PETROGLYPHS ON DOLMENS

AND BHARATA

The Hindu on September 20,2009 published the article

Dolmen with petroglyph found near Villupuram im Tamilnadu.

The big dolmen with four petroglyphs portray men with tridents

and a wheel. Earlier dolmens were discovered in the Nilgiris

(The Hindu ,May 24,2009) with fish pattern glyphs. What does these

discoveries indicate? Does these glyphs carry any Harappan

links?

Let us begin with the number of glyphs itself. The four glyph

words is an indication of pada(paada-four)-bhadra(pada-word,vaca-speech) = bhadra paada =bhadra vaaca(auspicious speech),bhadra vaasa

(safe abode,palace). The warriors with tridents and weapons further

indicate this. This is the principle of the svastika,the unicorn ,the cross

etc. as indicated in A concise Dictionary of Indus Harappan Bharata.

The fish is bhadra (bharata- praata dawn).A paatra(vessel-praata) or

cashaka(cup=ushas-dawn) can have the same implication.Pareta(dead) is

praata. The pyramids(pramiita- dead body,prabhaata-praata-dawn)

were

built and the dead body of the sons of the sun(Pharaohs) wereworshipped to perform solar worship by the same logic. Bharad-vaaja

and Phara-oh has similar meanings of big house. The tomb is the

abode of the great ka or soul(sol).The fish is the dead

body of the sacrificial victim. Matsa(fish) is the masta(head) of the

viirabhadra(vaara,niira- bhadra =water buffalo) signifying the

preta(pareta-praata) or sacrificed victim. The fish on the cross

further confirms this.Note the terms smasaana(matsa) indicating

samaadhaana(peace-RIP) , mastaba (matsa) etc.

The Sumerian symbol for dingir(god) is the crossed spears. Twocrossed spears make the four feet of the svastika or the cross

itself. Dingir is dinakara(the sun).Sumeris Tamil.

Suula(trident) is suura(the sun).It is the figure of Ka(soul,sol).

Naaka(arrow) is naga(the sun) and heaven. Ina (the sun) being yama

(two) two trident or arrow symbols are shown crossed or separately

to show the sun god.In the Kalibangan seal K-65 the crossed spears

indicate the same.

Aayudha(weapon) is udaya(sunrise). Dvaya(two) is also udaya.

Gift amounts are usually given as 101,501,1001 etc. to make a

dvaya by the addition of one for the same reason. Since naga

rise into naaka at praata the soul of the pareta goes into heavenat praata with him. Soul is the sol.

Prakaasa (light-white) is raksha(salvation) , rakta(red,blood) and

cakra(wheel) and Sakra(Indra) as already discussed in Bharata the

languge of theHarappansand A concise dictionary of Indus

Harappan Bharata.

During a sacrifice raksha is ensured by sprinkling the rakta of the

victim on the participants or drinking it cf. the

Passover blood sprinkling by Israel(Indra) in Egypt(Pisces-

fish),the Eucharist etc. The sprinkled holy water(bhadra-light) alsohas the same implication.

Rakta raksha of the dead souls would be washed away by rains and

hence permanent raksha was ensured by the red ochre (rakta)or

white kaolin(rajata) paints on the dolmens.On the other hand the

dead soul cannot come out of the grave because of the raksha

(restraint) imposed on it by the rakta.This is the principle employed

in applying red rakshas or amulets to perform bandhana(restraint)

of ghosts.

On the Mylaaduthurai stone celt also the inscription is in Bharata.

All these finds belong to the period when the sons of Sumer

(Tamil) after their sojourn in Harappa proceeded south and

began settling in South India.During their stay in Harappa they

mastered the language of the devas(gods ie. Bharata) and began

using the Bharata worship and ritual systems also.

Thus the stone celt ,the petroglyphs etc. reconfirm the fact that

the Harappan Bharats spoke Bharata and the elite Dravidian

people also learned and used it.
