Indus Script deciphered with Hindu mythology: glyph #48, the corpse
THE TRAGIC DEATH OF SATI

Figure 1. Indus Script glyphs deciphered by Celeste Horner 2024. Shiva art by Kala Kshetram @Tumbler Indus Seal M-15 refers to the Hindu shrines dedicated to Sati, the first wife of the god Shiva. She sacrificed herself in fire because her father, a king, disrespected her husband. Indus Script glyph #48 depicts a corpse, with vertebral spines protruding from the back. In this story, these strokes also suggest robes, funeral wrapping, and flames. Glyph #48 also appears Ardhanishwara legend of the three-legged skeleton man, to describe Shiva as a god of the dead, and to represent the noose, called pashu with which the death god Yam extracts souls from their bodies at the end of life. The name of Shiva as Pashupati, Lord of Animals, may be written with glyph #48.

Purana summary * Destruction of the Daksha Yagnyam, origin of the 18 Shakti Peethas *


Indus Script glyph #48. SATI DIED TRAGICALLY. She married Shiva, God of Destruction against the wishes of her father, a king. He did not want his beautiful princess daughter to marry a poor, matted-hair ascetic who was covered with crematorium ash and writhing snakes. To show his contempt, the king hosted an elaborate sacrificial banquet and invited all the gods of the universe, except Shiva. Sati went to the event, dispite not being invited. When she appeared, her own father mocked her husband, and humiliated her. In protest, unwaveringly loyal to her husband Shiva, Sati walked into the sacrificial fire and died.

Shiva arrived in a consuming rage and destroyed the entire place. After that, he staggered around the land like a mindless drunken man, agonizing in bottomless grief, carrying the body of his dead wife. He was oblivious that parts of her corpse fell to the ground. His trail of tears became a pilgrimmage route in India to this day. Each part of Sati's body that fell has a Shakti peeta shrine and letter of the Sanskrit alphabet dedicated it, so that her memory will never die. Finally Shiva's grief gave way to anger, and he started the fatal steps of his Tandava dance that had the power to destroy the universe. At that point, Vishnu, the God of Preservation intervened. He attacked Shiva with his whirling sawtooth Sudarshan chakra, one of the ultimate weapons of the gods. It vaporized the remaining crumbs of Sati's corpse, and knocked the destructive winds out of Shiva. His mind restored, Shiva walked into a forest, sat down, and meditated motionless -- for centuries.

Double tick glyph 99 here connotes plural because of the numerous parts of Sati which dropped to create shrines. Also poetically suggests flames from her self immolation.

Indus Script deciphered with Hindu mythology
Rosetta Stone discovered with MahaShivratri legend of Lubdhaka: the man, tree, and tiger

by Celeste Claire Horner, 2024



A
FTER THE TRAGIC DEATH OF HIS WIFE, the god Shiva experienced such great rage and profound depression that he nearly destroyed the universe. Finally, he found his center, restored life to those destroyed during his wrath, and meditated motionless for centuries. Onlookers were curious about the god. They could sense his magnetism, focus, and power. They watched, they sat with him, they came and went. After a long expanse of time, 7 immortal sages, the SaptaRishis, were left by his side. One day, Shiva opened his eyes and started to teach them what he had learned. They became his first disciples, and he became Adiyogi, the first yoga master.

Hindu mythology is a powerful paradigm for interpretation of the Indus writing system. It provides organizational guidance and a coherent explanation for connections between glyphs which have long resisted decipherment.

  Shiva and the Seven Sages           ^






Saptarishi, the Seven Sages. source

upside down yogi, scorpion, tiger

The Seven Sages, the SaptaRishis, are the 7 immortal mind-born sons of Brahma. Hindu cosmology envisons a multi-verse with a Brahma creator god and seven immortal rishis in each one. They are preserved through catastrophes such as floods which reset the world stage, and seed life and civilization again. The seven sages learned the art of yoga from Shiva, who personifies the transcendent, unmanifest ultimate deity Brahman.

The seven sages of the current great era of 306,720,000 years (Sanskrit Manvantara) are Atri, Bharadvaja, Gautama Maharishi, Jamadagni, Kashyapa, Vasistha, and Vishvamitra. They are considered to be alive today.

ORIGIN OF LINGA WORSHIP. Once, Shiva, the first guru, performed a hard test of wisdom among his disciples, the Seven Sages. He came into their village naked (Degumbara) and covered with ash. They were shocked and didn't realize that he was illustrating his ultimate nature as the formless one (Alinga). This is one so essential that his only clothes are the cardinal directions of space-time itself. At the same time Shiva, who is usually dishevelled and strange in appearance also possess/es the attribute of being able to appear as the most handsome * and beautiful (compare Ptah beautiful face and Chandra transcendental beauty from yajna and Tara) in the universe. The wives of the sages were seduced by his magnetism. Only one wife, Arundhati, stayed loyal to her husband Vashishtha. The seven sages are represented by the Ursa Major constellation. The faithful wife is Alcor a faint binary paired with Mizar in Ursa Major. The six wives who fell in love with Shiva are represented by the Pleiades. The seven sages are the 7 stars of Ursa Major. The sages were enraged. With their yogic powers they summoned an enormous raging tiger from their yajna sacrificial fire #194. But Shiva defeated the tiger and its skin became his meditation seat and wrap. Jealous of his power, the sages cursed Shiva so that his phallus fell off. He became Alinga (without a linga phallus) in another sense. When Shiva's masculine member hit the ground, it caused a cosmic firestorm #194 that threatened to destroy all three worlds. In a Panic, the Seven Sages implored Shiva's wife Parvati to assume her form as a Yoni womb and enclose and calm the linga. She did this, and from that day the linga and yoni became a perpetually worshipped form. The cross-cultural mythology of gods without a phallus (Alinga also means without gender) applies to Greek Uranus, Egyptian Osiris and Shiva of the Hindu pantheon. Yet Sanskrit gives the key that Alinga is just a visual code for a spirit which is transcendent and formless. *

  Sage Dadhichi           ^


Sage Dadichi gave up his life so that his bones, charged with spiritual energy could be made into a superweapon to defeat an unconquerable demon


Hindu Saga {God Indra wields the invincible vajra weapon to defeat the demon Vritra who had dried up all the water in the world}

VRITRA, AN INVINCIBLE DEMON*, conquered the world and dried up all the water so that all except those under his command would perish. Desperate, the gods led by Indra sought the advice of the god Vishnu, preserver of the world. He told them that only a weapon forged from the bones of the world's most holy saint could defeat the demon. The gods went to the hermitage of sage Dadhichi and humbled themselves. The saint was willing to sacrifice his life. His only regret is that he would like to see all the holy rivers. With no time to lose, the chief god Indra used his power to divert all the holy rivers through sage Dadichi's hermitage (Indus glyph #236). Satisfied, the spirit of the sage departed his body. His bones were fashioned into the super-weapons of the gods. The demon was defeated, and the world was saved.

( The demi-gods made the mistake of becoming complacent. They were filled with strength because they drank the Amrita from the Ocean of Milk. They defeated their rivals, the demons. Things were going so well, they thought they didn't need any more advice and sent their wise chief advisor away. A double-agent for the demon side took his position. When it was discovered that the double-agent was strengthening the demons, this guru was beheaded. The death provoked the revenge of the king of the demons because the slain advisor was his son. Through severe penance, the demon king gained the boon of another unconquerable demon son who would avenge his brother's death. This was the origin of Vrittra, who conquered the world. The gods were forced to seek the counsel of the advisor they sent away and sacrifice the life of a great and pious sage)

Shiva, the Water-Bearer



Shiva is the water bearer because
he breaks the fall
of the Ganges River
from Heaven. It springs up
from his top-knot. Shiva is also a
water-bearer> because he made
it possible for the Elixir of Life,
Amrita to be made because
he swallowed the poison
which accompanied it.

According to Hindu legend, the world was once threatened by demons who hid under the ocean. They would emerge at night and slaughter holy sages. In response, the great sage Agastia drank the ocean so that the lair of the demons was revealed and the gods, led by Indra destroyed them. The world remained with extremely low water levels for generations. Then, a righteous king Sage Bhagiratha performed great acts to bring the Ganga river from Heaven to Earth. In doing so, the holy waters released 60,000 souls of his ancestors (sons of king Sagara) who were suffering in the after-life for their misdeeds, and restored the seas of Earth. The water descended with such great force, that Shiva intervened to let the water fall on his head, and then flow (#180) more gently out from his matted locks of hair (#181 with crescent moon). This is one reason why Shiva is considered a water-bearer and axis of balance in the universe.

King Sagara performed a ceremony in which a sanctified horse is allowed to run free. The horse went missing, so the 60,000 sons went to look for it. They found it at the hermitage of sage Kapila. He was deep in meditation, but his trance was broken by the disruption of the 60,000 sons who falsely accused him of stealing the horse. He burnt them to ash with his 3rd eye and they wandered the afterlife as lost souls for generations until their righteous relative accomplished enough spiritual merit to bring the holy Ganga river down from heaven to wash them and bring them release to enter paradise.
