Q: A genetic study in 2007 revealed that all house cats are descended
from as few as five female *African Wildcats (Felis silvestris lybica) c.
8000 BCE,* in the Middle East.
KR West theory of migration of all specie only from Africa has no basis
since the generic study of DNA comparison is done wrt the DNA of Africa
(specifically the LUCY girl monkey)is matched with the specie and
established as MIGRATOR from Africa matched India hence displaced from
africa is evidenced; unfortunately , those DNAs of compare sample did not
match with that of the "local people in Africa''; then the theory of people
from India entering Africa, is better appears to be sensible, while the
breakup of the Bharatha varsha as a whole, floating away-is equally a good
theory plausible.
2 The Bharatha varsha if translated from our scriptures (say
Brahmanda puranam), will show an expansive nature of land with the 7 seas
and 7 continents surrounded by water,sticking together. Many names of The
Greece, Russia and other european nations of today bear the modified names
of old Sanskrit words as researched and written by the foriegn scholars.
Sapta sindu is interpreted by the British as Indian rivers which is untrue.
Places like Meru do not lie in our territory as of today. Also the verses
of many names and the facts stated in the vedic scriptures render the true
events, allegory of the same event stated with the reverence, and the names
on sanskrit is true as well as mean the reason for holding or attributing
such names. Maha Periava in deivathin kural had recited many; the treatise
written by many scholars had rendered the meaning of those names.
3 The places in today's Russia have modified names of sanskrit words
only.* 'Julga' in Sanskrit means 'moving water'.* *'Jala' (जल) is 'water',
in Sanskrit. The suffix 'ga' (ग) means going or moving.* *Ganga (गङ्गा)
means 'swift goer' or 'fast moving'. **'Ganga Ma' - 'Mother Ganga' just as
the Russians call Volga 'Volga Matushka'.**"I am convinced that everything
has come down to us from the banks of the Ganges". - Francois
Voltaire. **Nikolai
Trubetzkoy's research shows thus, "In primitive eastern Slavic, the initial
j was lost before rounded vowels in eastern Slavic, and the initial u
acquired an obligatory prothetic 'v'. Thus the form 'vulga' arose, and the
short 'u' changed in the 12th–-13th centuries into 'o'. So through a long
series of changes Julga became Volga". **The Volga flows into the Caspian
Sea. The name Caspian is said to be derived from the ancient Vedic name of
the Caspian, which was 'Kashyapa', named after the sage '**Kashyapa**' who
in the Vedic tradition is the father of all 'devas', 'asuras', 'nagas' and
of all humanity. *When was the last time you had a shot of vodka? Well,
next time you have one, remember that this Russian word has its origins in
the Vedic Sanskrit word for water – *udaka*. (from ‘India & Russia:
Linguistic & Cultural Affinity’
<http://vedic.su/Vedic/tur/IndiaRussia_Rishi_OCR.pdf>).
4 DOMESTIC CAT MARJARA IN SANSKRIT; Cat is not from Africa as written
above. Sanskrit word exist as MARJARA; DOMESTIC CAT; mar-jara= my love is
also another meaning;
1 The animal Mārjāra is part of the sub-group named *prasaha*, referring to
animals ``who take their food by snatching”. It was classified by Caraka in
his *Carakasaṃhitā sūtrasthāna* (chapter 27), a classical Ayurvedic work.
Caraka defined such groups (*vargas*) based on the dietetic properties of
the substance.
2 It is said in Brahmapurāṇa that the mārjāras (cats) have their origin
from this"son of Jāmbavān".
3 Mārjāras are chiefly mentioned in the Manusmṛti, Parāśarasmṛti [Chap.6],
Gautamasmṛti [17.2 and 15.1], Śātātapasmṛti [II.45-54], Uśānasmṛti [IX.7-9;
IX.12-13], Yājñavalkyasmṛti [I.170-171; I.175; I.258- 260], Viṣṇusmṛti
[51.3;51.6;51.26;51.33;80.3-14], Uttarāṅgirasasmṛti [X.15-17],
Prajāpatismṛti [Śrāddhatyājyavastuvarṇanam. 138-143], 9 Kāśyapasmṛti
[Section on Prāyaścittavarṇanam], Vṛddha Hārītasmṛti [6.253-255] and
Kātyāyanasmṛti [27.11].
4 There is a slightly different version of this in the "Kathasaritasagara".
As per this version, Indra turned into a cat when he saw Gautama
returning.(it is not in Valmiki Ramayana Balakanda chap 48) But Gautama
sensed something amiss and asked Ahalya who had been there. Ahalya
said ‘Eshastithakhalu
marjara’ (it is the cat that’s standing there) Marjara can also be read as
mah jara (my illicit lover) as per Kathasaritasagara Lavanakalambaka
Taranga 3.
Earliest word cat appears earlier to Ramayanam, if so it existed in India
7000 BCE to 10000 BCE. Nothing is from Africa. Dog was here. Horse was
here; but Wendy Doniger wrote that horse was not in India. Animals and
Plants, flora and fauna were reflected in Ramayanam by Valmiki. If read
somewhere please question the evidence propriety. K R IRS 10121
