Justifications for some of these aequivalences:--
Prajapati = Protogenos Phaethon |
Prajapati is, according to the Veda, 4-faced; so likewise is {GM} Protogenos Phaethon 4-faced. |
Bhaga = Phobos |
Bhaga is, according to the Puran.a, son of Variyas; just as Phobos is son of [W]areias. |
Aryaman = Orion |
Aryaman is ruler {HP} of the galaxy = coelestial Ganga, descending via Mt. MERU; while Orion was owner of the bitch MAIRA. |
Mitra= Minotauros, guardian of the labythinth at Knossos |
Mitra = Hellenic miter "headband", made {GMPT 4:2441-2707} of a man's gut. But the gut regarded by the Bon {NEED, s.v. MS 5078} as the route for the soul of the dead is that of a gyag (yak): similar to the Aegytian route for the dead as a labyrinthine path through the pyramid at Hawara, the model, according Plinius Natural History 36:13, for the Cretan labyrinth. |
