Guest guest Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Dear Sunil-ji, Khona / Khana is very well known in Eastern part of India. And somehow Bengal / Orissa / Assam puts claim ownership over her. In Bengal, somewhere near Midnapore, there are mounds known as Khanaar Dhipi (Dhipi - mound). The legend says that pithy sayings by Khanaa (Known as Khanaar Vachan) can never be wrong. Probably a 'Mihire-er Dhipi' also exists side by side. regards Chakraborty Sunil Bhattacharjya [sunil_bhattacharjya] Friday, April 17, 2009 4:53 AM Cc: indiaarchaeology; Re: varaha mihira Dear Kishoreji, - http://www.aryabhatta.net/Varahamihira.html Tradition says that Varaha's daughter-in-law Khona was a girl from Bengal / Assam (Pragjyotishpur). There is a good possibility that Varaha himself was from Bengal / Assam (Pragjyotishpur). Secondly I find it difficult to agree with the calculations as the the first point in Ashwini for equinoctal consideration is 13 degree and not 1 degree. Regards, Sunil K.
