I was reading up on the verses in the Srimad Bhagavatam , In the 12th canto the verses describe the dynasties and the modern age kings which seems very interesting.
12.1.28
tato 'sÌ£tÌ£au yavanÄ bhÄvyÄÅ caturdaÅa turusÌ£kakÄhÌ£
bhÅ«yo daÅa gurunÌ£dÌ£ÄÅ ca maulÄ ekÄdaÅaiva tu
Eight Yavanas will then take power, followed by fourteen Turuṣkas, ten Guruṇḍas and eleven kings of the Maula dynasty
Eight Yavana's= Are these greek kings
Turushka's = Are there exactly 14 major arab-mughal Marauders or rulers
Gurundas=??? what is this race or who is this???
12.1.29-31
ete bhoksÌ£yanti prÌ£thivÄ«mÌ daÅa varsÌ£a-ÅatÄni ca
navÄdhikÄmÌ ca navatimÌ maulÄ ekÄdaÅa ksÌ£itim
bhoksÌ£yanty abda-ÅatÄny aÅga trÄ«nÌ£i taihÌ£ samÌsthite tatahÌ£
kilakilÄyÄmÌ nrÌ£patayo bhÅ«tanando 'tha vaÅgirihÌ£
ÅiÅunandiÅ ca tad-bhrÄtÄ yaÅonandihÌ£ pravÄ«rakahÌ£
ity ete vai varsÌ£a-ÅatamÌ bhavisÌ£yanty adhikÄni sÌ£atÌ£
These ÄbhÄ«ras, GardabhÄ«s and KaÅkas will enjoy the earth for 1,099 years, and the Maulas will rule for 300 years. When all of them have died off there will appear in the city of KilakilÄ a dynasty of kings consisting of BhÅ«tananda, VaÅgiri, ÅiÅunandi, ÅiÅunandi's brother YaÅonandi, and PravÄ«raka. These kings of KilakilÄ will hold sway for a total of 106 years.
Which city are they referring to ????
12.1.12
refers to Chandragupta maurya and Chanakya and then the later verses give the exact number of years of various other kings
There is a very detailed description of the kings , step by step ,it would be really great if any learned forum members could make a correlation between the names of the kings and figures from History.
If the moderators feel it does not deserve a separate thread please merge with an appropriate one.
