"This Pr.thivi was without hair earlier." (S`ata-patha Brahman.a 2:2:4:3) "This Pr.thivi is like the back of the tortoise." (Maha-bharata, S`anti-parvan 300:6) {cf. Amerindian mythic earth as turtle} "Even modern physicists use similar analogy when they say that black holes do not have hair meaning that field lines can not emerge form a black hole." {the red-shift in quasars is supposedly due to vibration of light being slowed – cf. the slowness of the tortoise.} |

(R.c Veda 10:90:15) {related to the 21 times that the ks.atriya varn.a was exterminated according to the Puran.a?} {might the "firelogs" have a relation to the primaeval vibrating wooden rod of Yaki (in Sonora) cosmology, and to the primaeval hollow tree emitting a humming sound of Papuan cosmologies? -- and might the three have a relation to the 3 possible tones of Yoruba (and other West African languages) vowels?} |

here is an alternative explanation of Vis.n.u (& of Makha)
|
his is (according to R.c Veda 1:155:6 – VM, p. 38) a wheel of 4 "names" * 90 -- |
cf. 4 phases of alternating-current cycle, each phase of 90 degrees |
|
those 90 being horses. |
cf. "horsepower"? |
|
according to AB 1:30 (OST, p. 129), "Vis.n.u is the door-keeper of the gods" |
cf. a shunt on an electronic circuit |
|
by means of emmets gnawing into the tense bowstring, the head of Vis.n.u became (according to S`B 14:1 – HIPh, vol. 2, p. 536) the sun. Vis`va-karman took "the head of a horse, brought it before the Devas and fixed it on the headless body of Vis.n.u." (DBhP 1:5:106-112) Thus Vis.n.u became Haya-griva |
on the sun there are sunspots, which rotate [similarly to a wheel] – caused by a force [tension] |
|
in PB 7:5:6 (OST, vol. 4, p. 129), however, its is the head of Makha (rather than of Vis.n.u) which is transformed (in the pravargya), as likewise also in TA 5:1:1-7 (OST, vol. 4, p. 128), in which latter case this being the result of his (Makha’s) smiling concerning the emmets |
the place of the valmika (‘emmet’) is the source of the rainbow (according to the MS – V, p. 5) – likewise according to Australia lore, the rainbow-god inciteth "green" emmets (BC, pp. 378-382) |

here is an alternative explanation of : "Directions are enclosed metres." & "Directions have properties of iron."
|
metres, as used in poe:tic diction, are encoding-devices |
encoding-devices may be responsible for the "illusion" of physical structure |
|
directionality may be defined by orientation of magnetic (and other) force-fields |
directionality in the "illusion" of physical structure may be dependent on the relations among the same encodings |
here is an alternative explanation of : "Speech has four quarters ... . Three of them are hidden".
|
the 3 hidden aspects of poe:tic diction may be : metre, accent (tone), and punctuation |
these aspects may create akas`a (aither, space) as an "illusion" |
here is an alternative explanation of : "three brilliant forms of Agni."
|
the "one who eats was placed where death is inevitable" |
this may be the warmth of one’s living physical body |
|
"the other two went in sibling spaces." |
these may be one’s "sun" (one’s soul, at the solar plexus) and the luminiferous aura (around one’s body) |
here are alternative explanations of some animals and of several deities
|
"Avi (sheep) particle is given this name, because this particle closely resembles field." (p. 118) |
magnetic field-line |
|
"As`va (horse) particle ... of the fast speed of horse." (p. 118) |
cosmic ray |
|
Trita (‘3rd’) |
tritium (nucleus) |
|
Gandharva (singer) |
phonon |
|
Ekata (‘1st’) |
ordinary hydrogen (nucleus) |
|
Dvita (‘2nd’) |
deuterium (nucleus) |
|
A-ja Eka-pad (‘uncreated one-foot’) |
ground-state (lowest energy-state) [as in supercondustors] |
|
gau (cow) having 1, 2, 4, 8, or 9 legs |
quasiparticle having fractional charge |
here is an alternative explanation of Varun.a (& of Mitra)
|
Varun.a’s net which catcheth people |
gravitational field |
|
"everything that is black belongs to Varun.a." |
black = absence of electro-magnetic energy, but allowing gravitaion |
|
Mitra |
co-gravitation |
|
Aryaman [in later literature described as god of the galaxy] |
undiminishable minimal gravitational field (of quantum nature, but macroscopic) |
here are an alternative explanations of Soma et al.
|
Soma as psychoactive drug |
mental energy (psychic, not physical) |
|
Dadhi-an~c, whose head rejoined his body |
"walk-in" (capacity to enter the bodies of non-conscious persons during transvection) |
|
2 As`vin-s as clothing |
perispirit & aura |
|
Surya |
soul |
here is an alternative explanation of Indra
|
"Everyday Indra removed half the people". |
half-life in radioactivity |
here is an alternative explanation of Rohita
|
Varun.a is able by means of Rohita to gratify Harit-candra’s wish. |
gravitation is able, by means of a waterfall, to rotate water-wheel. |
|
Ajigartta [= Agartha, the underground system of tunnels] sought to immolate his own son, but that son was freed. |
Coal, mined out from underground tunnels, may be sought to pollute the world with coal-dust, but alternative energy-sources will become available. |
here is an alternative explanation of Sarama
|
[having been fed milk by the Pan.i-s, Sarama later vomited that milk] |
