Guest guest Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 The story of Syamantaka Gem appears in the Vishnu Purana and the Bhagavata. The jewel originally belonged to the Sun god, who wore it around his neck. It was said that whichever land possessed this jewel would never encounter any calamities in the form of natural disasters in the form of droughts, floods, earthquakes or famines, and would always be full of prosperity and plenitude. Wherever the jewel remained, it would produce for the keeper eight bhÄras or almost 1.5 Tons of gold daily[1] (Note: One Tola=11.7 grams; 8 tolas = one Pala or 93.6 grams; 2000 Palas= one Bhara or 187,200 grams / 1000 grams = 187.20 Kilograms is a Bhara; 8 Bharas = 1,497.6 Kilograms. So Syamantaka produced about 1.5 TONS of gold income daily).[2]. It was also the source of the dazzling appearence of the Sun god. In Jyotish and Navaratna ruby is the Sun's gem, so this indicates that Syamantaka gem was a ruby. New Email names for you! Get the Email name you've always wanted on the new @ymail and @rocketmail.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Dear Mr Brown Greetings The following page might give you the exact idea of the actual weight of " Bhaar " http://www.geocities.com/reldictionary/dictionary/page-M/measure- weight.htm Besides Ruby is for Sun god, not given by Sun god. Syamantak gem was given by Sun god. Are you guessng that a good astrological Rub will give you so much gold?

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Thanks. I'm not suggesting anything about rubies. I'm quoting Bhagavat-Puranam about Syamantaka, which was probably a ruby (if people mistook Satrajit to be the Sungod when he wore the gem) as ruby is the Sun's associated gem.
