she won Shiva by practising rigorous penance at Gauri Kund, which is 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) away from Triyuginarayan. Pilgrims visiting Triyuginaryan temple also visit the Gauri Kund temple, dedicated to Parvati. Mythology states that Shiva proposed to Parvati at Guptakashi (on the road to Kedarnath) before they got married in the small Triyuginarayan village at the confluence of Mandakini and Sone-Ganga rivers.

Triyuginarayan is believed to be the capital of Himavat. It was the venue of the celestial marriage of Shiva and Parvati, during the Satya Yuga, witnessed in the presence of the holy fire that still burns eternally in front of the temple in a Havana-kund or Agni-kund, a four-cornered fireplace on the ground. Vishnu formalized the wedding and acted as Parvati’s brother in the ceremonies, while the creator-godBrahma acted as the priest of the wedding, that was witnessed by all the sages of the times. The exact location of the wedding is marked by a stone called Brahma Shila, in front of the temple.The greatness of this place is also recorded in a sthala-purana (a scripture specific to a pilgrimage centre). According to the scripture, pilgrims who visit this temple consider the ashes from the burning fire as holy and carry it with them. It is also believed that ashes from this fire are supposed to promote conjugal bliss.

Before the marriage ceremony, the gods are believed to have taken bath in three kunds or small ponds namely, Rudra-kund, Vishnu-kund and Brahma-kund. The inflow into the three kunds is from the Saraswati-kund, which – according to legend – originated from Vishnu’s navel. Hence, the water of these kunds is considered to cure infertility. The ashes from Havana-kund are supposed to promote conjugal bliss.https://ramanisblog.in/2015/04/07/shivas-marriage-fire-still-burns-triyuginarayan-temple/

Here is a Temple where the Temple Priest , Daily, at the stroke of Noon ,  dresses up like the wife of Lord Siva, Akilandeswari, and performs the Middy Pooja(Ucchi Kala Pooja).Thiruvanaikaval (Tamil: திருவானைக்காவல்) (also Thiruvanaikal, Jambekeswaram) is a famous Shiva temple in Tiruchirapalli (Trichy), in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. The temple was built by Kocengannan (Kochenga Chola), one of the Early Cholas, around 1,800 years ago. It is located in the Srirangam island, which has the famous Ranganathaswamy temple.

Thiruvanaikavall is one of the five major Shiva Temples of Tamil Nadu (Panchabhoota Sthalams) representing the Mahābhūta or five great elements; this temple represents the element of water, or neer in Tamil.The sanctum of Jambukeswara has an underground water stream and in spite of pumping water out, it is always filled with water

It is one of the 275 Paadal Petra Sthalams, where all of the four most revered Nayanars (Saivite Saints) have sung glories of the deity in this temple. The temple has inscriptions from the Chola period.There were two Siva Ganas (Siva’s disciples who live in Kailash): ‘Malyavan’ and ‘Pushpadanta’. Though they are Shiva Ganas they always quarrel with each other and fight for one thing or other. In one fight ‘Malyavan’ cursed ‘Pushpadanta’ to become an elephant on earth and the latter cursed the former to become a spider on earth. The elephant and the spider came to Jambukeswaram and continued their Shiva worship. The elephant collected water from river Cauvery and conducted ablution to the lingam under the Jambu tree (Eugenia jambolana) daily. The spider constructed his web over the lingam to prevent dry leaves from dropping on it and prevent sunlight directly falling on it. When the elephant saw the web and thought it was dust on lingam. The elephant tore them and cleaned the lingam by pouring water and the practice continued daily. The spider became angry one day and crawled into the trunk of the elephant and bit the elephant to death, killing itself. Siva, in the form of Jambukeswara, moved by the deep devotion of the two, relieved them from the curse. As an elephant worshipped Shiva here, this place came to be known as Thiru Aanai Kaa (thiru means holy, aanai is elephant, kaa (kaadu) means forest https://ramanisblog.in/2013/03/31/temple-where-the-priest-becomes-sivas-wife-thiruvanaikaval/

The Vedas are the Scriptures of the Hindus, transmitted Orally for over Five Thousand years.

 

These are Four in Number and each of them are divided into Four portions,

Samhita,which consists predominantly of Hymns.   Bahmnanas, which mainly speak of duties to be performed by a House-holder,

 

Aranyakas, which contain instructions to be followed when one retires to forest and meditates on The Reality and

 

The Upanishads, which are inquiries into the Nature of the elf and/Reality.

 

For more on Vedas please read pots filed under Indian Philosophy/Hinduism.   Samhitas mean ‘Compilation of Knowledge.’

 

 The Samhitas andBrahmanas form the Karma-Kanda segment of the Vedas and deals with ceremonial rites and rituals, whilst the Aranyakas and theUpanishads form the Gyan-Kanda segment of the Vedas and focus on philosophy and spiritualism.

 

The Samhitas form the first part of each of the four Vedas. As Samhita is the collection of the mantras, so sometimes Samhitas are referred to as Mantras. Most of these mantras or hymns are concerned with nature and deities.

 

The Samhitas are named after the Vedas they belong to, for example Rig-Samhitas or Rig-Veda-Samhitas will refer to Samhitas ofRigveda.

Rig-Samhitas consist of mantras known as Richas.

Sam-Samhitas consist of mantras in the form of songs, which are meant for liturgy.

Yajur-Samhitas consist of mantras composed in the form of poems and prose.

Atharva-Samhitas consist of mantras meant for routine rites and rituals.

Every Veda contains Mantras / Suktas   सूक्त sUkta n. Vedic hymn 

सूक्त sUkta n. song of praise 

सूक्त sUkta adj. well or properly said or recited

सूक्त sUkta adj. well said 

सूक्त sUkta n. wise saying 

 Vedic Suktas: 

A Suktam is a part or portion of Vedic verses in praise of a Deity or group of Deities to please accordingly, and to have a desire fulfilled.

 

Many Suktas are simple Prayers without any specific mundane goal, the goal being Self Realization.

 

Each Mantra is of any of these three types.

 

Rik- Metrical and obeys one of any 100 defined Meters, Verse of Illumination.

 

Yajur Mantra is Prose.

 

Sama is detailed rhythmic  singing of A Mantra.

 

Rig Veda and Atharva Veda have only Rks.

 

Yajur has both Rk and Yajur(Prose)

There are common verses in both Rig Veda and Yajur Veda Samhitas.

 

Rig Veda Samhita.

 

“This is the oldest Vedic text, as also the largest.

 

It comprises of 10552 mantras in 1028 hymns (=Suktas).

 

The hymns are divided amongst 10 books called the ‘mandalas’.

 

Mandala 9 has 114 hymns address to Soma. Mandalas 1 and 10 are considered later additions, for most part.

 

The Rigveda Samhita is often also divided into 8 parts called ‘Ashtakas’ which are further divided into 8 chapters each.

 

Thus, there are 64 chapters according to this classification, which is later than the Mandala scheme’.

 

Sama Veda Samhitas have 1875 Riks.

Many of us find ourselves in a confused state of Mind, not knowing what exactly we want or what we are suffering from.

I have received quite a few mails in the past few days, highlighting this, seeking relief.

This state is characterized by self-doubt, low self-esteem,fear of future,worrying about others comments,diffidence, concern about health, Relationships…….

First thing one has to bear in mind is that the Mind is what we make of it.

Mind is simply a mechanism to receive inputs and it can not decide.

When one gets a knocking, be it a loss of job, loss of a beloved, ridicule, the ind immediately jumps to the wost possible scenario and recollects only the ba times one has undergone and not the pleasant times.

At such moments one has to remain stead fas by not allowing the mind to dwell on misfortune.

Mind is of a lower order than Intellect and it is the Intellect that should guide us and not the Mind.

Indian Philosophy calls the Intellect as Buddhi, the ability to discriminate from what is good, bad,correct, incorrect.

So one has to be aware of this.

To begin with one should surround oneself with those who have a positive frame of Mind and have a Happy-go-lucky attitude to Life.

Never allow anyone who is a whiner near you.

And do not try to find the reason for the misfortune now, the time for it is later.

If you have a drinking habit, get rid of it.

Have a Balanced food.

Do not bother about criticisms.

If one were live by what others say, One can never live.

The world will talk ill of you irrespective of the fact whether you are well off or otherwise.

And do not try to think too much about Life and problems.

Think positively and take the net step boldly(what you think is right/correct)

To reinforce this attitudes and provide mental strength to weather any mental problem I am providing the following Mantras.

Sloka text at https://ramanisblog.in/2015/07/01/mantra-sloka-for-relieving-confused-mind-decision-making/

“In the Rajatarangini Kalhana mentions that Vikramaditya, the emperor of India, whose capital was Ujjain sent Metrigupta to be the ruler of Kashmir, which was included in the empire of the former…

The above slokas mean to this effect:- “After the completion of three thousand years in Kali (101 B.C.),for the destruction of the Sakas and the propagation of the Aryan Dharma, by the command of Siva, from the abode of the Guhyakas in Kailasa, a personage will be born (to Gandharva Sena, the king of Ujjain). The father gave the child the name of Vikramaditya and rejoiced. Even as an infant he was very wise and gladdned the hearts of the parents. At an early age of five years. he retired to a forest to do penance,. Having spent twelve years in meditation, he achieved spiritual eminence and returned to his city called “Ambavati” or Ujjain. On the eve of his ascending the throne adorned with thirty two golden statues, came a learned Brahmin and he delayed the coronation ceremony with a purpose to teach the king a history consisting of several episodes, wherein the rights and duties of a monarch are enumerated. Then the Brahmin taught the prince all the rights and responsibilities he owed to himself and to his subjects and gave him a befitting and an efficient training worthy of an adventurous Sovereign. Afterwards, in Kali 3020 year or B.C. 82 Vikramaditya was crowned king. Then he expelled the Sakas and drove them as far as Bactria, conquered the whole of Bharata country from Setu to the Himalayas, and received tribute from the feudatory kings…

 

In the west the other bank of the Sindhu River; in the South the Setu; Badarinarayana in the Himalayas formed the North limit and the city of Kapilavastu, the boundary in the East. These were the limits of Vikramaditya’s Empire.

Another sloka states,

“By the grace and command of Siva, Gandharvasena’s son, Vikramaditya reigned as Emperor, for hundred years. His son “Devabhakta” after ruling for ten years, was killed in a battle by the cruel Sakas.”(Kali 3130 or 29 A.D.)..

 

Vikramaditya.

 

Parthian invaded Sub-Continent in around 55 BC which brought Vikramaditya Vardhan’s Invasion in entire West Asia (Modern Day Middle East).

The victories of Babylon, Persia, Turks led him again to the Arabia and sounded the hour for attack on Arabia. When he conquered Arabia, he did so to cheers from the Jewish and Arab  Community, who welcomed him as a liberator. He showed great forbearance and respect towards the religious beliefs and cultural traditions of other races. These qualities earned him the respect and homage of all the people over whom he ruled.

The victory over Arabia expressed all the facets of the policy of conciliation which Vikramaditya had followed until then. He presented himself not as a conqueror, but a liberator and the legitimate successor to the crown. He took the title of “King of Aryavrata and Liberator of the Arabs, Turks and Jews”. Vikramditya had no thought of forcing conquered people into a single mould, and had the wisdom to leave unchanged the institution of each kingdom he attached to the Aryavrata Crown. Vikramaditya was upright, a great leader of men, generous and benevolent.  He spread the Vedic Culture in the land of Arabia. He also reconstructed the temple of Brahma and Mahesh and placed a Jiyotarlinga there. Several other Vedic Temples were made in Babylon, Persia and Turkistan.  For the first time they got a King that cared for the inhabitants of his Empire. Arabs, Kurds and Persians saw him as ‘the annointed of the Lord’.

After the 4 year of Wars that saw whole west Asia under the belt of Vikramaditya Empire he stayed for a year in Arabia till the Mahadev Temple was not completely reconstructed.

He built admirable highways, and developed an excellent postal system both of which allowed him to receive rapidly information from his provinces. https://ramanisblog.in/2014/12/27/vikramaditya-date-his-world-kingdom/

People are overtly concerned about this issue.

 

I am of the opinion that this is an unwanted concept imported from the west and is being used daily by every one to such an extent ,I have recently

 

found out that even a five-year old was saying that he is under tension.

 

My view is that it is a part of the body mechanism to survive and one need not be concerned about this.

 

On its own this stress or tension is productive if you do not dwell on it.

 

Start analyzing it you become miserable.

 

 

This is a mental condition reinforced by constantly thinking about it.

 

This process harms your physical and mental health and may even shorten your Life.

 

Ignore it, proceed with what you have been doing and enjoying.

 

This needs Practice and mental toughness.

 

However there are mantras for this in Hinduism .

Though this Mantra is not specifically meant for this, it is very powerful.

 

The Mantra brings in Peace, relieves Stress and prevents untimely death.

 

It also brings in wealth and power.

 

This Mantra was initially known only to Sukracharya, the Asura Guru.

 

The Devas got it by subterfuge from him by using Kacha, the son of his arch rival and Deva Guru, Bruhaspati .

 

This mantra was used to raise the Dead.

 

This was used by Sage Agastya to wake up Laksmana when he was struck with Mohasnastra by Inderjith in the Ramayana.

 

Mohanastra creates mental confusion and makes one lose Consciousness.

 

The physical Herb equivalent to this Mantra is Sanjivni, which Lord Anjaneya brought to revive Lakshmana.

 

For relief from Stress mental tension, Confusion and for better Health chant this mantra 108 times a day for 45 days.

 

For Self Realization, chant this Mantra  One lakh(100000) times spread over 45 days.The

 

Naivedya-Honey.

 

Other Rules for performing Mantras remain the same as for the Other Mantras(refer my post on Japa and the other mantras I have posted.

 

 

Mrita Sanjivini Mantra.

 

OM HAUM JUM SAH OM BHURBHUVAH SWAH OM TATSAVITURVARENYAM TRYAMBAKAM YAJAMAHE

URVAARUKAMIVA BANDHANAANMRITYORMUKSHEEYA MAAMRITAAT OM SWAH BHUVAH BHUH OM SAH

JUM HAUM OM .

 

Another variation of the Mantra is as follows :

 

OM HAUM JUM SAH OM BHURBHUVAH SWAH OM TRYAMBAKAM YAJAMAHE TATSAVITURVARENYAM

SUGANDHIM PUSHTIVARDHANAM BHARGO DEVASYA DHEEMAHI URVAARUKAMIVA BANDHANAAT

JUM HAUM OM .

 

For prevention of untimelydeath or Akal Mrityu, the Mantra with the Samput is as belo.

 

It is known as the Amrit Sanjivani Nidya Mantra.

 

 

Perfrom Abhisheka for Shiva Linga with pour sweet milk mixed with  water on the Shiva Linga, in a thin stream.

Of these on Mesapotamia, Sumeria, I have written about the link between Sanatana Dharma/Hinduism and Mesopotamia,Assyria and Sumeria.

I am mentioning only these because it is relevant to this article.

Santana Dharma was prevailing throughout the world,even before Lord Rama established his empire.

His ancestor Dileepa ruled the world as also Sagara,after whom the ocean was named as Sagar.

I am researching on Dileepa and Shall write.

Hinduism was present in Mesopotamia.

Lord Rama is mentioned in the Kings List of Sumerian,along with Dasaratha and Bharatha.

People of middle east followed the marriage vow Sapthapathi of Sanatana Sharma.

Lord Subrahmanya tribe is found in Iraq.(Peacock Tribe)

Lord Rama’s Chapel is in Iraq.

Gobekli Tepe Temple in Turkey was built by Brahmins.

Lord Narasimha,an Avatar of Vishnu was called Naram Sin.

Carvings of Rama and Hanuman are found in Silemania.

Rama was known as Ram Sin.

He ruled for sixty years.

The Cambridge Ancient History[xvi][iii] which is usually not considered as a sourcebook for Indian history by writers like Romila Thapar contains priceless information relevant to Indian ancient history. In the highly authentic Sumerian king list appears such hallowed names as Bharat (Warad) Sin and Ram Sin. As Sin was the Moon god Chandra Ram Sin can be seen to be same as Rama Chandra. Bharat Sin ruled for 12 years (1834-1822 BC), exactly as stated in the Dasaratha Jataka. The Jataka statement, “Years sixty times hundred, and ten thousand more, all told, / Reigned strong-armed Rama”, only means that Rama reigned for sixty years which agrees exactly with the data of Assyriologists. Ram Sin was the longest reigning monarch of Mesopotamia who ruled for 60 years. The mention of the father in the inscriptions of both Warad Sin and Ram Sin is noteworthy and may point to a palace intrigue. Joan Oates is not aware of the Ramayana but writes with great insight (p. 61) that Warad sin was manoeuvred to the throne by his father. In Mesopotamia, a prince normally became king only after the death of his father. Lakshmana, mentioned the Bible as Lakhamar, ruled as a great king.

OM, the Sacred Mantra of Hinduism is powerful and is capable of altering Genes, and when chanted properly and thrown in a Tonoscope shows the Image of Sri Yantra,  a special Geometric Pattern used by Hindus in worship.While A raises from the mouth,U from the throat, M raises from the stomach.

OM is used as a prefix of All Mantras.

It brings in Prosperity and helps concentrate the Mind and is used as a tool in Yoga.

Earliest reference to OM is found in the Rig Veda.

Now Rig Veda is dated around 1900 BC, though I am o the opinion that it should be around 5000 BC at the latest.

Lest the Heading of the Post may mislead, I am furnishing a comment and my reply.

Ramanan Sir The Sumerian prayer predates Vedas is not correct. Because Vedas are the oldest knowledge in the world. Sumerians were an Indian Colony in the Middle East. They were from Sumeru region of the Himalayas. the prayer period of 2600 b.c. is much after Mahabharat War which shattered Worldwide Common Vedic Empire Of India. So how anything can predate Vedas? Please give your comments Regards Shrirang Sudrik

Dear Shrirang, What I meant to convey was that the Sumerian Prayer’s reference to OM pushes the Date of the Vedas from 1900 BC by at least by 1000 Years, the Sumerian Prayer being dated at 2600BC. The article is meant to convey only this point.The post’s heading can be interpreted as you have observed,

As to Sumeria being part of the Sanatana Dharma, I have written quite a few article.I should improve.Why no calls for quite some time?Regds

(Date of Rig Veda has always been controversial as it is the oldest surviving literary work. Generally it is put at 1900 BC. Let us see how it came to that date and how experts differ on that date.)- Max Muller

Max Muller assigned the period 1500 BCE to 500 BCE for Rigveda Samhita. One of the reasons given is that beginnings of human kind cannot be earlier to 4000 B.C.E. Muller took particular care to ensure that the hypothetical Aryan invasion took place after the Biblical flood and he arbitrarily assigned a date of 1200 B.C to the Rig Veda, which is considered as the oldest among the four Vedas. Since the evidence was flimsy, he recanted his earlier assignment near the end of his life.

But the Religious practices of the Sumerians  refer to OM.

I have written on the early connections between the Sumerians and The Tamils of India and the probability of the ancestors of Sumerians and MU people being Tamils.

And Lord Rama , His Brother Bharata and King Dasaratha feature in Sumerian Kingslist!

“Those who recite the sound Om, (activates deathless Light in the body) and becomes radiant (amar su-ti-a)”

The mantra Om or “AUM” is typically associated with the Hindu tradition and is considered the primordial sound, one of the most ancient and sacred mantras. https://ramanisblog.in/2016/04/16/om-in-sumerian-prayer-2600-bc-predates-veda/

The first clues to these discoveries were gained by my observation that Menes (as he was called by the Greeks) or Manj (as he is usually called in his own Egyptian inscriptions) 1 appears in his due chronological position along with his dynasty in the official king-lists of the Early Aryans from the first king onwards, as preserved in the ancient Indian epic chronicles, the Puranas. In the latter he bears the name of Asa Manja, or " Manja the shooter " in the solar version of these lists, and Manasyu or Mawas-the-Uniter in the lunar version. 2 And the great Indian epic, the Maha-Bhaxata, in supplementing the Purana chronicle account, describes him as " Manasyu of the line of the Prabhu [Parda or ' Pharaoh '], the royal eye of Gopta [Kopt or Egypt] and of the four ends of the earth." 3 The Indian epic king-lists further record that he was the son and successor of the mighty world-emperor, King Kuni or Sha-Kuni or Sagara, whom I had fully identified with the Mesopotamian world- emperor, whose name is variously spelt Kin, Gin, Gani, Guni, or Shar-Guni, a name which is arbitrarily semitized by Assyriologists into " Sargon," in order to equate it with the Hebrew name " Sargon " of the much later notorious Semitic Assyrian king of that name in the eighth century B.C. who carried the Jews into exile, and from whom they dis- tinguish the former as " Sargon-the-Great." On comparing these Early Aryan king-lists with those of the Sumerians in Mesopotamia,* I observed that the latter documents also recorded in the self-same chronological position the dynasty of King Gin or Guni (" Sargon-the- Great "), bearing substantially the same names and titles as in the Indian lists and in exactly the same order ; and that the names and order from " Sargon's " son Manis onwards were identical with those of Menes' dynasty of Pharaohs on 1 See later. 2 See pp. ^i. 3 See p. 4 and App. I. 4 Kish Chronicle. MENES AS SON OF SARGON-THE-GREAT 3 their own Egyptian monuments. Menes or Manj in his Egyptian inscriptions usually bears the title of " Manj- the-Warrior," and in the Sumerian king-lists and in his own inscriptions in Mesopotamia, the son and successor of " Sargon-the-Great " is styled " Manis-the-Warrior." And the last king of this dynasty, bearing the same name in both Sumerian and Egyptian inscriptions, has his name signifi- cantly written on his own Egyptian inscription by the self-same Sumerian pictographic signs as in the Sumerian king-lists and in his own inscriptions as Sumerian emperor in Mesopotamia. Further comparison disclosed that Menes' father, " Sargon- the-Great," along with the latter's father and grandfather were identical in names and titles with the three Predynastic Pharaohs who immediately preceded Menes in Egypt ; and who have left there their records, seals or sealings in Sumerian script. And these identities are confirmed by their own Sumerian inscriptions in Egypt, and by their official seals in their Indus Valley colony, in which most of them bore also the title of " Pharaoh," and mention Egypt by name as being within their empire. Let us now examine the detailed proofs for these identities of Menes or Manj and his " predynastic " ancestors in Egypt with those of Manis and his immediate imperial Sumerian ancestors in their contemporary inscriptions in Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley and in the Indian epic records of the Early Aryan kings. Menes or Manis-Tusu as Manasyu the " Pharaoh of Gopta " (Egypt) in the Indian Epics The name of this Aryan king under the form of Manasyu is found in the lunar version of the Indo-Aryan King-Lists, and corresponds to the solar form of his name as Asa Manj as or Asa Manj a in the solar main-line lists in which he is No. 38 (see Table, p. 151) — the solar lists 1 being the most complete and in undisturbed chronological order. And " Sargon " in this Puru version is called Pra-Vira or " Foremost hero,".. https://ramanisblog.in/2017/03/12/menes-first-pharoah-son-of-sagara-solar-dynasty-india/
