Twins
I was reading Lomash Sanhita. The
chart of a twin birth given in that ancient text caught my attention. Who are these
Vaidik or Pauraanik twins who took birth in BCE 3897 and one of them died in a battle
in BCE 3827? Any idea?
इत्युक्त्वा
धरणीनाथः
सुतयोर्जन्मपत्रिके॥18॥
तान्मुनीन्दर्शयामास
कालज्ञानविशारदान्।
[Having said this, the king showed the two birth charts of his sons to
those sages who were adept in the knowledge of time.]
तदा ते मुनयः
सर्वे दृष्ट्वा
कुंडलिके शुभे॥19॥
ग्रहराशिनवांशाद्
यान्वर्षमासादिकासमान्।
पत्रिकः
पत्रिकाँज्ज्ञत्वा
जनस्यैकस्य भामिनि॥20॥
[O beautiful woman! Then all those sages, after seeing the two auspicious
charts, planets, signs, divisions like Navaansh etc which were identical
with respect to year, month etc they thought them to belong to one
individual.]
मीनांगे
तत्र जीवेंदू
मेषे भौमो घटे शनिः।
सिंहे सिंहाधिपो
जूके भार्गवो
मिथुने तमः।
चंद्रात्मजे
मदस्थाने सकलादीसभागगाः [VK1]
॥21॥
[In them Jupiter and Moon were placed in the ascendant Pisces, Mars in
Aries, Saturn in Aquarius, Sun in Leo, Venus in Libra, Raahu in Gemini and
Mercury in the 7th house with all planets in identical Navaansh.]
Here a complete chart is given - Pisces
Lagna, Sun in Leo, Moon in Pisces, Mars in Aries, Mercury in 7th house in Virgo, Jupiter
in Pisces, Venus in Libra, Saturn in Aquarius, Raahu in Gemini and Ketu in Sagittarius.
The question may arise to which period this chart belongs to? The answer is, that it does
not belong to any period. It is just an imaginary chart that can indicate a twin birth.
Note that the Ascendant is a duel sign, aspected by a duel planet mercury, placed in another
duel sign, and the Lagna Lord Jupiter is also placed in a duel sign - i.e. Pisces. Out of
the 9 planets and Lagna listed, 6 are in duel signs and obviously it indicates a twin birth.
If someone what to assume that it is a real chart and search for a date in which it would
be true, then he may find that BCE 3897 Jun 11th at 9 PM is the only date that can get most
of these placements right. But still Raahu-Ketu and Venus would be off by a sign. The chart
for the said date is given below.
Please note that for the given date
almost all the positions match except that Rahu-Ketu and Venus are off by a sign.
But if the degrees are considered it would be clear that they are off by just 6
degrees only, a calculation mistake possible considering the undeveloped state of
astronomy in the past. Thus it becomes clear that it is about this particular ‘back
calculated chart’ itself that the discussion is happening. (Anyone can use JHora to
check the accuracy of the above chart for the above date) I
wonder which is the famous Pauraanik twins who are thought have taken birth during
this period! Even Mahabharata war is said to have taken place in BC 3100,
and this date is approx. 900 years before that! May be some forefathers of Kuru kingdom
should be tracked to this date I hope - who knows!

[“One with this configuration will be endowed with virtues, will be
intelligent, famed, physically strong, a Chakravartee king, wealthy,
compassionate to all beings, a king of kings, a wielder of bow, destroyer
of all enemies, of fair color, shall have a conduct in accordance with
Dharm, tall, healthy and shall help others (or shall have many helpers).
He will have the thread ceremony at
the age of eight, marriage at the age of twelve, son at the age of twenty eight.
At the age of seventy there will be a huge war in the battlefield. There itself
he will die and because of this attain heaven. In the month of Maagh, on the twelfth
day of the bright fortnight, on a Sunday, when the Sun will rise in the sign of
Capricorn he will die by the weapon named Kaalaastra.” Having said this all the sages
then became quiet.]
Year of death = -3897 + 70 = -3827
Month of death = Maagh,
Tithi = Shukla Dwitiyaa
Day = Sunday
Lagna = Capricorn
And wow! We find that it all comes true correct for 6th Nov 3827 BCE, except that
the day is off by a single day - i.e. it is not Sunday but Saturday. Quite impressive!

[After hearing the words of the sages the king then spoke to them them, “O
Saumyas! This result pertains to one son. It does not apply to the
other.”]
कारणं तस्य
मे ब्रूहि वर्षमासादयः
समान्।
द्वितीयस्तु महापापी

एतद्विचार्यतां

[“Tell me the reason for that. The years, months etc are identical but the
second son is very sinful, of a bad character, a coward in battlefield,
devoid of knowledge, short tempered, dark in color, short in height and
extremely merciless. All you intelligent sages should think about this
properly.”]
इति वाक्यं
समाकर्ण्य नृपस्य
मुनयस्तदा।
ऊचुस्ते पृथिवीनाथं
नृपस्य परितोषणं॥30॥
[Hearing these words of the king the sages then spoke to him words for his satisfaction.]
