Chozhas Were In North , permanently Settled in South In Dwapara Yug?

In my earlier articles, I had explored the references to Chozhas in Sanskrit literature, Ramayana, Mahabharata and the references to Kings mentioned in Chozha inscriptions in Thiruvalankadu Copperplates of Chozhas. Chozhas,as in anywhere else where they recorded, mention in these Copperplates that they are the descendants of Suryavansh, Ikshvaku Dynasty and they list the names. These names agree with the list provided Puran,( some discrepancies are found and they are very minimal; I had written on this point .).

History of South Indian Kings ,List Verified Dates From 5100 CE

As one can see in the excerpts provided below , one may find that Uparichara was a king in Dwapara Yug , Cholavarman, grandson of Dushyant and son of Bharat ,was the first Chozha King.And his grandson Perunarkilli was the first King in Kaliyug.

Now comes intriguing part. Cholas are reported to have ruled in South. Yet we find that Muchukunda Chozha and Sibi having been present in the North of Vindhyas. Sibi is reported to have built the Pundarikaksha Temple at Thiruvellarai near Sri Rangam in Tamil Nadu.Again we find Muchukunda Chozha is referred to in Ramayana and he is reported to have lived in present Hyderabad India.He helped Krishna, who lived in Dwapara Yug, kill Kala Yavan, who was a Greek!

From the genealogy it transpires that the Earliest Chozha kings seem to have been present in the North of Vindhyas , annexed and ruled the areas of South. Sibi is referred to as Sivi in the North and he ruled from there.

The Cholas seem to have settled in South permanently after Dwapara Yuga and their hold in the North seem to have waned.

It was King Chitradhanvan, of Ikshvaku) Chola Dynasty. Chitradhanvan’ s great grandson was the last King in Treta Yuga.’His son was Narendrapati who became king at the end of the Treta age. His son was king Vasu entitled Uparichara on account of his having received a celestial car from Indra by which he moved about in all directions (v. 39). https://ramanisblog.in/2020/08/07/chola-kings-list-treta-yuga-ikshvaku-tamil-copper-plates-evidence/

Krishna Kills Kalayavana Helped By Rama’s Ancestor

On checking up the Suryavansh, Solar Dynasty to which Sri Rama ,one comes across interesting and daunting facts.The predecessors of Sri Rama were quite famous and some of them like Raghu,Dileepa and Aja conquered the world.Sri Rama’s father Dasaratha appears in the Sumerian Kings List along with Sri Rama and Bharatha.I am yet to find out the identity of Bharata after whom Bharatvarsha is named. There are two Bharatas,one Sri Rama’s brother and another Dushyanth’ s son Bharatha.

Be that as it may, let’s explore another daunting information found in the Ikshvaku Dynasty.

Mandhata is recorded as the seventeenth King of Ikshvaku Dynasty,while Sri Rama is the Fifty first,separated by 34,000 years! This is based on the life span of people who lived in Treta Yuga ( which is about 1 .3 Million years ago), as 1000 years.

‘https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancestors_of_Rama

Sri Rama ruled in Treta Yuga: so was Mandhata,his ancestor.Mandhata had a son Muchukunda.

Muchukunda is recorded to have helped Sri Krishna to kill Kalayavana, a Greek king,Yavana is from the word Ionia,Greece.

Reference and citation.

Kalayavan was undefeated and unmatched in battle due to a boon, but he was also merciless and cruel. He learns that Krishna is the only person who can defeat him in battle and accepting this challenge sets out to invade Krishna’s kingdom, Mathura. When the two armies faced each other in battle, Krishna dismounts from his chariot and starts walking away, followed by Kalayavan. After a long time Krishna, followed by Kalayavan, enters a dark cave. In this cave Muchukunda was sleeping since the time he was blessed by king of deities.

The person on whom Muchukunda’s gaze falls is doomed to instantaneous death. Kalayavan in a fit of anger and unable to see in the dark attacks Muchukunda mistaking him to be Krishna. When Muchukunda opens his eyes, his gaze falls on Kalayavan who is immediately burnt to death.

According to Hindu mythology, Muchukunda was an ancestor of Sri Rama, who belonged to Treta Yuga. Sri Krishna appears towards the end of Dwapara Yuga. So, Muchukunda is asleep for a long time. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muchukunda

The issue here is Sri Krishna belonged to Dwapara Yuga’s closing period. Treta Yuga and beginning of Dwapara Yuga is separated by 8,64,000 years.

This poses couple of questions.

How could one( Muchukunda and Kalayavana) live for over such a long period of Time,while other Kings of Treta Yuga lived only for the declared 1000 years.This means the information about Mandhata and Muchukunda was deliberate and people knew there is this discrepancy of longevity.

Hence this means some were endowed with longer life than others.

And there is mention of People not belonging to earth visiting and people from earth visiting locations other than earth.Mandhata was christened by Indra of Indra loka ,which is reported to be another plane of Existence.

There is also this issue of the First DNA being spewed by Shiva Linga on earth.

And the theory that Time is Cyclic and not Linear is now backed up by Quantum.

So there are these options.

1. Some people were able to live beyond the average lifespan.

2.People from locations other than earth visited earth and from earth people visited other places.

3. Time in cyclic.

Of these three options,our present knowledge proves Time as Cyclic is proved.

Am probing other options.

If I do not understand something that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Or it is a Myth.

Krishna Enemy Greek King Kalayavana Killed By Tamil King

I have written about the Tamil Chola King Muchukunda and his identifying the Shiva idol from Indra.

The Seven temples of Shiva, the Sapthavidanga sthalas in Tami Nadu have these Lingas.

Please read my article on this.

Muchukunda lived in Hyderabad,India and helped Lord Krishna.

Muchukunda was a comtemporary of Lord Krishna and Kala Yavana.

‘

According to the Vishnu Purana and Harivamsa, Kalayavana was the son of a Brahmin named Ganga, and a Yavana princess. This legend appears to indicate an invasion from across the Himalayas, meaning one of the Central Asian, Middle Eastern or Ancient Greek provinces. After the invasion by combined forces of Jarasandha of Magadha, Kalayavan and their grand alliance, Krishna departed to build the city of Dvārakā amidst sea, transported all his people and left them there.

The legend goes like this: Lord Shri Krishna to save humanity from the evils of an yet another imminent battle with mighty Jarasandha flees Mathura [hence another name of Krishna, Ran-Chod Rai, one who fled war field] and moves his kingdom to newly builtDwarka. Kalayavan, who stood by Jarasandha chases Shri Krishna to Dwarka. Pretending to flee yet again from war field, Shri Krishna lures Kalayavana into the cave where the great king of Treta yuga, Muchukunda, one of the forefathers of Lord ShriRama was in a deep slumber of thousands of years after helping devas in an epic war with Asuras. Contemplating an absolutely undisturbed sleep he was given a boon that anyone who dared to disturb his sleep would get burnt to ashes immediately. Fast forward to Dwapara yuga, in the darkness deep inside the cave, Kalayavan mistakenly wakes up Muchukunda from his sleep, and sure to Muchukunda’s powers Kalayavan was decimated into ashes instantaneously with a fiery glance. And then Muchukunda was delighted to see Lord Shri Krisha there, who was none other than Lord Vishnu. Sri Krishna advises him to perform Tapas to cleanse the accumulated sins to attain Moksha (liberation). After meeting with lord, Muchukunda sets out of the cave. And the story narrates that he is astonished to see that all creatures had shrunken in size over time while he rested in cave, indicating long ages gone by. Muchukunda then goes north to Gandamadana Mountain and from there to Badrikashrama for doing penance and finally achieves liberation, the Moksha.

Kalayavana means a Black Greek/from Middle east.

Yavana is a term used from the Vedic times to denote Greeks,people from the middle east.

References to Yavana is found in ancient Tamil Literature , Vishnu Purana,HariVamsa and Silappadikarm in Tamil.

India imported horses from these areas and exported silk, Muslin,Diamonds, Emeralds ,Spices,Tigers, Elephants.

‘Experts say in the Edicts of Ashoka (c. 250 BCE) especially In the Gandhari Rock XIII : Antiochus is referred as “Amtiyoko nama Yona-raja” (lit. “The Greek king by the name of Antiochus”), beyond whom live the four other kings: “param ca tena Atiyokena cature 4 rajani Turamaye nama Amtikini nama Maka nama Alikasudaro nama” (lit. “And beyond Antiochus, four kings by the name of Ptolemy, the name of Antigonos, the name of Magas, the name Alexander”).

Dipavamsa , Mahavamsa and Sasanvamsa
Buddhist texts such as the Dipavamsa, Mahavamsa and the Sasanavamsa reveal that after the Third Buddhist Council, the elder (thera) Mahárakkhita was sent to the Yona country and he preached Dharma among the Yonas and the Kambojas.

Milindapanha
Another example is that of the Milinda Panha , where “Yonaka” is used to refer to king Menanders (160–135 BCE ) guards.

Mahabharata
The Vanaparava of Mahabharata contains verses in the form of prophecy complaining that “……Mlechha (barbaric) kings of the Shakas, Yavanas, Kambojas, Bahlikas etc. shall rule the earth (i.e India) un-righteously in Kaliyuga…” . This reference apparently alludes to chaotic political scenario following the collapse of dharmic dynasties in northern India and its subsequent occupation by non-dharmic hordes of the Yavanas, Kambojas, Sakas and Pahlavas etc.

Others
other Indian records describe the Yavana attacks on Saketa, Panchala, Mathura and Pataliputra, probably against the Sunga empire, and possibly in defense of Buddhism. The main mentions of the invasion are those by Patanjali around 150 BCE, and of the Yuga Purana, which, like the Mahabharata, also describes Indian historical events in the form of a prophecy:

Yavana in other cultures.

Egyptians used the word j-w-n(-n)-’
Assyrians used the word Iawanu
Persians used the word Yauna or Yavanu
Sri Lankans – used the word Yona in Mahawamsa and other historic texts.
In Biblical writings, the word was Yāvān (and still is, in modern Israeli Hebrew – יוון)
In Arabic and Turkish it is Yunan See Also Sanskrit Yoni

The history of Greece can be traced back to Stone Age hunters. Later came early farmers and thecivilizations of the Minoan and Mycenaean kings. This was followed by a period of wars and invasions, known as the Dark Ages. In about 1100 BC, a people called the Dorians invaded from the north and spread down the west coast. In the period from 500-336 BC Greece was divided into small city states, each of which consisted of a city and its surrounding countryside.

There were only a few historians in the time of Ancient Greece. Three major ancient historians, were able to record their time of Ancient Greek history, that include Herodotus, known as the ‘Father of History’ who travelled to many ancient historic sites at the time, Thucydides andXenophon.

Most other forms of History knowledge and accountability of the ancient Greeks we know is because of temples, sculpture, pottery, artefacts and other archaeological findings.

NEOLITHIC PERIOD (6000 – 2900 BC)

According to historians and archeological findings, the Neolithic Age in Greece lasted from 6800 to 3200 BC. The most domesticated settlements were in Near East of Greece. They traveled mainly due to overpopulation. These people introduced pottery and animal husbandry in Greece. They may as well have traveled via the route of Black sea into Thrace, which then further leads to Macedonia, Thessaly, Boeotia etc. The second way of traveling into Greece is from one island to another and such type of colonies has been found in Knossos and Kythnos..( http://www.ancientgreece.com/s/History/ )

There are attempts to distort history by saying that the term Yavana was derived from Ionia and that the term was not is use when the term was Yavana was coined.

Yavana is a name coined by the Vedic people with specific meaning and has no reference to Ionia for Ionia was named much later to the Vedic/Tamil Sangam period.

Obviously they could not have derived the term from Ionia.

To say that there was no Greek History then, is distortion of Facts s may be evidenced from the quote above.

Note that the predecessors to Greek civilistion,like the Minoans, were influenced by the Vedic civilization and Indian kings were ruling Minoans and there is also the Tamil connection.

Tamils Lived In Treta Yuga Muchukunda Proof

Kalayavana, an Asur(Asura means one who is mighty) who wanted to kill Lord Krishna, was killed by Mucukunda, because of the machinations of Krishna.

Muchukunda turned Kalayavana into ashes by looking at him.

Story given towards the end of the Post.

Muchukunda belongs to the Ikshvaku dynasty.

The Iksvahu Dynasty was founded by Ikshvaku at Kosala.

He is the son of Satyavrata Manu, who migrated from the South because of a Tsunami.

Please read my Post Rama’s ancestor Dravida.

Muchukunda was the son of Mandhata.

Muchukunda went to sleep and woke up during Dwapara Yuga, when he killed Kalayavana.

Now let us look at the time factor involved.

If Muchukunda was the ancestor of Rama,who was 37th in Line, while Mandhata was the 15th in the Treta Yuga.

This means that Muchukunda was hibernating between 1.2 Million and 2.59 Million Years because he went to sleep in the Treat Yuga and woke up in the Dwapara Yuga.

Now,

‘

Life in the universe is created and destroyed once every 4.1 to 8.2 billion years, which is one full day (day and night) for Brahma. The lifetime of a Brahma is believed to be 311 trillion and 40 billion years-Hindu Cosmology.

‘Eighty million years ago, India was approximately 6400 km (3968 miles) south of the Eurasian plate. Separating the two was the Tethys Sea. The Indo-Australian tectonic plate – containing the continent of Australia, the Indian subcontinent, and surrounding ocean – was pushed northward by the convection currents generated in the inner mantle. For millions of years, India made its way across the sea toward the Eurasian plate. As India approached Asia, around 40 million years ago, the Tethys Sea began to shrink and its seabed slowly pushed upwards. The Tethys Sea disappeared completely around 20 million years ago and sediments rising from its seabed formed a mountain range. When India and Tibet collided, instead of descending with the plate, the relatively light sedimentary and metamorphic rock that makes up the subcontinent of India pushed against Tibet, forcing it upwards, and created a massive mountain fold. ‘

( https://ramanisblog.in/2015/03/22/shiva-uma-wedding-agastya-to-south-40-million-years-tectonics-proof/ )

The Great flood happened much before Muchukunda’s time.

The four yugas make up a cycle called divya-yuga, which lasts 4,320,000 years. One thousand of these yugas equal one day of Brahma, which is called a kalpa. Brahma’s lifespan is 100 years of his time.

That is 432 Million years

Day for Brahma happens for 216 million years.

At the end of the day Pralaya, dissolution of the Universe by Flood happens.

Naimittika Pralaya, which is of 4,320,000,000 earth years, occurs just after the end of a Kalpa. Also, known as the Night of Brahma, it signifies the end of living world.

This implies that The Tamils were in existence in Treta Yuga itself as Muchukunda was alive then.

‘He is remembered in Hindu scriptures as a righteous and glorious king. In some versions, he is the son of Vaivasvata Manu (formerly the Emperor Satyavrata of Dravida), one of the two central characters along with the Lord Matsya incarnation of Lord Vishnu in the Matsya Purana. He is born to Manu after the deluge which sends the King’s ship to the top of the Malaya Mountains in the Dravida country.”

( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikshvaku)

The Malaya Mountains were a range of mountains that were mentioned in the Hindu sacred texts like Matsya Purana, the Kurma Purana, the Vishnu Purana,^[1] and the epics of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.

The Vishnu Purana specifically mentions it amongst the seven main chains of mountains in Bharata (ancient name of India), namely Mahendra, Malaya, Sahya, Śuktimat, Riksha,Vindhya, and Páripátra.According to the Matsya Purana, during the Great flood, the giant of boat of King Manu was perched after the deluge on the top of the Malaya Mountains.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaya_Mountains

These mountains are believed to have formed the southernmost part (Southwards starting from the Mangalore region) of the Western Ghats, modern day Kerala while the Northern part of the same was called the Sahya Mountains. . The peaks of these Malaya mountains were said to be higher than those of the Sahya Mountains. The Anaimalaiand Nilgiri form some of its higher ranges. Believably in the Ramayana and Mahabharata ages, and later in the period of recorded History, it might have been the junction of theChera and Pandya Kingdoms. Sangam Literature calls these mountains Pothigai.

Muchukunda.

Seeing him, KAlyavana came out filled with happiness. Seeing Krishna before him, the strong one followed him.

39. The lord of the Yavanas followed Govinda with the desire of capturing him, but he could not seize that great yoga-adept.

40. The celebrated and powerful king, Muchukunda, son of MAndhAtA, achieved great success in the battle between Devas and Asuras in the ancient times.

41. When the gods requested him to ask for a boon, he accepted sleep. He was extremely tired, and so the following words emerged from his mouth.

42. O gods! I will burn the person who wakes me up, with my eyes blazing with anger,” and he kept saying it again and again.

43. So, Shakra and the other gods said, So be it. Then he took permission of the gods and came to the king of the mountains.

44. The very tired king entered one of the caves and kept sleeping till the time he saw Krishna.

45. O king! NArada had told VAsudeva all about the boon he had received from the gods and his power.

46. Krishna, followed by that mleccha enemy, entered Muchukunda’s cave like a very humble person.

47. The intelligent Keshava stood near the head of the royal sage, Muchukunda, carefully avoiding the path of his vision.

48. The Yavana entered and saw the lord of the earth, sleeping and radiant like KritAnta (death). Then that most wicked one went towards him.

49. He, assuming the king to be VAsudeva, spurned him with his feet, just as the insect jumps into fire, bringing his own destruction.

50. The royal sage, Muchukunda, woke up on being kicked. He was very angry for being woken up and also for being touched by the feet.

51. Then, remembering the boon given by Shakra, he looked at him standing before him. As soon as he looked at him angrily, he burnt up entirely.

52. The fire erupting from the eyes of Muchukunda burned KAlayavana in a moment, just as lightning burns down a dry tree.

Muchukunda Helped Krishna.Lived In Hyderabad

Kalayvana, born of Sage Gargya,was a Dravidian King brought up by a Yavana King.

Gargya who had been insulted and ridiculed by the Yadavas. This brahmana went to the shores of the southern ocean and began to perform tapasya. His desire was a son who would be the scourge of the Yadavas. As part of the tapasya, he ate only iron dust for food. The tapasya went on for twelve years and at the end of it, Mahadeva was pleased. The brahmana obtained the desired boon.

He vowed to defeat Lord Krishna of Dwaraka.

Krishna found it difficult to defeat Kalayavan and resorted to a strategy and by this ingenious method had Kalayavana killed by Muchukunda , a Dravidian King.

Muchukunda was the King who received the Seven idols of Lord Shiva from Indra and had them established in them Seven places , called as Saptavidanga Sthalas of Shiva.

Please read my post.

”

Muchukunda Chakravarthi was a Tamil king.

Indra, the King of the Devas sought Muchukunda’s help in defeating the Asuras and was successful in defeating the Asuras.

Indra was extremely grateful to the king.

He offered the king a gift of his choice.

Muchukunda, asked for the lingam worshipped by Indra.

Thiruvarur Temple.Image.jpg — Thiruvarur Temple,A Saptha Vidanga Sthala by Muchukunda.

Indra did not want to part with his precious lingam, but the king wouldn’t accept anything else.

Indra decided on a deception, and showed Muchukunda seven lingams and asked him to choose the one he wanted.’

https://ramanisblog.in/tag/saptha-vidanga-sthala/

Muchukunda, son of King Mandhata, was born in the Ikshvaku dynasty.

He was the ancestor of Lord Rama.

He lived in the present Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh.

River Musi’s original name is Muchukunda River.

The Muchkunda river i.e.Musi River is a tributary of Krishna River in the Deccan Plateau region of Telangana state in India. It originates in Ananthagiri Hills of Rangareddy dist, the hills where Muchukunda had his long sleep.So, the river gets the name as that. It flows through a major portion of Hyderabad, India and divides the historic old city with the new city. It was known as Muchukunda river in olden days, this name was changed to Musi,which name is still in use today. The reason for change of original name “Muchukunda” is not known.

Kalayavana wanted to know the names of all the powerful on the earth from Narada. He was told the names of the Yadava kings. So he decided to attack the Yadavas. He collected thousands and thousands of chariots, horses, elephants and infantry. Then he came to Mathura to wage war.

Krishna was worried. He realized that the Yadavas would become weakened from their war with Kalayavana. And if Jarasandha’s attack came after that, the Yadavas might even lose at the hands of Jarasandha. On the other hand, if the Yadavas became weak from a war with Jarasandha, they might lose the war with Kalayavana. There was danger from both sides. It was, therefore, necessary to build a strong fort from where the Yadavas could wage a long drawn out war, even in the absence of Krishna. On the shores of the ocean Krishna, therefore, built the city of Dvaraka. There were many gardens and lakes in Dvaraka. But more importantly, it was surrounded by walls and moats on all sides and there were several forts inside the city. All the citizens of Mathura were brought to Dvaraka.

Krishna then appeared before Kalayavana. At the sight of Krishna, Kalayavana began to follow him, desirous of a fight. Krishna had a plan.
