1119 Online clickable MCQs Test No.962600 in General Studies & my personal Study on Abhiras and Yadavas from comparison of Ramayana & Mahabharata


Reference: valmiki ramayana. Book 6, Book of Forests- sundara kAnDa. Chapter 22. From Verses 31 to 42. English Translations courtesy: valmikiramayan.net, yuddha kAnDa. Telugu language script verses and gist have been added by me.

Context: Shri Rama was on the banks of Ocean, exploring ways to cross it. After praying Sea-God sAgara for three days, Shri Rama threatened the Sea God to use force against him. Rama fixed a mighty arrow called 'brahmAstra (Weapon of Creator) to his bow and was about to direct it towards Sea God. Sea God appeared before him, and prayed for his mercy. The Sea God after advising Rama to build a bridge over the Ocean, Shri Rama asked him about what he had to do with his fixed arrow "Creator's Weapon (BrahmAstra)". Then, the Sea God is replying Rama.

శ్రీరాముడు సముద్రము ఒడ్డున ఉన్నాడు. దానిని దాటి లంకకు చేరుకోవాలి. ముందు ప్రాయోప వేశము చేసి మూడు రోజులు గడ్డి చాపమీద పండుకుని సముద్రుడిని ప్రార్ధించాడు. తరువాత బాణాలను ప్రయోగిస్తానని కొన్ని బాణాలను ప్రయోగించాడు. సముద్రుడు వినలేదు. చివరికి బ్రహ్మాస్త్రాన్ని ఎక్కు పెట్టాడు. దానిని ప్రయోగించేలోపలే, సముద్రుడు భయకంపితుడై శ్రీరాముడి ముందుకి వచ్చి వారధిని నిర్మించుకోమని చెప్పాడు. శ్రీరాముడు తాను ఎక్కు పెట్టిని బ్రహ్మాస్త్రాన్ని ఏమి చేయాలని అడిగాడు. దానికి సముద్రుడు ఇచ్చిన జవాబు ఈ క్రింది శ్లోకాలు.

"Towards my northern side, there is a holy place. It is well known as Drumatulya, in the same way as you are well known to this world."

నాకు ఉత్తర దిశలో , ఒక పవిత్ర ప్రదేశం ఉంది. దాని పేరు ద్రుమకుల్య. నీవు జగద్విఖ్యాతుడవైనట్లే అదికూడ జగద్విఖ్యాతము.

"I am not able to bear that touch of those wicked people, the evil doers, O, Rama! Let this excellent arrow with out vain be released over them there."

నేను ఆ పాపుల, పాపకర్ముల స్పర్సను సహించ లేకపోతున్నాను. ఓరామా, నీవు నీ ఉత్తమ అమోఘ శరాలను వాళ్ళమీదికి ప్రయోగించు.

Hearing those words of the high-soled Ocean, Rama released that excellent and splendid arrow towards that place as directed by the ocean.

మహాత్ముడైన సముద్రుడి మాటలను విని రాముడు తన దేదీప్త శ్రేష్ఠ శరాలను సాగరుడు చూపిన ప్రదేశానికే విడిచాడు.

The place where the arrow, whose splendor was akin to that of a thunder and a thunder bolt, was descended by Rama- that place is indeed famous as desert of Maru [Maru—Malwar in Rajastan (India)] on this earth.

వజ్రసమానమైన కాంతితో పిడుగులా భూమిపై పడిన ఆ శరము, ఆ ప్రదేశాన్ని మరు కాంతారం (ఎడారి చిట్టడవి) గా మార్చేసింది. అదే, మరు. [అదే నేటి మల్ వార్, మర్ వార్ , మర్వాడ్. థార్ ఎడారి. రాజస్థాన్ లో ఉంది.]

The earth there, pierced by the dart, then emitted a sound . The waters of the penultimate subterranean region gushed forth from the mouth of that cleft.

ఆ బాణము చేత గ్రుచ్చబడి, అక్కడి భూమి పెద్ద శబ్దంతో పేలి, భూగర్భంలోంచి జలాలు ఉబికి వచ్చాయి.

Then the hollow became known as Vrana. Water constantly seen, gushing forth from it resembled seawater.

అప్పుడు, అక్కడ పడిన గొయ్యి ~వ్రణము~ అని పేరుతో తెలియ వచ్చింది. అందులో నుండి నిరంతరాయంగా వచ్చే నీరు సముద్ర జలం వలె ఉన్నది.

A terrific splitting sound was born in that place. Water was dried up in those cavities, as a result of hurling of that arrow by Rama.

ఆ ప్రదేశంలో భయంకరమైన శబ్దం వచ్చింది. శ్రీరామ బాణ జనితమైన ఆ గోతులలో నీరు ఇంకి పోయింది.

That desert of Maru became famous in the three worlds. Rama (the son of Dasaratha), a wise man and a valiant man resembling a celestial, made that cavity dried up and gave a boon to that desert of Maru.

ముల్లోకాల్లో , ఆ మరు ఎడారి ప్రఖ్యాతి పొందింది. వివేకవంతుడైన శూరుడైన దాశరథి ఆ గోతులను ఎండింప చేసి, ఆ మరు ఎడారికి ఒక వరాన్ని ప్రసాదించాడు.

Due to granting of a boon by Rama, that desert of Maru became the most congenial place for cattle rearing, a place with a little of disease, producing tasty fruits and roots, with a lot of clarified butter, a lot of milk and various kinds of sweet- smelling herbs. Thus it became an auspicious and suitable move, bestowing these merits.

శ్రీరామ వరప్రసాదం వల్ల మరు ఎడారి పశువులను మేపుకోటానికి అనువైన ప్రదేశంగా మారింది. (అక్కడి పశువులకు) జబ్బులు తక్కువ. పలు రుచికరమైన పండ్లు, కందమూలాలు దొరుకుతాయి. కావలసినంత నేయి (స్నేహం అంటే నెయ్యి). బోలెడు పాలు. సుగంధ భరితమైన ఓషధులు. అలాగా అది ఒక మంగళకరమైన సుగుణ వంతమైన ప్రదేశంగా మారింది.

ybrrao~a-donkey~s personal views, not intended to be imposed on others:

1. If Shri Rama~s creator~s weapon (Brahmastra) is so powerful to convert an area into a desert and so as to destroy the Abhiras, how Abhiras are able to survive even till 2019?

శ్రీరామునిచే ప్రయోగించబడిన బ్రహ్మాస్త్ర్రము భూమిని ఎడారిగా మార్చగలిగినంత శక్తిమంతమైనది అయితే, బ్రహ్మాస్త్రంతో ఆభీరులు నిర్మూలించ బడతారు అనే సముద్రుడి (@వరుణుడు) యొక్క నమ్మకము సరియైనది అయితే ఆభీరులు అనే వారు 2019నాటికి భూమిపై, భారత్ లో , రాజస్థాన్ గుజరాత్ సరిహద్దులలో బ్రతికి బట్టకట్టకూడదు. వారు పాపకర్ములైనా (సముద్రుడి ప్రకారం) లేక పుణ్యకర్ములైనా ఇతర మానవుల వలె జీవిస్తూనే ఉన్నారు కదా.

2. Abhiras survived even during Lord Krishna~s age i.e. dvApara yugA. In Mahabharata, after Lord Krishna and Balarama passed away and all the Yadavas were destroyed owing to curse of Sage, Arjuna who was in Dwaraka packed all the remnant wealth of Yadavas, and remaining Yadava women who did not commit Sati, to Hastinapur. Arjuna and his entourage was waylaid by Abhiras, and Yadava women were robbed of their jewellery etc. Arjuna could not protect the Yadava women, as he could not recall his powerful astras (arrows + magic chants). Assuming that the distance between Dwaraka and Hastinapura is about 1500km., it is not known exactly at what point, Arjuna and his entourage were robbed by Abhiras, assuming that the distance between Dwaraka and Hastinapur is about 1500km.

ఆభీరులు శ్రీకృష్ణుడు అవతరించిన ద్వాపర యుగంయొక్క ఆఖరి రోజుల వరకు, ఆ తరువాత కూడ ఉన్నారు. బ్రహ్మాస్త్రం వారినేమీ చేయలేకపోయింది అనే అనుకోవాలి. మహాభారతంలో, శ్రీకృష్ణ నిర్యాణం, బలరామ మహాభి నిష్క్రమణం తరువాత, సతీసహగమనం చేయని యాదవ స్త్రీలను, మిగిలిన యాదవ సంపదలను తీసుకొని, అర్జునుడు హస్తినాపురానికి బయలు దేరాడు. దారిలో అర్జునుడి బృందాన్ని, యాదవ స్త్రీలను ఆభీరులు అటకాయించి, నిస్సహాయుడైన అర్జునుడు చూస్తూ ఉండగానే, వారి సంపదలను దోచుకున్నారు. అర్జునుడికి తన బ్రహ్మాస్త్రంగానీ, పాశుపతాస్త్రం గానీ, ఇతర దివ్యాస్త్రాలు గానీ గుర్తుకు రాలేదు. అతడి బాణాలన్నీ ఆభీరుల ముందు వృథా అయ్యాయి. దీనికి కారణంగా చెప్ప బడే విషయము ఏమిటంటే, శ్రీకృష్ణ నిర్యాణానంతరము, అర్జునుడు తన పాశుపతము, బ్రహ్మాస్త్రము మొదలైన దివ్య శక్తులను కోల్పోయాడు. అతడి గాండీవము నిర్జీవము అయింది. అక్షయతూణీరము క్షయమయింది. అయితే హస్తినాపురానికీ ద్వారకకూ సుమారు 1500 కిలో మీటర్లు దూరం ఉందనుకుంటే, ఆ రథాల మార్గంలో కరెక్టుగా ఏ ప్రదేశంలో యాదవ కురు ప్రయాణీకుల బృందం పై ఆభీరుల దాడి జరిగిందో తెలీదు.

Question: There is an impression that Abhiras (or Ahirs) and Yadavas are same. Can it be true?
ప్రశ్న - ఆభీరులు (ఆహిరులు) యాదవులు ఒకటే అంటారు, నిజమేనా ?

Ans: According to my personal belief, if Abhirs and Yadavas belonged to same clan or caste, they would not have ignoring Arjuna, and his arrows, robbed Yadava women. On the other hand, they would have escorted them, at least for some distance, though not upto Hastinapur. If this robbery took place near Madhura (Uttar Pradesh ), or Kota (Rajasthan ), Abhiras might have heard about / or known Lord Shri Krishna, who spent his childhood there, and with a soft corner, they would have released Arjuna's entourage without inflicting any harm. But, there is a possibility. Abhiras and Yadavas might have been cognates or consanguineals. But in Valmiki Ramayana verses, I am unable to trace any references to Yadavas (my readers can help me). But, Abhirs by their survival instincts could overcome the impact of Brahmastra. This inference we can make by juxtaposing the contents of Valmiki Ramayana and Mahabharata.

జవాబు- నా వ్యక్తిగత అభిప్రాయం ప్రకారం, ఆభీరులు యాదవులు ఒకే తెగ లేక ఒకే వంశానికి చెందిన వారు అయితే, వారు అర్జునుడిని మాటలను బాణాలను పట్టించుకోకుండా యాదవ స్త్రీలను దోచుకోరు. వారిని సన్మానించి తాము కూడ ఆ బృందానికి కొంత దూరమైనా తోడుగా వచ్చి ఉండే వాళ్ళు. ఈ దారిదోపిడీ మధుర (ఉత్తర ప్రదేశ్) లేక కోట (రాజస్థాన్) ప్రాంతంలో జరిగి ఉంటే, ఆభీరులకు శ్రీకృష్ణుడి సంగతి తెలిసే ఉండాలి. వారు శ్రీకృష్ణుడి మీద భక్తి లేక గౌరవము తోనైనా అర్జునుడి బృందాన్ని వదలి వేసి ఉండే వాళ్ళు. అయితే ఒక అవకాశం ఉంది. ఆభీరులు మరియు యాదవులు దాయాదులు అయ్యే అవకాశాన్ని త్రోసి పుచ్చలేము. పైన వ్రాసిన వాల్మీకి రామాయణ శ్లోకాలలోగాని, వాల్మీకి రామాయణం లో మరెక్కడైనా గానీ, యాదవుల ప్రసక్తి నాకు కనిపించలేదు. ఆభీరులు మటుకు బ్రహ్మాస్త్ర్రాన్ని కూడ తట్టుకుని నిలబడ్డారు అనేది రెండు గ్రంథాలను మనం ప్రక్క ప్రక్క పరిశీలిస్తే ద్యోతకము అవుతుంది.

Question: Do you believe that our mythologies, over course of their journeys through centuries, might have exaggerated the capacities and powers of the magical chants which are used to bolster the arrows of Aryans. Y/N?

Ans: Possible. Temple preachers, Balled singers have a tendency to exaggerate the valor of their Protagonists.

793 How can a River be angry with ShUdras and AbhIras? Can Rivers be angry with castes and tribes?


Fads and idiosyncracies of monarchs and politicians, extend to their Governments, bureaucrats and State patronised Media, worldwide, throughout the World History. Some monarchs and politicians have come out openly with their whims and fancies and spent public monies, in satisfying their own fantasies. Dictators like Adolph Hitler, Napoleon, Idi Amin, Kim of North Korea had enforced their caprices with a jesuit like zeal, unmindful of the sufferings of the people. Problems exacerbate when, in a extremely poor country like India (Business persons and politicians may be billionnaires, but people are poor), when resources are squandered on wild-goose-chases.

EXAMPLEs



From 1991 to 2004, the HRD Minister of the BJP-1 Government, spent millions of Rupees on dredging the Arabian Sea at the Gulf of Khambhat,at a depth of 40 meters on Gujarat Coast. Some pieces of pottery were recovered and sent to labs in Europe for dating. What happened later nobody knows. Now in 2016, that Mr. Murali Manohar Joshi, having been nearly condemned to a sort of premature retirement (dust bin?), nobody knows the progress of the effort so far.

Between 1999 and 2004, Madhya Pradesh Government appointed a Special Committee to trace the route of the movement of Shri Rama, Lakshmana, and Sita, of Valmiki Ramayana, in the Madhya Pradesh Forests. What happened for the work of the Committee to trace the trail of ShriRam Forest Exile in Madhya Pradesh, I am unable to trace any thing.

Indians seem to believe that India is the Greatest country in the World, and like the practitioners and preachers of Christianity and Islam, who believe that theirs are the Greatest Religions in the world.

There are many beliefs in India, pertaining to the Legendary / Mythological River Saraswati, which is said to have disappeared into sands of Thar Desert in Rajasthan State, or that it started flowing underground along the path of Ganga and Yamuna Rivers and merges with them at Allahabad (Prayag), called Triveni Sangam (Confluence of Three Rivers).

At least four States seem to believe that Saraswati River flowed through their lands-- 1) Punjab 2) Hariyana 3) Rajasthan 4) Uttar Pradesh.

Hariyana State Government is said to be spending Rs. 600 million on digging out the Vedic River Saraswati, which is believed to have disappeared in the Thar Desert, Rajasthan.

Beliefs regarding Saraswati River can also be funny. As usual, the Four Caste System (cAtur varNa) enforced by the White Aryan Immigrants, and their scriptures, sometimes containing ugly references to the lowest castes-- SUdrAs and the Tribes. We shall take up three verses from the Largest Indian Epic Sanskrit Mahabharata, by Krishna Dvaipayana Vyasa (popularly called Vyasa).

EXAMPLE FROM INDIAN SANSKRIT EPIC VYASA MAHABHARATA



Salya036 001
vaiSampAyana uvAca
tato vinASanam rAjann AjagAma halAyudhah-
SUdrAbhIrAn prati dvEshAd yatra nashTA sarasvatI

036 002 yasmAt sA bharataSrEshTha dvEshAn nashTA sarasvatI-
tasmAt tad rishayo nityam prAhur vinaSanEti ha


036 003 tac cApy upaspriSya balah sarasvatyAm mahAbalah-
subhUmikam tato agacchat sarasvatyAs taTE varE


Ganguli's English Translation of the above Verses (approx.): "...Vaishampayana said, 'Then Balarama , proceeded to VinAsana where the Sarasvati has become invisible in consequence of her contempt for Sudras and Abhiras. And since the Sarasvati, in consequence of such contempt, is lost at that spot, the Rishis, for that reason, O chief of the Bharatas, always name the place as VinAsana. ...' "


CONTEXT IN MAHABHARATA


Vyasa Mahabharata has 18 volumes, called 'parvas'. Out of these five volumes directly deal with the Mahabharata War. They are: 6. Bhishma Parva, 7. Drona Parva 8. Karna Parva 9. Salya Parva 10. Sauptika Parva.

Our above verses are from the Salya Parva, Chapter 036. By the end of the Salya Parva, Mahabharata War was nearly complete after 18 days.

Lord Balarama did not like all these happenings and went on pilgrimage of India, after telling his younger brother Lord Krishna.

During the pilgrimage, Balarama covered almost entire India. During his pilgrimage, Balarama visited Rajasthan-Hariyana Thar Desert Area. He also visited a place called 'VinASani or VinASana', the place where the Legendary River Saraswati was said to have disappeared (into sands).

WHY SHOULD A RIVER HATE SUDRAS AND ABHIRAS?



The reason given for the disappearance of Saraswati River in Mahabharata was funny. Saraswati had contempt (prati dvEshAd) towards SUdrAs (4th caste in the four caste System =caturvarna vyavastha). Hence, she was said to have disappeared. Abhiras were tribals dwelling in the Rajasthan-Gujarat-Hariyana Thar Desert Area. In those days, they might have earned their livelihood by indulging in robberies.

For that matter, almost all the Races, Religions, Tribes, Castes, Cults, Cultures etc. in the World indulged/indulge/are going to continue to indulge in stealth / robberies. Alexander was a Great Robber! Wherever he invaded, he plundered the conquered kingdoms. British Governor Generals were Robbers! Turkish and Arab Sultans were robbers. Otherwise how does Tipu Sultan's Swords, Peacock Throne, Kohinoor Diamond, hundreds of tons of gold and precious stones go to London? In Mahabharata, Arjuna called himself Dhananjaya as a title, saying that he stands in the midst of Conquered Treasures. If these treasures are robbed / stolen, when an enemies invade a kingdom and the King fights a war in defence, wins it, repels the enemies, chases them, collects reparations and damages from them, it is understandable. The purpose of battles itself, is plundering and robbing!

Abhiras might have lived by stealth and robberies. Sudras might have been working as servants. They might have tried to rebel against the white/red Brahmins and Kshatriyas (warrior caste) of those days. They may probably deserve to be repelled by Kings whose duty is to protect their own kingdoms. But, why should a River develop hatred towards some castes and tribes, and disappear into sands?

Now, if the Rajasthan Government or the Hariyana Government digs spending millions, will the River of those days re-appear? Won't Sudras and Abhiras exist in 21st Century India? Won't Saraswati River be angry with them? Will the River be angry with the 21st Century Brahmins, because they have stopped acquiring spiritual discriminative abilities, and are wasting their time in idol worship, and are converting worship into a trade with the Gods and Goddesses? Won't the Saraswati River be angry with Hariyana, Rajasthan politicians, and All India Politicians in Delhi?

OTHER REFERENCES TO ABHIRAS IN RAMAYANA AND MAHABHARATA



In Valmiki Ramayana, when Shri Rama wanted to build a bridge across Ocean, the God of Ocean did not give a way. Then Rama has chanted Brahmastra mantra (chant of Creator's Weapon) and set his arrow in his bow towards the Ocean. Then the God of Ocean (Samudra) appeared before Rama and gave him pathway to Lanka. At that time, there was a belief an arrow+chant (astram) once 'set for use' cannot be taken back. Rama's advisors ask him to redirect the BrahmAstra towards Abhiras who were criminals. Rama did accordingly. Brahmastra is extremely powerful. Abhiras ought to have died with the Brahmastra. But Abhiras did not die. They have reappeared in Mahabharata Epic.

After the demise of Balarama, and Krishna, the Dvaraka City was said to have been devored by the Sea (sunk into the Sea). Arjuna taking the left over Yadava Women (Rukmini, Jambavati entered into funeral pire of Lord Krishna) proceeded towards Hastinapura in Hariyana -UP Border. In the Thar Desert AbhIras attacked Arjuna's entourage. Arjuna could not fight because he forgot his magic chants of weapons (astras), and exhausted his shafts (arrows/darts) which were till then inexhaustible.

These two items, we shall cover some other day.

So !!!! Rivers can be angry with castes and tribes, whom Aryans do not like. Will Yamuna River disappear if she is angry with our Hon. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, and our Chief Minister Shri Arvind Kejriwal? Will Ganga disappear, if she is angry with our Mulayam Singh and Lalu Prasad Yadavs? Will Krishna and Godavari Rivers disappear, if they are angry with KCR and Chandra Babu Naidu?

To continue. सशेष. ఇంకా ఉంది.
