Dr. Iyengar's work is restricted to only a few of the 150

astronomical observations recorded by Veda Vyasa and uses a variant

Telugu text.

 

SR Rao conceded in the colloquium held in January 2003 that further

marine archaeological explorations are needed in Dwaraka since his

initial work did not go beyond the shallow seas.

The following key dates are found to be consistent with almost all

of the sky inscriptions observed by Veda Vyasa and using the

critical edition of the Mahabharata of Bhandarkar Oriental Institute:

 

Krishna's departure on Revati Sept. 26, 3067 BCE

Krishna's arrival in Hastinapura on Bharani Sept. 28, 3067 BCE

Solar eclipse on Jyeshtha amavasya Oct. 14, 3067 BCE

Krittika full moon (lunar eclipse) September 29, 3067 BCE

War starts on November 22, 3067 BCE (Saturn in Rohini, Jupiter in

Revati)

Winter solstice, January 13, 3066 BCE

Bhishma's expiry, January 17, 3066 BCE Magha shukla ashtami

A fierce comet at Pushya October 3067 BCE

Balarama sets off on pilgrimage on Sarasvati on Pushya day Nov. 1,

3067 BCE

Balarama returns from pilgrimage on Sravana day Dec. 12, 3067 BCE

On the day Ghatotkaca was killed moon rose at 2 a.m., Dec. 8, 3067

BCE

 

Thus, the research of Dr. Narahari Achar and Prof. Srinivasa

Raghavan are more comprehensive. Dr. Achar also makes a brilliant

contribution by recognizing the references to comets as planet

families in texts which have been dismissed earlier by some scholars

as 'astrological' in nature.
