THE SCIENTIFIC DATING OF THE MAHABHARAT WAR

PLUTO (was known to Vyas in 5561 BCE)
Krittikaam Peedayan Teekshnaihi Nakshatram......
[30-Bheeshma.3]
Vyas states that there was one Nakshatra, i.e, some
immobile liminary troubling Krittika (Pleides) with its
sharp rays. This "star" in Krittika must have been some
"planet". It must have been stationary for many years,
that is why Vyas called it Nakshatra which means a thing
that does not move according to Mahabharat itself [Na
Ksharati Iti Makshatram]
Hence the Nakshatra was a planet moving very slowly like
pluto which takes nine years to cross one Nakshatra of
13 degrees. My assumption that this Nakshatra was Pluto
gets confirmed by B.O.R.I (Bhandarkar Oriental Research
Institute?) Edition which states thus:
Krittikasu Grahasteevro Nakshatre Prathame Jvalan......
[26- Bhishma.3]
Some editions mention 'Grahasteekshnah'. Thus Teevra,
Teekshana and Nakshatra are the names of one and the
same planet (graha) which was in Krittlka in 5561 BCE
Let us see if Vyas has given these names to Pluto and if
Pluto was in Krittika. It is stated that Krittika was
troubled with sharp rays by that planet -- this
indicates that it was Nirayan Krittika.
Pluto was at 175 degrees in 1979. It takes 248 years
per rotation. 1979+5561=7540 years. 7540 divided by
248 gives 30.403223 turns. 0.403223 turn means 145
degrees. 175 - 145 = 30 degrees. This is the site of
Krittika. Thus it is proved beyond doubt that Vyas bas
mentioned the position of Pluto, which was discovered to
the modern world in 1930. Vyas could have used his
Yogic Vision or mathematical brain or a lens or some
other device to discover Teevra, Teekshna' or Nakshatra
or Pluto.
Thus all the three so-called 'New' planets are
discovered from Mahabharat. It is usually held that
before the discovery of Herschel in 1781 AD, only five
planets were known to the world. This belief is wrong
because Vyas has mentioned 'seven Great planets', three
times in Mahabharat.
Deepyamanascha Sampetuhu Divi Sapta
Mahagrahah....[2-Bhishma.17]
This stanza states that the seven great planets were
brilliant and shining; so Rahu and Ketu are out of
question. Rahu and Ketu are described as Graha' 23
meaning Nodal points. (Parus means a node). Evidently
Rahu and Ketu are not included in these seven great
planets. The Moon also is not included, because it was
not visible on that day of Amavasya with Solar Eclipse.
- From the positions discovered by me and given by Vyas it
is seen that Mars, Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus
and Neptune were the seven great planets accumulated in
a small field extending from Anuradha to Purva
Bhadrapada. So they appeared to Ved-Vyas as colliding
with each other, during total solar eclipse.
Nissaranto Vyadrushanta Suryaat Sapta
Mahagrahah....[4-Karna 37].
This stanza clearly states that these seven great
planets were 'seen' moving away from the Sun. As these
are 'seen', Rahu and Ketu are out of question. This is
the statement of sixteenth day of the War, naturally the
Moon has moved away from the Sun. Hence, Moon, Mars,
Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus and Neptune are the
seven great planets mentioned by Vyas.
Praja Samharane Rajan Somam Sapta grahah
Iva......[22-Drona 37].
Here again seven planets are mentioned, excluding the
Moon.
Even if we do not consider the planetary positions, from
the above three stanzas, it is clear that seven planets
are mentioned which do not include the Sun, Moon, Rahu
and Ketu. Naturally the conclusion is inevitable that
Vyas did know Uranus (Shveta) and Neptune (Shyama) as
planets.
If they were known from 5561 years BCE then why they got
forgotten? The answer is simple, that these two
planets, Uranus and Neptune were not useful in
predicting the future of a person. So they lost
importance and in the course of time they were totally
forgotten. But, in any case, Neelakantha from 17th
century knew these two planets very weIl. Neelakantha
is about a hundred years ancient than Herschel, and he
writes that Mahapata (Uranus) is a famous planet in the
Astronomical science of India. He also mentions the
planet 'Parigha' i.e. Neptune. 22 So both were known in
India, at least one Hundered years before Herschel. Vyas
is 7343 years ancient than Herschel, but still he knew
all the three planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.
