This message relates to two sets of Sarasvati hieroglyphs: 1. fish

glyphs which occur 1241 times on the epigraphs and also on fish-

shaped incised tablets; 2. ten glyphs which constitute a message on

a monolithic signboard found at Dholavira.

 

 

 

The underlying sounds are lexemes of mleccha, in a linguistic area

of Sarasvati-Sindhu river basins circa 4th millennium BCE. The

language is attested in Mahabharata as the language used for

conversation between Vidura and Yudhishthira.

Dholavira Signboard: vis'vakarma tradition

 

 

 

The signboard with ten glyphs can be decoded as the repertoire of

metalcaster's workshop displayed on the northern gateway of the

fort. Dholavira village is called kotada (kot. = fort). It is

notable that out of these ten glyphs, the glyph denoting 'nave of

wheel' appears four times, virtually forming the divider of a three-

part message.

 

 

 

era, er-a = eraka = ?nave; erako_lu = the iron axle of a carriage

(Ka.M.); cf. irasu (Ka.lex.) era = nave of wheel (Kannada); ara_ =

spokes (R.gveda); rebus: ara, era = copper (Pali. Pkt.) aru = copper

(Akkadian)

 

 

 

Read from right to left, the message on the signboard is: 1.

mineral, moltencast coppersmith; 2. silver, native metal, bronze,

moltencast copper; 3. mint (workshop), copper (ore) and moltencast

copper.

Decoding Fish glyphs as Sarasvati hieroglyphs: vis'vakarma artisan

guild tradition

 

bhed.a hako = fish (Santali); rebus: bed.a = one end of a hearth

(Gujarati)

 

The fish glyph variants are also explained in the continuum of

Vis'vakarma metallurgical tradition.

 

Rebus code is a metaphor for an incipient writing system.
