Mleccha-Naga continuum paralleling Sanatana Dharma-eshadhammo

sanantano

continuum

 

 

 

http://docs.google.com/View?docid=ajhwbkz2nkfv_49fgccw3 The document,

Mleccha – Hindu, Bauddha, Jaina continuum has been updated based

substantially on the remarkable set of epigraphical, archaeological,

sculptural, numismatic evidences related to Naga contained the just

published book: RK Sharma, 2006, Naaga, the tribe and the cult,

Delhi, Aryan

Books International). The span of naga traditions is coterminus with

the

span of mleccha traditions. Naga traditions are found from

Takshas'ila to

Kamakshya, from Kashmir to Kampuchea. Mleccha are naga. A splendid

metaphor

is sculpted on a panel at Sonkh (Mathura):

This sculpted panel at Sonkh (Mathura) is the metaphor of the

Mleccha-Naga

continuum. Elsewhere, it has been established that the makara is a

combination of: crocodile, elephant (feet), and mollusc (tail) read

as:

mangar, ib, song; rebus: mengro 'smith', ib 'iron', sangha 'guild',

that is

iron-smith guild. Fish-tail is kola; rebus: kaula 'blacksmith'

(Gypsy). The

Naga emerging out of the jaw (cheek) of the elephant kavul.; rebus:

kaula

'blacksmith'; this sangha, guild is the clearest indication that

Nagavams'a

is part of the mleccha, kaula mengro (blacksmith in Gypsy language)

tradition which created the Sarasvati hieroglyphs and the

metallurgical

tradition of Sarasvati civilization. It is no coincidence that the

name of

the place is called Sonkh (cognate: sangha). [* kapo_la* cheek

These updates help answer the question: why Sanskrit inscriptions

(using

Siddhamatrka script, a variant of Brahmi) in Hinduised states of

southeast

Asia? Because, Samskr.tam was systematically promoted in the regions

dominated by Naga.

 

 

 

Another question is also answered: why are two rivers named a

Kaveri – one

which joins Narmada at Omkares'var and the other which flows through

Karnataka and Tamilnadu? Because, Naga, the hydraulic professionals

of yore,

worked with smiths to contribute to the evolution of bharatiya

traditions,

technology, ethos and civilization. Mleccha-Naga are the bedrock of

Bharatiya civilization, the jeevana-dhaara of Bharatiya samskriti.

We have

miles to go to study the languages spoken by Mleccha-naga (and, of

course,

vratya/yajnika) and the Naga traditions of hinduised states of

southeast

asia as Hindumahasagar parivar of a maritime-riverine heritage.
