The epic, Rāmāyaṇa, is a living topic of contemporary relevance. It constitutes a substantial part of Indian historical collective memory that influenced the socio-cultural, religious, and political landscape of India to a large extent. Hence, creative minds through ages and across different cross-sections of Indian society have re-interpreted and re-created the epic narrative in varied forms through diverse media. This article examines the interaction between ideology, narrative and historical context with artistic traditions that substantiated relevant values of cultural life. History was made intelligible through religious and social values, visual arts, and geographical locale. Thus, there was a transformation of the protagonist, [[Rama]], into a [[divinity]] that resulted in his icons in [[Hindu]] [[temples]]. Numerous stories about Rama were an outgrowth of an earlier cultural process that ultimately became a dynamic method that sustained kings, [[kingdoms]] and the populace.

==Introduction==
The [[Sanskrit]] epic Rāmāyaṇa is divided into seven cantos with 24,000 verses. It is the story of Rama, prince of [[Ayodhya]]. He is about to be crowned king when Kaikeyi, one of the wives of his father, [[Dasaratha]], demands that her son [[Bharata]] be crowned instead. Rama is forced into exile with his wife Sita and brother Lakshmana. In the forest, Ravana the king of Lanka, who has coveted Sita, abducts her. Rama assembles an army of monkeys and they invade Lanka, killing Ravana and rescuing Sita. She proves her chastity through a trial by fire. After fourteen years, Rama finally rules Ayodhya, leading to a golden age.

The epic itself, like many Indic texts, is highly revered as religious text. It is one of the earliest and most influential Vaiṣṇava texts, and literary work that is not only a great poem but indeed the very first poem and the forerunner of all subsequent [[poetry]]. The story has variations in Indian and S.E.Asian history. Texts on Rāmāyaṇa range from 7th century BCE to 4th century BCE. The most authoritative one was written by [[Valmiki]] in Sanskrit in 2nd, century BCE<ref>The [[Ramayana]] of Valmiki: An Epic of Ancient India. Introduction, Translation, and Annotation by Robert P. Goldman and Sally J. Sutherland Goldman. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2017. v. 7</ref>.

In the 16th century ACE, it was rewritten by Tulsidas in the 16th century Awadhi dialect under the title Rāmacharitamānas.

There are innumerable versions of the tale; to name a few, they include the 12th-century Tamil language Rāmāvataram, 12th-century Kannada Rāmachandra Charitapurāṇa or Pampa Rāmāyaṇa by Nagachandra, 13th-century Telugu language Sri Ranganatha Rāmāyaṇam, 16th-century Rāmcharitmānas, and the 17th-century Adhyathmarāmāyaṇam Kilippattu. There have been many commentaries in Sanskrit on the epics from the 11th C to the 17th century ACE examining their meaning and intention. For example, a substantial tradition of writing narratives based on the life of [[lord Rama]], which can be traced in Kashmiri literature as early as the 19th century. Around seven Rāmāyaṇas are available namely:

# Rāmāvatāracharita (1847)
# Shankar-Rāmāyaṇa (1870)
# Vishnupratap-Rāmāyaṇa (1904-14)
# Ā[[nanda]] Rāmavatāracharita (1888)
# Rāmmāyan-i-Sharma (1919-26)
# Tarachand Rāmāyaṇa (1926-27)
# Amar-Rāmāyaṇa (1950)

Ramavatāracharit, which is available in published form, is the most well-known and significant of these. Among the available and unavailable Rāmāyaṇas of Kashmiri mentioned above, 'Rāmavatāracharit ' has a special place in Kashmiri literature and stands out for its popularity. In S.E Asia are the Khmer Reamker, the Old Javanese Kakawin Rāmāyaṇa; the Thai Ramakien, the Lao Phra Lak Phra Lam; and the Burmese [[Yama]] Zatdaw.

==Historicity==
There are many reasons to consider the epic or a part of it as historical truth. [[Rāma]], is portrayed as a living personality; he suffered mental, emotional and physical pain to which ordinary mortals are prey but he is also as an ideal king. Secondly historicity as we understand it today, was not of much concern to the authors and audience of past times; it was an oral tradition which was considered as a historical document. The journey of the triad and territorial identity should be included by the historian noting that past documents could have been lost. The Valmiki Rāmāyaṇa in its original form was an oral narrative which became a sacred book and a text on [[dharma]]. There is reason to believe that some part of it happened in the past. It was refashioned time and again to convert into a religious text or for other purposes. Rāma who is worshipped as the supreme form and main manifestation of [[Vishnu]] did not rise into prominence before the 11th and 12th Centuries CE.

==Oral Tradition to Narrative==
There are several versions of the Rāmāyaṇa that vary according to historical period, regional literary tradition, religious affiliation and political and social context. The original text, an epic composed by bards, was recited at sacrificial rituals, during feasts and the courts of the kings<ref>Mukherjee, Tutun, Saymon Zakaria: Ramayan Gaan or Singing the Ramayan in West Bengal, Assam, and Bangladesh. Asian Theatre Journal, Volume 37, Number 1, Spring 2020, pp. 89-106</ref>. The hero, Rama, rules from the city of Ayodhya over the kingdom of Kosala situated in the middle Ganges plain, claims descent from the solar dynasty. Rama is the chief of the righteous fighting against Ravana, a demon who fills the world with terror. Rama is the personification of an ideal king and his reign is symbolic in social memory, being a period of prosperity that has the term in Rāma-rājya.

==History or Myth==
Tales of the king’s adventures through the journey can be read as we see the architecture and arts in Ayodhya, Nepal, Sri Lanka, [[Hampi]] and Anegundi. In UP and Bihar, stories were appropriated as their own story, providing a sense of history. Lanka, Nepal, Karnataka and several other places were associated with the epic. From Rishyamuk Parbat to King Bali’s cave, local folklore connects many spots to the stories in the Ramayana<ref>Hofmeister TP. The Antilles: Fragments of Epic Memory. The Nobel lecture/The Odyssey: A Stage Version. International Journal of the Classical Tradition. 1995;1(4):136-146. Accessed January 20, 2024. https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&AuthType=ip,shib&db=aph&AN=9510043066&site=ehost-live</ref>. Hofmeister writes: No tradition survives without imitation, contestation of, or allusion to its established forms and ideas). That he was deified as a god was equally relevant during the early medieval period as found in artistic traditions of [[sculpture]] and architecture.
Naturally a question mark has been put about the reality of incidences that has been narrated in the text. The debate whether the king Rama, is a mythical character or a real-life ruler can run on for hours. The spreading of the epic throughout the human society from years after years was accompanied orally by many disciples from generation to generation. As it had been carried through oral recitation there was a lot of possibilities of addition and alteration at different stages of such progress.

But an inevitable question always arises whether the personality of Rāma mentioned in the epic is fact or fictitious? So, always there is a question mark whether the epic contains any historical fact, or it is a simple epic novel? It is quite evident that there are several portions found in the story which seems to be exaggerated. The composed verse was being spread from generation to generation through preceptors. During the passage of long journey quote from memory addition and alteration were incorporated. However, aggrandizement and magnification was a very common issue in the ancient period and can be compared to what was in ancient Greece. Thus it is difficult to dismiss it as mythology. There are many archaeological sources that have been lost, given the heavy building layered activity in areas associated with the Rāmāyaṇa. While positive evidences have been found regarding the Mahā[[bhārata]] [1] it is possible that some evidence will be found about Rāmāyaṇa in the future.

==Historical Context==
The question that should be asked is what was the historical circumstances that led to the rise of the hero and might have happened in the context of ancient Indian historical evidence<ref>Lal, B. B. In search of India’s Traditional Past: Light from the Excavations at [[Hastinapura]] and Ayodhya. India International Centre Quarterly. Vol. 2, No. 4 (October 1975), pp. 311-314. https://www.jstor.org/stable/23001887</ref>. The reason that there are different versions of it is that it was an oral tradition[2] and hence the poets’ imagination of an ideal king reigns supreme. However, it might have been true that Rama was a more compassionate leader than earlier ones. Secondly there was a reason why people had collective memory and built upon the ideology of Rama, his personality, and the narrative stories that were told and retold. They struck a chord to every class and group of people. A glance at the ancient historical period of various cultures gives us an idea why epics and narratives were exaggerated or held in historical memory. It was the historical context in which Rāma ruled that made him an ideal king, perhaps due to many wars or confusion, jealousies, intrigues, tribals, forest areas, that occur in the epic.

The historical circumstances during the post Indus Valley and pre-Buddhist period, the post second urbanization era, rise of kingdoms, strife at various levels probably contributed to his rise. Historically during a troubled period of confusion, a leader with values made sense. The epic was created with an adventure - a variety of personal, public, and popular themes and ideals.

The intervention by Rāma for a degenerating society; his enlightened way of living was the ideal. Historical circumstances probably provoked it as it had done during the ancient Greek period, when Homer wrote the Iliad. Authors exaggerated the accomplishments of the king, his ideals, his humanistic values of a king who stood for some sort of an ideal of dharma and justices. Society was perhaps, illogical, and unjust; elders were not respected; there was discord between man and nature, self and society. There was a quest for the infinite that provided a basis for understanding behavior and relationships, social relations, norms, practices, interests conflicts, difference of opinions, which was idealized by Rāma through respect, love and sacrifice. The epic built a social system that discouraged selfishness, anger, hate, greed, lust particularly among family members and turned towards stability through individual and social values of patience, tolerance, and duty.

Rama’s heroism was not merely on the battlefield but on his sacrifices and ideals that were magnified in the epic. It was going to be a golden Age where hope comes back; a peaceful era, with wealth and harvest and renewal. Rāma stood for renovation, continuity and preservation of ancient values. There was hope for man. It is not surprising that they associated him to be an avatār of Vishnu, the god of Preservation.

A cultural context normally gives rise to unknown events, unique leaders as it was in Greece. Perhaps, there was famine or environmental disturbances during the period; there might have been problems with village economies and hunger, and the hero promised release from these. History has been what is relevant, and useful in collective memory not what was necessarily written in India, which is different from western viewpoint. History (like art) constructs what is educative, useful, dramatic and enlightening.

Indian culture recognized the insecurity in man, environment and injustices. It strove to elaborate a condition and an atmosphere that portrayed stability, to reflect upon what is right and wrong<ref>“Indian culture is unique in its capability to create an environment that recognizes the insecurity and instability in man. “Lalit Kumar Das. Culture as the Designer. Design Issues: Volume 21, Number 4 Autumn 2005 41-53</ref>

The Rāmāyaṇa provided the theoretical and peaceful structure for Indian culture. To the unlettered, purely as a narrative of India, it provided roots to tap into many places which were named by kings with sites associated with the epic, that lent a sacredness to the local territory<ref>Van der Veer, P. (1992). Ayodhya and Somnath: Eternal shrines, contested histories. Social Research, 59 (1), 85</ref> He writes: Sacred sites are not only contested as markers of space but also as markers of time<ref>https://www.proquest.com/scholarly-journals/ayodhya-somnath-eternal-shrines-contested/docview/209664916/se-2</ref>. In UP and Bihar, stories were appropriated as their own story, providing a sense of history. Lanka, Nepal, Karnataka and several other places were associated with the epic <ref>Sankalia, H.D: The Role of Archaeology in India. Bulletin of the Deccan College Post-Graduate and Research Institute Vol. 33, No. 1/4 (1973), pp. 1-20</ref>.

Rāma, among royalty, has reinforced a certain image of political leadership and kingly power that stood for an ideology of respect, righteous leadership and a peaceful life<ref>Shereen Ratnagar: Archaeology at the Heart of a Political Confrontation The Case of Ayodhya. Current Anthropology. Volume 45, Number 2, April 2004. He adds “Archaeological methods and paradigms are bound to be ideologically inscribed in some way”</ref>. Hence later kings called themselves as Rāma. The Guptas, Chalukyas, Gangas, Cholas and Rajputs, all considered themselves as Rāma and renamed their territories as one of the sites related to Rāmāyaṇa<ref>Vergati, Anne: The Construction of Tradition: The Cult of the God Rama in Rajasthan, North India History and Anthropology,Vol. 15, No. 3, September 2004, pp. 263–271</ref>

==Dramatization of Themes==
Survival demanded imagination. The epic of Rāmāyaṇa is particularly interesting in its various themes, namely, the leadership of a king, his trials and tribulations, and his success. The Rāmāyaṇa evokes emotional and intellectual interests. Whether it is the Surpanakha’s episode or [[Bali]]-[[Sugriva]] duel, or for that matter, Vibhishan’s role in bringing down the downfall of his brother, the writers have not navigated the space between the right and the wrong.

The impact of the epic is due to numerous reasons. The narrative of Rāma in the forest evokes sympathy, his success in the war and return to his kingdom is refreshing and joyful. The story is magical, [[Hanuman]] could fly to the magical mountain<ref>Kumari, M.K. (2022). Tale of Hanumān’s Encounter with Kālanēmi: Gleanings through Literature and Art. Journal of History, Art and Archaeology, 2: 1, pp. 103-114. https://doi.org/10.47509 / JHAA.2022.v02i01.09</ref> ; his rescue of Sita and uproot the mountain, the devotion of Lakshmana shows his magnanimity and most importantly, [[Rāvaṇa]] the evil king of Lanka led to the rise of an ideal king of dharma. Sita is the queen of the Hindu womanhood, and her devotion to Rama was unflinching<ref>Zairu Nisha: Woman, Mother, and the Other: Unraveling the Matrix of Feminine Self. International Consortium for Social Development. 2023. https://creativecommons.or g/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/</ref>

It is not uncommon in mythology to create elaborate stories around historic heroic figures to elevate them to the level of gods who have time and again formed the basis for the development of religious sects. The same was true with the Greeks who created their gods. In the epic Iliad, there are mentioned more gods than what is mentioned in the Rāmāyaṇa. A critical comparative examination of ancient epics and narratives within a historical context will provide a reasonable understanding and interpretation of the epic<ref>Hsu, Jeremy. The Secrets of Stroytelling. Our Love for Telling Tales Reveals the Workings of the [[Mind]]. Scientific American Mind 19 (4: 46-51. Doi:10.1038/scientificamericanmind0808-46</ref>.

Rāmāyaṇa created a god out of a person, and it did not matter whether he ruled a small or a big kingdom, whether Kaikeyi loved or hated Rama, whether Ravana was a real demon with ten heads, or whether Sita was born in Nepal or India, or whether Rama built the bridge to Sri Lanka. Rama’s banishment was unjust, the personality of Kaikeyi, Manthara are ugly, unnerving, Dasaratha’s guilt, his obligations, and despondency impactful.

In the forest, far from the anguish of family politics, the moral imagination of Rama and Sita has expanded. As honored guests of the forest and its inhabitants, they begin to reconsider what it means to be human-not divine, armed and separate from the earthly habitat, but mortal, disarmed and in harmony with nature. The visual images are hypnotic. They are not merely illustrations, but condense different narrative incidents leading up to a crucial moment<ref>Vidya Dehejia, "The Treatment of Narrative in Jagat Singh's 'Ramayana': A Preliminary Study", Artibus Asiae, Vol. 56, No. 3/4, 1996, pp. 303-24; J.P. Losty, The Ramayana: Love and Valour in India's Great Epic, The Mewar Ramayana Manuscripts, London: British Library, 2008, p. 11</ref>.

Sita is a vital moral presence whose imagination is alert to the strangeness and wonder of the forest world. She understands that here is something profound and essential for a life to be called good life from which all social, traditional, or religious presuppositions have been erased. For instance, before meeting Jatayu, Rama had promised [[Agastya]] he would kill the [[asuras]]. Overcoming her shyness, Sita tells Rama that while he is the embodiment of dharma his vow is morally wrong. The desire for power can lead to [[adharma]], she says. In her hierarchy of evil acts, three are particularly dangerous. Telling lies is bad and adultery is shameful. It is a moment of ethical choice for Rama; of reconsidering human responsibilities and duties and she wants Rama to think and act like an ideal he aspires to be rather than a theologically bound prince. With respect and love, Sita tells Rama a story about how violence destroys an ethical man. Sita's moral stature is thus equal to that of Rama's.

Dramatic aspects of emotion, conversation, ethics, idealism, were woven around as the story of Rama was an oral tradition that was spread by word of mouth. They were enacted in folk theaters, and given detailed content in Valmiki’s Ramayana dynamically adapted to social and cultural changes. The narrative enforce the people with meaning - religious, theological through poems, Sanskrit writings, and folk stories. Valmiki’s epic poem (ca. 750–500 BCE) was enticing for generations. Hence we encounter a number of Rāmāyaṇa, produced – written, painted, sculpted, enacted with vividness, on a human and divine level.

There is truth and beauty in them due to philosophical, spiritual, real and fictious portraits, that provides an unending theme to the artist. In it we find the power of imagination - a variety of emotions of grief, longing ecstasy, vindictiveness. Subjects, kings, parents, children all can relate to it. It realizes the complexities of life; faithfulness, dharma, righteousness, filial piety, martial power, governance, land and leadership. The dramatization of Ram Lila dramatization, a fostered divinization. The Hanuman chalisā shaped the world of the medieval. The imaginary of ordinary folk was important .The institutional frameworks and environments in which these artistic works exist are multiple and serve as a methodological tool for understanding folk art practices from India, for they are often found in local communities, museums, private collections, or the handicraft market simultaneously.

==Arts, Sacredness and Divinization==
The epic is dramatic; it is a story to focus upon in drama, theater, [[dance]], [[music]], painting, sculpture, metal work and textiles. Emotional and intellectual content was appealing to all arts. Deification of Rama was achieved through various means, narrative, enactments, ethics, belief, drama and folk lore and particularly via artistic media - in visual and performing arts all considered on an equal plane.

In Indian folklore, songs, oral traditions and practices, the popular [[worship]] of Ram and Sita as one entity has existed from time immemorial. Mela of Rāmāyaṇa promotes the original Awadhi composed by Tulsidas between 16th and 17th centuries CE. Other rishis such as Rishi Valmiki, Acharya Vasishtha, Rishi Vishwamitra, Agastya [[Muni]], Nishad, Jatayu and Mata Sabri were minor [[deities]]. Bhajans and Kirtans, the Ramcharit [[Manas]] Path, and Sunderkand, Ram Stuti are recited and followed by Shuddh Nritya (pure dance) including todas, paran, tukada, tihai and jugalbandi are enacted.

On the walls of temples, in the Pappanatha in Pattadakal, are embodiments of the story, in the paintings in Mewar, on textiles are the combat of Rama and Ravana, prints of Raja Ravi Verma, and on photographs of devotion. Mewar, Kishangarh, Jodhpur, Bikaner, Chamba, Kangra or Guler assumed that the paintings had merit because they were illustrations of either religious motifs, legendary heroes, courtly life or decorative styles. This gave miniature art a social, moral and sacred purpose. It succeeded in making miniature paintings part of our social, moral world.
The artist created his sublime visions. Sita is a simple lady, compassionate, and listens to Jatayu’s tales. The forest is sacred, with birds, deer, trees. Nature is seen through beauty. Arts capture the peaceful, the tranquil, and the elementary. Models of goodness that avert tragedy were portrayed. Ravana with his multiple heads and arms, his golden palace as a dramatic battle can be seen on stage, poetry and paintings. The waking of Kumbhakarna and his going to the battle is hillarious. Hanuman’s journey to obtain the herb and taking back the entire mountain on his back as he soars through the air is captivating. The story telling devices in paintings of perceptual, conceptual view and continuous narration is common in Indian arts. The artist's facility in organizing the space is remarkable. A sense of balance Himalaya in search of the special herb that will save between the figures, landscape is depicted with a sense of [[Time and Space|time and space]].

Many times when patronized by kings had a political function of propaganda as it was with the Rajputs. In the temple complex of Prambanan Indonesia is the iconographical programme with innumerable narrative scenes from the epic patronized by kings. The temple houses an outstanding iconographic program in its architecture, comprising scenes from the epic. Ramayana has disseminated across many parts of Southeast Asia in different ways, irrespective of the religious beliefs of these societies. Lanka is associated with Ravana and Sita’s vana.

The plant sanjivani - a herbal medicine that Lord Hanuman brought by lifting the mountain on which it was planted to cure Lord Ram's brother Lakshman) from Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka was central to the Hindu epic the Ramayana, being the scene of the battle between the Indian king Rama and the Sri Lankan Ravana. The epic had an important place in the unlikeliest places in Southern Sri Lanka, the Muslim Malay community. In Java, as in the rest of South East Asia and became a part of the local folk culture from the 9th C. CE onwards. Given that it spans more than one kind of society, the epic was immensely popular both as a linear narrative of the heroic as well as in the embroidered intricacies of the stories, all of which led to Rama being a God, [[avatar]] of Vishnu that changed the character of the epic.

==Conclusion==
The Rāmāyaṇa is an integral part of Indian culture. It is an epic of unending themes that arose within an historical and cultural context. The dramatic narrative weaved royalty, leadership, narrative, family life and values simultaneously. The interaction between ideology, narrative, and artistic traditions substantiated relevant values of cultural life. Ultimately Rama deified as a god that was equally relevant during the early medieval period. It was a dynamic method that reverberated and sustained kings, kingdoms and the populace in ancient and medieval times.
The narrative unfolds chronologically keeping in mind the human aspect of Rama as well as his ideology. The collective psychology of the people that needed the story of Rama and its spread and spatial occurrence is not a new phenomenon in the ancient world. History was made intelligible through folk lore, locale, drama and visual arts and geographical locale that was an outgrowth of earlier cultural process.

There is a range of texts, beliefs, and practices regarding the ritual and divine status of the image. A single sculpture possesses a range of possible meanings and significations depending upon its cultural context. It is essential to recognize the importance of the arts as influential factors for the sacredness of the epic. Historians need to recognize this fact and value its importance for a multitude of purposes. Narratives and arts acted together, and are interwoven in the religious, social, political, artistic, philosophical realms. The history of this interaction between Hindu imagery and practitioners, priests, curators, reformers, leaders can be still found today.

Rama and Sita should be viewed together by historians as it was and is in public [[consciousness]]. From ancient times, Rama and Sita preserved in public and historical memory suggests a discourse based on an ordered society on ideas of duty, compassion, and service. They are are cultural icons. Rama as an ideal leader and king. Sita is often seen as the uniting force, the ideal and keeper of dharma and human love. In Indian folklore, songs, oral traditions and practices, arts and the popular worship of Ram and Sita as one entity has existed from long.

A comparative understanding of the particular circumstances that led to the rise of the Rama will provide an accurate understanding of the hero. Rāmāyaṇa is not a purāṇa. The nature and function of an epic is tremendous, its spread, retention in collective memory, territorial relation, imaginative literature, substantiation in artistic modes is tremendous. Literary masterpieces are a product of historical circumstances.

Rāmāyaṇa where ideology and arts meet narrative and historical context

The epic, Rāmāyaṇa, is a living topic of contemporary relevance. It constitutes a substantial part of Indian historical collective memory that influenced the socio-cultural, religious, and political landscape of India to a large extent. Hence, creative minds through ages and across different cross-sections of Indian society have re-interpreted and re-created the epic narrative in varied forms through diverse media. This article examines the interaction between ideology, narrative and historical context with artistic traditions that substantiated relevant values of cultural life. History was made intelligible through religious and social values, visual arts, and geographical locale. Thus, there was a transformation of the protagonist, [[Rama]], into a [[divinity]] that resulted in his icons in [[Hindu]] [[temples]]. Numerous stories about Rama were an outgrowth of an earlier cultural process that ultimately became a dynamic method that sustained kings, [[kingdoms]] and the populace.

==Introduction==
The [[Sanskrit]] epic Rāmāyaṇa is divided into seven cantos with 24,000 verses. It is the story of Rama, prince of [[Ayodhya]]. He is about to be crowned king when Kaikeyi, one of the wives of his father, [[Dasaratha]], demands that her son [[Bharata]] be crowned instead. Rama is forced into exile with his wife Sita and brother Lakshmana. In the forest, Ravana the king of Lanka, who has coveted Sita, abducts her. Rama assembles an army of monkeys and they invade Lanka, killing Ravana and rescuing Sita. She proves her chastity through a trial by fire. After fourteen years, Rama finally rules Ayodhya, leading to a golden age.

The epic itself, like many Indic texts, is highly revered as religious text. It is one of the earliest and most influential Vaiṣṇava texts, and literary work that is not only a great poem but indeed the very first poem and the forerunner of all subsequent [[poetry]]. The story has variations in Indian and S.E.Asian history. Texts on Rāmāyaṇa range from 7th century BCE to 4th century BCE. The most authoritative one was written by [[Valmiki]] in Sanskrit in 2nd, century BCE<ref>The [[Ramayana]] of Valmiki: An Epic of Ancient India. Introduction, Translation, and Annotation by Robert P. Goldman and Sally J. Sutherland Goldman. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2017. v. 7</ref>.

In the 16th century ACE, it was rewritten by Tulsidas in the 16th century Awadhi dialect under the title Rāmacharitamānas.

There are innumerable versions of the tale; to name a few, they include the 12th-century Tamil language Rāmāvataram, 12th-century Kannada Rāmachandra Charitapurāṇa or Pampa Rāmāyaṇa by Nagachandra, 13th-century Telugu language Sri Ranganatha Rāmāyaṇam, 16th-century Rāmcharitmānas, and the 17th-century Adhyathmarāmāyaṇam Kilippattu. There have been many commentaries in Sanskrit on the epics from the 11th C to the 17th century ACE examining their meaning and intention. For example, a substantial tradition of writing narratives based on the life of [[lord Rama]], which can be traced in Kashmiri literature as early as the 19th century. Around seven Rāmāyaṇas are available namely:

# Rāmāvatāracharita (1847)
# Shankar-Rāmāyaṇa (1870)
# Vishnupratap-Rāmāyaṇa (1904-14)
# Ā[[nanda]] Rāmavatāracharita (1888)
# Rāmmāyan-i-Sharma (1919-26)
# Tarachand Rāmāyaṇa (1926-27)
# Amar-Rāmāyaṇa (1950)

Ramavatāracharit, which is available in published form, is the most well-known and significant of these. Among the available and unavailable Rāmāyaṇas of Kashmiri mentioned above, 'Rāmavatāracharit ' has a special place in Kashmiri literature and stands out for its popularity. In S.E Asia are the Khmer Reamker, the Old Javanese Kakawin Rāmāyaṇa; the Thai Ramakien, the Lao Phra Lak Phra Lam; and the Burmese [[Yama]] Zatdaw.

==Historicity==
There are many reasons to consider the epic or a part of it as historical truth. [[Rāma]], is portrayed as a living personality; he suffered mental, emotional and physical pain to which ordinary mortals are prey but he is also as an ideal king. Secondly historicity as we understand it today, was not of much concern to the authors and audience of past times; it was an oral tradition which was considered as a historical document. The journey of the triad and territorial identity should be included by the historian noting that past documents could have been lost. The Valmiki Rāmāyaṇa in its original form was an oral narrative which became a sacred book and a text on [[dharma]]. There is reason to believe that some part of it happened in the past. It was refashioned time and again to convert into a religious text or for other purposes. Rāma who is worshipped as the supreme form and main manifestation of [[Vishnu]] did not rise into prominence before the 11th and 12th Centuries CE.

==Oral Tradition to Narrative==
There are several versions of the Rāmāyaṇa that vary according to historical period, regional literary tradition, religious affiliation and political and social context. The original text, an epic composed by bards, was recited at sacrificial rituals, during feasts and the courts of the kings<ref>Mukherjee, Tutun, Saymon Zakaria: Ramayan Gaan or Singing the Ramayan in West Bengal, Assam, and Bangladesh. Asian Theatre Journal, Volume 37, Number 1, Spring 2020, pp. 89-106</ref>. The hero, Rama, rules from the city of Ayodhya over the kingdom of Kosala situated in the middle Ganges plain, claims descent from the solar dynasty. Rama is the chief of the righteous fighting against Ravana, a demon who fills the world with terror. Rama is the personification of an ideal king and his reign is symbolic in social memory, being a period of prosperity that has the term in Rāma-rājya.

==History or Myth==
Tales of the king’s adventures through the journey can be read as we see the architecture and arts in Ayodhya, Nepal, Sri Lanka, [[Hampi]] and Anegundi. In UP and Bihar, stories were appropriated as their own story, providing a sense of history. Lanka, Nepal, Karnataka and several other places were associated with the epic. From Rishyamuk Parbat to King Bali’s cave, local folklore connects many spots to the stories in the Ramayana<ref>Hofmeister TP. The Antilles: Fragments of Epic Memory. The Nobel lecture/The Odyssey: A Stage Version. International Journal of the Classical Tradition. 1995;1(4):136-146. Accessed January 20, 2024. https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&AuthType=ip,shib&db=aph&AN=9510043066&site=ehost-live</ref>. Hofmeister writes: No tradition survives without imitation, contestation of, or allusion to its established forms and ideas). That he was deified as a god was equally relevant during the early medieval period as found in artistic traditions of [[sculpture]] and architecture.
Naturally a question mark has been put about the reality of incidences that has been narrated in the text. The debate whether the king Rama, is a mythical character or a real-life ruler can run on for hours. The spreading of the epic throughout the human society from years after years was accompanied orally by many disciples from generation to generation. As it had been carried through oral recitation there was a lot of possibilities of addition and alteration at different stages of such progress.

But an inevitable question always arises whether the personality of Rāma mentioned in the epic is fact or fictitious? So, always there is a question mark whether the epic contains any historical fact, or it is a simple epic novel? It is quite evident that there are several portions found in the story which seems to be exaggerated. The composed verse was being spread from generation to generation through preceptors. During the passage of long journey quote from memory addition and alteration were incorporated. However, aggrandizement and magnification was a very common issue in the ancient period and can be compared to what was in ancient Greece. Thus it is difficult to dismiss it as mythology. There are many archaeological sources that have been lost, given the heavy building layered activity in areas associated with the Rāmāyaṇa. While positive evidences have been found regarding the Mahā[[bhārata]] [1] it is possible that some evidence will be found about Rāmāyaṇa in the future.

==Historical Context==
The question that should be asked is what was the historical circumstances that led to the rise of the hero and might have happened in the context of ancient Indian historical evidence<ref>Lal, B. B. In search of India’s Traditional Past: Light from the Excavations at [[Hastinapura]] and Ayodhya. India International Centre Quarterly. Vol. 2, No. 4 (October 1975), pp. 311-314. https://www.jstor.org/stable/23001887</ref>. The reason that there are different versions of it is that it was an oral tradition[2] and hence the poets’ imagination of an ideal king reigns supreme. However, it might have been true that Rama was a more compassionate leader than earlier ones. Secondly there was a reason why people had collective memory and built upon the ideology of Rama, his personality, and the narrative stories that were told and retold. They struck a chord to every class and group of people. A glance at the ancient historical period of various cultures gives us an idea why epics and narratives were exaggerated or held in historical memory. It was the historical context in which Rāma ruled that made him an ideal king, perhaps due to many wars or confusion, jealousies, intrigues, tribals, forest areas, that occur in the epic.

The historical circumstances during the post Indus Valley and pre-Buddhist period, the post second urbanization era, rise of kingdoms, strife at various levels probably contributed to his rise. Historically during a troubled period of confusion, a leader with values made sense. The epic was created with an adventure - a variety of personal, public, and popular themes and ideals.

The intervention by Rāma for a degenerating society; his enlightened way of living was the ideal. Historical circumstances probably provoked it as it had done during the ancient Greek period, when Homer wrote the Iliad. Authors exaggerated the accomplishments of the king, his ideals, his humanistic values of a king who stood for some sort of an ideal of dharma and justices. Society was perhaps, illogical, and unjust; elders were not respected; there was discord between man and nature, self and society. There was a quest for the infinite that provided a basis for understanding behavior and relationships, social relations, norms, practices, interests conflicts, difference of opinions, which was idealized by Rāma through respect, love and sacrifice. The epic built a social system that discouraged selfishness, anger, hate, greed, lust particularly among family members and turned towards stability through individual and social values of patience, tolerance, and duty.

Rama’s heroism was not merely on the battlefield but on his sacrifices and ideals that were magnified in the epic. It was going to be a golden Age where hope comes back; a peaceful era, with wealth and harvest and renewal. Rāma stood for renovation, continuity and preservation of ancient values. There was hope for man. It is not surprising that they associated him to be an avatār of Vishnu, the god of Preservation.

A cultural context normally gives rise to unknown events, unique leaders as it was in Greece. Perhaps, there was famine or environmental disturbances during the period; there might have been problems with village economies and hunger, and the hero promised release from these. History has been what is relevant, and useful in collective memory not what was necessarily written in India, which is different from western viewpoint. History (like art) constructs what is educative, useful, dramatic and enlightening.

Indian culture recognized the insecurity in man, environment and injustices. It strove to elaborate a condition and an atmosphere that portrayed stability, to reflect upon what is right and wrong<ref>“Indian culture is unique in its capability to create an environment that recognizes the insecurity and instability in man. “Lalit Kumar Das. Culture as the Designer. Design Issues: Volume 21, Number 4 Autumn 2005 41-53</ref>

The Rāmāyaṇa provided the theoretical and peaceful structure for Indian culture. To the unlettered, purely as a narrative of India, it provided roots to tap into many places which were named by kings with sites associated with the epic, that lent a sacredness to the local territory<ref>Van der Veer, P. (1992). Ayodhya and Somnath: Eternal shrines, contested histories. Social Research, 59 (1), 85</ref> He writes: Sacred sites are not only contested as markers of space but also as markers of time<ref>https://www.proquest.com/scholarly-journals/ayodhya-somnath-eternal-shrines-contested/docview/209664916/se-2</ref>. In UP and Bihar, stories were appropriated as their own story, providing a sense of history. Lanka, Nepal, Karnataka and several other places were associated with the epic <ref>Sankalia, H.D: The Role of Archaeology in India. Bulletin of the Deccan College Post-Graduate and Research Institute Vol. 33, No. 1/4 (1973), pp. 1-20</ref>.

Rāma, among royalty, has reinforced a certain image of political leadership and kingly power that stood for an ideology of respect, righteous leadership and a peaceful life<ref>Shereen Ratnagar: Archaeology at the Heart of a Political Confrontation The Case of Ayodhya. Current Anthropology. Volume 45, Number 2, April 2004. He adds “Archaeological methods and paradigms are bound to be ideologically inscribed in some way”</ref>. Hence later kings called themselves as Rāma. The Guptas, Chalukyas, Gangas, Cholas and Rajputs, all considered themselves as Rāma and renamed their territories as one of the sites related to Rāmāyaṇa<ref>Vergati, Anne: The Construction of Tradition: The Cult of the God Rama in Rajasthan, North India History and Anthropology,Vol. 15, No. 3, September 2004, pp. 263–271</ref>

==Dramatization of Themes==
Survival demanded imagination. The epic of Rāmāyaṇa is particularly interesting in its various themes, namely, the leadership of a king, his trials and tribulations, and his success. The Rāmāyaṇa evokes emotional and intellectual interests. Whether it is the Surpanakha’s episode or [[Bali]]-[[Sugriva]] duel, or for that matter, Vibhishan’s role in bringing down the downfall of his brother, the writers have not navigated the space between the right and the wrong.

The impact of the epic is due to numerous reasons. The narrative of Rāma in the forest evokes sympathy, his success in the war and return to his kingdom is refreshing and joyful. The story is magical, [[Hanuman]] could fly to the magical mountain<ref>Kumari, M.K. (2022). Tale of Hanumān’s Encounter with Kālanēmi: Gleanings through Literature and Art. Journal of History, Art and Archaeology, 2: 1, pp. 103-114. https://doi.org/10.47509 / JHAA.2022.v02i01.09</ref> ; his rescue of Sita and uproot the mountain, the devotion of Lakshmana shows his magnanimity and most importantly, [[Rāvaṇa]] the evil king of Lanka led to the rise of an ideal king of dharma. Sita is the queen of the Hindu womanhood, and her devotion to Rama was unflinching<ref>Zairu Nisha: Woman, Mother, and the Other: Unraveling the Matrix of Feminine Self. International Consortium for Social Development. 2023. https://creativecommons.or g/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/</ref>

It is not uncommon in mythology to create elaborate stories around historic heroic figures to elevate them to the level of gods who have time and again formed the basis for the development of religious sects. The same was true with the Greeks who created their gods. In the epic Iliad, there are mentioned more gods than what is mentioned in the Rāmāyaṇa. A critical comparative examination of ancient epics and narratives within a historical context will provide a reasonable understanding and interpretation of the epic<ref>Hsu, Jeremy. The Secrets of Stroytelling. Our Love for Telling Tales Reveals the Workings of the [[Mind]]. Scientific American Mind 19 (4: 46-51. Doi:10.1038/scientificamericanmind0808-46</ref>.

Rāmāyaṇa created a god out of a person, and it did not matter whether he ruled a small or a big kingdom, whether Kaikeyi loved or hated Rama, whether Ravana was a real demon with ten heads, or whether Sita was born in Nepal or India, or whether Rama built the bridge to Sri Lanka. Rama’s banishment was unjust, the personality of Kaikeyi, Manthara are ugly, unnerving, Dasaratha’s guilt, his obligations, and despondency impactful.

In the forest, far from the anguish of family politics, the moral imagination of Rama and Sita has expanded. As honored guests of the forest and its inhabitants, they begin to reconsider what it means to be human-not divine, armed and separate from the earthly habitat, but mortal, disarmed and in harmony with nature. The visual images are hypnotic. They are not merely illustrations, but condense different narrative incidents leading up to a crucial moment<ref>Vidya Dehejia, "The Treatment of Narrative in Jagat Singh's 'Ramayana': A Preliminary Study", Artibus Asiae, Vol. 56, No. 3/4, 1996, pp. 303-24; J.P. Losty, The Ramayana: Love and Valour in India's Great Epic, The Mewar Ramayana Manuscripts, London: British Library, 2008, p. 11</ref>.

Sita is a vital moral presence whose imagination is alert to the strangeness and wonder of the forest world. She understands that here is something profound and essential for a life to be called good life from which all social, traditional, or religious presuppositions have been erased. For instance, before meeting Jatayu, Rama had promised [[Agastya]] he would kill the [[asuras]]. Overcoming her shyness, Sita tells Rama that while he is the embodiment of dharma his vow is morally wrong. The desire for power can lead to [[adharma]], she says. In her hierarchy of evil acts, three are particularly dangerous. Telling lies is bad and adultery is shameful. It is a moment of ethical choice for Rama; of reconsidering human responsibilities and duties and she wants Rama to think and act like an ideal he aspires to be rather than a theologically bound prince. With respect and love, Sita tells Rama a story about how violence destroys an ethical man. Sita's moral stature is thus equal to that of Rama's.

Dramatic aspects of emotion, conversation, ethics, idealism, were woven around as the story of Rama was an oral tradition that was spread by word of mouth. They were enacted in folk theaters, and given detailed content in Valmiki’s Ramayana dynamically adapted to social and cultural changes. The narrative enforce the people with meaning - religious, theological through poems, Sanskrit writings, and folk stories. Valmiki’s epic poem (ca. 750–500 BCE) was enticing for generations. Hence we encounter a number of Rāmāyaṇa, produced – written, painted, sculpted, enacted with vividness, on a human and divine level.

There is truth and beauty in them due to philosophical, spiritual, real and fictious portraits, that provides an unending theme to the artist. In it we find the power of imagination - a variety of emotions of grief, longing ecstasy, vindictiveness. Subjects, kings, parents, children all can relate to it. It realizes the complexities of life; faithfulness, dharma, righteousness, filial piety, martial power, governance, land and leadership. The dramatization of Ram Lila dramatization, a fostered divinization. The Hanuman chalisā shaped the world of the medieval. The imaginary of ordinary folk was important .The institutional frameworks and environments in which these artistic works exist are multiple and serve as a methodological tool for understanding folk art practices from India, for they are often found in local communities, museums, private collections, or the handicraft market simultaneously.

==Arts, Sacredness and Divinization==
The epic is dramatic; it is a story to focus upon in drama, theater, [[dance]], [[music]], painting, sculpture, metal work and textiles. Emotional and intellectual content was appealing to all arts. Deification of Rama was achieved through various means, narrative, enactments, ethics, belief, drama and folk lore and particularly via artistic media - in visual and performing arts all considered on an equal plane.

In Indian folklore, songs, oral traditions and practices, the popular [[worship]] of Ram and Sita as one entity has existed from time immemorial. Mela of Rāmāyaṇa promotes the original Awadhi composed by Tulsidas between 16th and 17th centuries CE. Other rishis such as Rishi Valmiki, Acharya Vasishtha, Rishi Vishwamitra, Agastya [[Muni]], Nishad, Jatayu and Mata Sabri were minor [[deities]]. Bhajans and Kirtans, the Ramcharit [[Manas]] Path, and Sunderkand, Ram Stuti are recited and followed by Shuddh Nritya (pure dance) including todas, paran, tukada, tihai and jugalbandi are enacted.

On the walls of temples, in the Pappanatha in Pattadakal, are embodiments of the story, in the paintings in Mewar, on textiles are the combat of Rama and Ravana, prints of Raja Ravi Verma, and on photographs of devotion. Mewar, Kishangarh, Jodhpur, Bikaner, Chamba, Kangra or Guler assumed that the paintings had merit because they were illustrations of either religious motifs, legendary heroes, courtly life or decorative styles. This gave miniature art a social, moral and sacred purpose. It succeeded in making miniature paintings part of our social, moral world.
The artist created his sublime visions. Sita is a simple lady, compassionate, and listens to Jatayu’s tales. The forest is sacred, with birds, deer, trees. Nature is seen through beauty. Arts capture the peaceful, the tranquil, and the elementary. Models of goodness that avert tragedy were portrayed. Ravana with his multiple heads and arms, his golden palace as a dramatic battle can be seen on stage, poetry and paintings. The waking of Kumbhakarna and his going to the battle is hillarious. Hanuman’s journey to obtain the herb and taking back the entire mountain on his back as he soars through the air is captivating. The story telling devices in paintings of perceptual, conceptual view and continuous narration is common in Indian arts. The artist's facility in organizing the space is remarkable. A sense of balance Himalaya in search of the special herb that will save between the figures, landscape is depicted with a sense of time and space.

Many times when patronized by kings had a political function of propaganda as it was with the Rajputs. In the temple complex of Prambanan Indonesia is the iconographical programme with innumerable narrative scenes from the epic patronized by kings. The temple houses an outstanding iconographic program in its architecture, comprising scenes from the epic. Ramayana has disseminated across many parts of Southeast Asia in different ways, irrespective of the religious beliefs of these societies. Lanka is associated with Ravana and Sita’s vana.

The plant sanjivani - a herbal medicine that Lord Hanuman brought by lifting the mountain on which it was planted to cure Lord Ram's brother Lakshman) from Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka was central to the Hindu epic the Ramayana, being the scene of the battle between the Indian king Rama and the Sri Lankan Ravana. The epic had an important place in the unlikeliest places in Southern Sri Lanka, the Muslim Malay community. In Java, as in the rest of South East Asia and became a part of the local folk culture from the 9th C. CE onwards. Given that it spans more than one kind of society, the epic was immensely popular both as a linear narrative of the heroic as well as in the embroidered intricacies of the stories, all of which led to Rama being a God, [[avatar]] of Vishnu that changed the character of the epic.

==Conclusion==
The Rāmāyaṇa is an integral part of Indian culture. It is an epic of unending themes that arose within an historical and cultural context. The dramatic narrative weaved royalty, leadership, narrative, family life and values simultaneously. The interaction between ideology, narrative, and artistic traditions substantiated relevant values of cultural life. Ultimately Rama deified as a god that was equally relevant during the early medieval period. It was a dynamic method that reverberated and sustained kings, kingdoms and the populace in ancient and medieval times.
The narrative unfolds chronologically keeping in mind the human aspect of Rama as well as his ideology. The collective psychology of the people that needed the story of Rama and its spread and spatial occurrence is not a new phenomenon in the ancient world. History was made intelligible through folk lore, locale, drama and visual arts and geographical locale that was an outgrowth of earlier cultural process.

There is a range of texts, beliefs, and practices regarding the ritual and divine status of the image. A single sculpture possesses a range of possible meanings and significations depending upon its cultural context. It is essential to recognize the importance of the arts as influential factors for the sacredness of the epic. Historians need to recognize this fact and value its importance for a multitude of purposes. Narratives and arts acted together, and are interwoven in the religious, social, political, artistic, philosophical realms. The history of this interaction between Hindu imagery and practitioners, priests, curators, reformers, leaders can be still found today.

Rama and Sita should be viewed together by historians as it was and is in public [[consciousness]]. From ancient times, Rama and Sita preserved in public and historical memory suggests a discourse based on an ordered society on ideas of duty, compassion, and service. They are are cultural icons. Rama as an ideal leader and king. Sita is often seen as the uniting force, the ideal and keeper of dharma and human love. In Indian folklore, songs, oral traditions and practices, arts and the popular worship of Ram and Sita as one entity has existed from long.

A comparative understanding of the particular circumstances that led to the rise of the Rama will provide an accurate understanding of the hero. Rāmāyaṇa is not a purāṇa. The nature and function of an epic is tremendous, its spread, retention in collective memory, territorial relation, imaginative literature, substantiation in artistic modes is tremendous. Literary masterpieces are a product of historical circumstances.

Rāmāyaṇa tradition in northeast Bhārat

2024-01-21T17:58:07Z

By Virag Pachpore

Sri Rāma is worshipped and adored as national hero of Bhārat, an epitome of ‘Purushāthartha’ and his stories find diverse manifestation all over the country and even abroad. The story of the Prince of Ayodhya finds its way in the folk art, folklore and folk dances of the region. During his entire life, there is seldom any reference to Sri Rāma traveling to northeast Bharat as compared to Sri Krishna. His entire sojourn was from Ayodhya to Sri Lanka through the thick Dandaka forest covering the present states of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. One finds ample evidence of his presence in these states. But that is not the case here in the northeastern states of Bhārat. There is ample scope to believe that the Rāmāyaṇa tradition must have travelled to the hills and dales of the enchanting northeast Bhārat through the South East Asian region. This was later adapted by the people making some changes to suit their cultural surroundings and religious beliefs. Assam has a very rich Rāmāyaṇa tradition preserved in oral and written form and also as a performing art. The famous Rāmāyaṇa written by the great Assamese poet Madhav Kandali is still relevant to the people of Assam and held in great reverence to that of Valmiki’s work.

Nevertheless, there is evidence to prove the presence of Rāmāyaṇa tradition among the various janajāti people and communities in the northeast Bharat. Most surprising is the presence of folklore among the Mizo people<ref>90 percent of the Mizo community have been converted to Christianity.</ref> expressing their belief that Rama and Lakshmaṇa<ref>They called Lakshmaṇa as ‘Khena’</ref> taught them the art of cultivation of rice! However, they have a treasure trove of evidence and that too live ones, to prove their strong links – emotional, ethnic, political and cultural and linguistic etc. with the rest of Bhārat. The references to places, people and plants of the Mahābhārata period are amply found in these north-eastern states. And now, this seminar has brought to fore its connection to the Rāmāyaṇa tradition which is older to Mahābhārata in its historicity.

Many Muslims today accept Sri Rāma as Imam-e-Hind. Even the famous Muslim poet Mohammad Iqbal, who composed ‘Sāre Jahan se Achcha Hindosta Hamārā’, described Sri Rāma as ‘Imām-e-Hind’. Iqbal wrote:<blockquote>“Hain Rāma ke Vajud Pe Hindosta ko Naaz, Ahle Nazar samajhte hain usko Imam-e-Hind''.</blockquote>

During the late 80s, a seminar on Rāmakathā Traditions in the Northeast Bharat was organized under the auspices of Guwahati University wherein scholars from various states of the region participated and it was then this presence of Rāmāyaṇa became known to the people. Rest of Bhārat is yet to connect itself emotionally with the people of northeast, though the latter consider them as ‘True Bhāratiya’, and they have proved their loyalty to Bhārat during the 1962 Chinese invasion and on many other occasions. But it is most unfortunate that we still consider them as different from us, mostly due to their facial features and languages. Examples of such discrimination galore in the national capital and other metro cities.

However, what is more interesting is the presence of Rāmkathā among the various janjatis of the region. The Karbis, inhabiting the Karbi Anglong district of Assam, have a great tradition of Ramayana which is basically oral. The story of Rāma is known as ‘Sabin Alun’ and it is set in the milieu of Karbi customs and culture, traditions and beliefs and of course, their way of life. I was first introduced to the ‘Karbi Rāmāyaṇa’ by Swami Bangovind Parampanthi of Assam Vishwa Hindu Parishad. The great savant Lakhiman Guru who worked among the Karbi people, had revived this tradition. The Karbis believe that they are descendants of Sugriva, the King of ‘Kishkindha’ who helped Rama in finding Sita and eliminating Rāvaṇa, the King of Sri Lanka with his army of ‘Vānara’.The name ‘Karbi’ is also supposed to be a corrupt form of ‘Kaveri’, a river in south Bhārat considered as pious as the Ganga from where these people are believed to have migrated to their present habitat.

The people who can recite Rama’s song are held in very high esteem in the Karbi society. According to Karbi tradition, Rama goes to his would-be Father-in-Law’s house and works there in fields etc. to prove his competence as a ‘good’ groom who can take care of his daughter. Tiwa people in Assam also have oral tradition and preserve Rāmakathā as ‘Rāmāyaṇa Kharang’. The Rabha people have a folk song that says “let’s go and see the horse of Sri Rāma’.

Khamtis of Lohit district in Arunachal Pradesh also have their own version of Rāmāyaṇa which seems to bear the influence of Jataka Tales and Buddhist philosophy. The Khamtis are Buddhists. Their Rāmakathā is known as ‘Lik Chaw Lamang’. The Mismis, another janjati in Lohit district has a folk tale that has closeness to Rāmakathā. The Aka people in Arunachal’s Kameng district also relate them to Jambavana, a lieutenant in Rama’s Army.

In Meghalaya, a Christian-dominated state, the story of Rāma is equally popular. Especially, during the first telecast of Ramanand Sagar’s Rāmāyaṇa, a Serial on Doordarshan in 1987, most people in Meghalaya watched it with utmost devotion and concentration. The Khasis, Jaintias and Garo people have their own versions of Rāmāyaṇa. In 1900, the founder of the Seng Khasi movement Jeebon Roy, brought the story of Rāma in Khasi language first.

Similarly, Rāmāyaṇa was translated into Garo language by Redin Momin and was published years after his death in 1992. Among the Jaintia people there is tradition: If twin boys are born in any house they are named as ‘Rama and Lakhon’. But more interesting is the belief of people in the Ri-War area. This is an orange producing area and the oranges are sweet because they believe that Sri Rāma had brought them from Sri Lanka and dropped them in this area!

Most interesting folklore is available in Mizoram, a tiny state that has now adopted Christianity. Here Rāmāyaṇa is a story of ‘Khena (Laxman) and Rama’. There are various characters in this story such as Khena, Hawlaman, Luppirabon, Lucarina that can be identified with Lakshamana, Hanuman, Mahiravana and Ravana. The Mizo folk tradition accepts Ram and Khena as ‘Gods’ and believe that they taught them how to cultivate paddy. Rice is used in various religious ceremonies and in invocation to rice these two characters are invariably mentioned. The invocation to rice goes like this:

<blockquote>While the earthworm took earth for shaping world,
While Mother Nature modelled the world,
You were created by Khena and [[Rama]]</blockquote>

In Tripura also we find a rich Rāmakathā tradition. ‘Rajratnākara’ a historical chronicle composed in the 15th century mentions Puru Sena, a King who was contemporary to King Dasharatha of Ayodhya. He had attended a sacrifice ceremony performed by Dasharatha at Ayodhya. King Ramganga Manikya of Tripura was an ardent devotee of Sri Rama. Manipur, which has a dominance of Vaishnava sect, has rich Ramayana tradition preserved through kathak, folk dances, kirtan, and songs. The ‘Jatra’ tradition in Manipur also preserves this story as ‘Lairik-Thiba-Maiba’.

However, due to the advent of [[Christianity]] these historical records were either destroyed or made untraceable. It is however heartening to note that of late various universities in the northeast Bharat have started unearthing these ancient hidden treasures. In the advent of Sri Ram Mandir at [[Ayodhya]] such discoveries would prove to be the best adhesive to bridge the emotional gap between the people of northeast and the rest of Bharat.

'''Buddhism''' is also known as '''Bauddh Dharm''', '''Buddha Dharm''', '''Buddhaśāsana''', '''Buddhavachanam''', '''Akāliko Dharm''', '''[[Arya]] Aśtānga Dharm''', and '''Ariyassa Dhammavinayo'''.

The word 'Buddha' has been used not just in the Buddhist context, but also for arihants in [[Jain Dharm]], for Ganesh, [[Shiva]]<ref> [https://sanskritdocuments.org/doc_shiva/svarNAkarShaNabhairavastotram.html?lang=en-IN Svarnakarshana Bhairava Stotram]; Shiva here is addressed "''Namah Shuddhaya Buddhaya''" </ref> and others.

[[Gautama]] [[Buddha]]’s and his predecessor-Buddhas' teachings of four noble truths and eight-fold noble paths form a religion called as Buddhism. Buddhists are known historically as Bauddh, , Buddhadasa, Saugāta, Muktakachhas, Murdhabhishikta, Munigana (in southern India), Raktapata, Śākya, Śākyaputto, Śākyabhiksu, Āriyasavako<ref> P. 56 ''A Dictionary of the Pali Language'' By Robert Cæsar Childers </ref>, and Jinaputto<ref> P. 171 ''A Dictionary of the Pali Language'' By Robert Cæsar Childers </ref>.

While competition existed among the clergy Buddhism and tirthikas, there were also clerics of it and other sects that declared being Buddhist or worshiping Buddha isn't any different than being a member of a different sect. "Buddha tungal lawan Siva" or "Buddha is one with Siva" is declared.<ref> P. 101 ''Proceedings - Punjab History Conference'' By Department of Punjab Historical Studies, Punjabi University </ref> The 14th century Indonesian poem ''Sutasoma'' declares, "''They are indeed different, yet how is it possible to recognize their difference in a glance, since the truth of Jina (Buddha) and the truth of Shiva is one. They are indeed different, but they are of the same kind, as there is no duality in Truth.''”<ref> ''Sutasoma'' By mPu Tantular </ref>

==Noble Truths & Paths==
These four noble truths are:
# Dukha - It refers to the existence of suffering in the world.
# Dukha-samudhaya - It refers to the cause for suffering.
# Dukhanirodha - It refers that it is possible to stop suffering.
# Dukha-nirodha marga - It refers to the ways out of the suffering.

The eight-fold noble paths are:
# Samyak-drsti - It means right views.
# Samyak-sankalpa - It means right resolve.
# Samyak-karmanta - It means right conduct.
# Samyagjiva - It means right livelihood.
# Samyag-vyayama - It means right effort.
# Samyak-[[smrti]] - It means right mindfulness.
# Samyak-samadhi - It means right concentration.

So "the kinship of the religions of the country stems from the fact that Jains, Buddhists and Sikhs look back to Hinduism as their common mother."<ref> ''Religions of the World'' S. Vernon McCasland, Grace E. Cairns, David C. Yu </ref>

==Brahman in Buddhism==
:''See also: [[Brahman]]''
===Brahma as perfection===
It has been hard to determine whether the [[Buddha]]'s philosophy is atheistic, non-theistic or that it indeed does emphasize on the unity with Brahman like mainstream Hinduism does. Examining Buddhist scriptures and deciphering between the words [[Brāhma]] (e.g., Brahman) and [[Brahmā]]<ref>It means the demigod.</ref> has been hard. Referring to differentiation them, Buddhist scholar B. R. Barua says, "''The cases where the Absolute is clearly meant ought to be carefully distinguished from others where [[Brahma]] is referred''".<ref>P. 72 ''Dr. B.R. Barua Birth Centenary Commemoration Volume, 1989'' by Hemendu Bikash Chowdhury, Beni Madhab Barua</ref>

While "Brahmā" in Buddhist scripture, like Vedic scriptures, also refers to the non-eternal demigod, "Brāhma" ([[Brāhman]]) is believed by scholars to refer to the eternal perfect being, and the highest stage any person can achieve is labelled as Brahmā. For example in addition to [[Buddha]]'s [[Dharm]] being called "Astānga Mārga"<ref>It means eight-fold path.</ref> and Dharmayāna, it is also addressed "Brahmayāna" because the aim is to lead one to perfection of Nirvana. As the ''Samyutta Nikaya'' says, V, 5-6, "''This Aryan eight-fold Way may be spoken of as Brahmayāna or as Dhammayāna.''<ref>P. 77 ''Elements of Buddhist iconography'' by [[Ananda]] Kentish Coomaraswamy, Harvard-Yenching Institute</ref> Again the Buddha [[Dharm]] is equated with Brahma when "...he has become dharm, he has become brāhman." It is said that the cultivation of compassion in its purest form is "''called the divine life in this world (Brahman item viharam idhmahu).''"<ref>P. 419 ''Encyclopaedic Dictionary of [[Buddhism]]'' by Samir Nath</ref>

In this context Brahmā is interpreted to mean divine. In the ''Suttanipata'', 656, the Buddha says that he who has won the three-fold lore like self-denial, holy life and control and who will never be reborn is Brahmā.<ref>P. 121-122 ''The Buddha Image: Its Origin and Development'' By Yuvraj Krishan</ref> [[Buddhism]] is compared to Brahmā in other scriptures like the ''Majjhima Nikaya''<ref>Majjhima Nikaya I.60</ref> where the Dharmachakra of ''wheel of law'' is also called the Brahmā[[chakra]].<ref>It means ''wheel of Brahmā''.</ref><ref>P. 64 ''Indian horizons, Volume 1'' by Indian Council for Cultural Relations</ref> The word Brahmachakra was nothing new and it was first mentioned in the [[Upaniṣads]] and it is believed the Buddha having received Vedic knowledge, used the term.<ref> P. 47 'Buddha and Buddhist Synods in India and Abroad' By Amarnath Thakur </ref> The ''Majjhima-Nikaya'' also says that the Buddha is 'Brahmapatta' or "one who has attained Brahman".<ref>P. 5 ''Sri Venkateswara University Oriental Journal, Volume 18''</ref>, thus outlining that when Buddha became perfected by achieving Nirvana he also became Brahmā.

For the ultimate happiness of Nirvana, it is written that "''one who has attained Nirvāṇa''" it is said, "''may justifiably employ theological terminology''<ref>It means dhammena so Brahma-vadam vadeyya."</ref><ref>P. 20 ''The philosophy of religion: a Buddhist perspective'' by Arvind Sharma</ref> As one attains Nirvaṇa they have the knowledge of enlightenment. So further, in Buddhist scriptures, "Brahmajala" refers to the best knowledge achieved.<ref>P. 52 ''The Pacific world: journal of the Institute of Buddhist Studies, Volume 5''</ref>

Later Buddhist scholars connect the state of Nirvāṇa with Brahman. Buddhaghoṣa in his ''Digha''<ref>iii.8</ref> says that the "Tathāgata or Buddha is dhammakaya brahmakaya dhammabhuta brahmabhuta."<ref>P. 262 Philosophy, grammar, and indology:essays in honour of Professor Gustav Roth</ref> This statement translates as, "''For the Tathāgata is synonymous with dhamma and brahma and he who sees the dhamma sees the Buddha...''"<ref> P. 18 'Tradition and Modernity in [[Bhakti]] Movements' by Jayant Lele)</ref> Bhavaviveka uses the term Brahma-[[Abhyāsa]], meaning "practicing Brahmā" which refers to the Buddhist trying to become one with Brahmā.<ref>P. 230 ''To See the Buddha: A Philosopher's Quest for the Meaning of Emptiness'' By Malcolm David Eckel</ref>

[[Brahmacharya]] itself is a term used often to denote chastity and the way of the monk, both Śramana and Vedic. Buddha himself declared that the perfected religion he was preaching has always existed as a Brahma-faring path:
<blockquote>"Even so have I, monks, seen an ancient way, an ancient road followed by the wholly awakened ones of olden time....Along that have I done and the matters that I have come to know fully as I was going along it, I have told to the monks, nuns, men and [[women]] lay-followers, even monks, this Brahma-faring [[brahmacharya]] that is prosperous and flourishing, widespread and widely known become popular, well made manifest for gods and men."<ref>P. 57 ''Buddhist Art & Antiquities of Himachal Pradesh, Upto 8th Century A.D.'' By Omacanda Hāṇḍā</ref></blockquote>

Like its sister-religion Jainism, Buddhism emphasizes that while one is in the state of Nirvāṇa, he is said to dwell in Brahman. A perfected human is said to "''dwell in Brāhman''".<ref>It means "brahmund saddhim samvasati" in [[sanskrit]].</ref>

==Anatma==
Shiva too has been addressed as 'anatma'. For example, in a Kashmiri scripture's verse there is an invocation to him as the Universal Soul (sarvatma) and selfless (anatma.)

==Vedic interpretation in Buddhism==
[[Buddhism]] does not deny that the [[Vedas]] in their true origin were sacred but it holds that they have been amended repeatedly by certain Brahmins to secure their positions in society. The [[Buddha]] declared that the [[Veda]] in its true form was declared by Kashyapa to certain ṛṣis, who by severe penances had acquired the power to see by divine eyes.<ref>P. 177 ''The sacred books of the Buddhists compared with history and modern science'' By Robert Spence Hardy</ref> In the Buddhist [[Vinaya Pitaka]] of the ''Mahavagga''<ref>Mahavagga I.245</ref><ref>P. 494 ''The Pali-English dictionary'' By Thomas William Rhys Davids, William Stede</ref> section the [[Buddha]] names these rishis, and declared the Vedic rishis "Atthako, Vâmako, Vâmadevo, [[Vishvamitra|Vessâmitto]], [[Jamadagni|Yamataggi]], [[Angiras (sage)|Angiras]]o, [[Bharadvaja|Bhâradvâjo]], [[Vasistha|Vâsettho]], [[Kashyapa|Kassapo]], and [[Bhrigu|Bhagu]]"<ref>P. 245 ''The Vinaya piṭakaṃ: one of the principle Buddhist holy scriptures ..., Volume 1'' edited by Hermann Oldenberg</ref> but that it was altered by a few Brahmins who introduced [[animal sacrifices]]. The Vinaya Pitaka's section ''Anguttara Nikaya: Panchaka Nipata'' says that it was on this alteration of the true Veda that the Buddha refused to pay respect to the Vedas of his time.<ref>P. 44 ''The legends and theories of the Buddhists, compared with history and science'' By Robert Spence Hardy; "...to certain ṛṣis.</ref> By the practices of these ṛṣis severe austerities had acquired the power of seeing with divine eyes. They were:
# Attako - Ashtaka
# Vamako - Vamaka
# Vamadeo - Vamadeva
# Vessamitto - Viswamitra
# Yamataggi - [[Jamadagni]]
# Angiraso - Angirasa
# Bharaddwajo - Bharadwaj
# Vasseto - Vasishta
# Kassapo - Kasyapa
# Bhagu

Also in the "Brahmana Dhammika Sutta"<ref>Brahmana Dhammika Sutta II,7</ref><ref>P. 94 ''A history of Indian literature, Volume 2'' by Moriz Winternitz</ref> of the ''Suttanipata'' section of Vinaya Pitaka<ref>P. 45-46 ''The legends and theories of the Buddhists, compared with history and science''. By Robert Spence Hardy</ref> there is a story of when the Buddha was in Jetavana village and there were a group of elderly Brahmin [[ascetics]] who [[sat]] down next to the Buddha and a conversation began.

:The elderly Brahmins asked him,<blockquote>"''Do the present Brahmans follow the same rules, practice the same rites as those in the more ancient times?''"
:The Buddha replied,<blockquote>"No."</blockquote>
:The elderly Brahmins asked the Buddha that if it were not inconvenient for him, that he would tell them of the Brahmana dharm of the previous generation.
:The Buddha replied: <blockquote>"''There were formerly ṛṣis, men who had subdued all passion by the keeping of the sila precepts and the leading of a pure life...Their riches and possessions consisted in the study of the Veda and their treasure was a life free from all evil...The Brahmans, for a time, continued to do right and received in alms rice, seats, clothes, and oil, though they did not ask for them. The animals that were given they did not kill; but they procured useful medicaments from the cows, regarding them as friends and relatives, whose products give strength, beauty and health.''"</blockquote> So in this passage also the Buddha describes when the Brahmins were studying the Veda, the animal sacrifice customs had not yet began.

In the ''Mahāvagga'',<ref>P. xxx, ''Pāli grammar: a phonetic and morphological sketch of the Pāli language, with an introductory essay on its form and character'' By Ivan Pavlovich Minaev</ref> the Buddha declares:
<blockquote>The one who annihilates the sins in himself, who is not proud, who is passionless, whose spirit is humble, who has comprehended the Vedas and is chaste, for whom no joy exists in the world, that one is lawfully called a [[brahman]].</blockquote>

The Buddha was declared to have been born a Brahmin trained in the Vedas and its philosophies in a number of his previous lives according to Buddhist scriptures. Other Buddhas too were said to have been born as Brahmins that were trained in the Vedas.

The ''Mahāsupina [[Jātaka]]''<ref>P. 577 ''Dictionary of Pali Proper Names: Pali-English'' By G.P. Malalasekera</ref> and ''Lohakumbhi Jataka'',<ref>P. 30 ''The Jataka or Stories of the Buddha's Former Births'' By E. B. Cowell</ref> he declares that Brahmin [[Sariputra]] in a previous life was also a Brahmin that prevented animal sacrifice by declaring that animal sacrifice was actually against the Vedas.

Further, the ''Suttanipata'' 1000 declares that 32 mahā[[puruṣa]] lakṣana<ref>These are the auspicious [[symbols]] of the Buddha.</ref> that Buddhism uses are declared in the Vedic mantras.<ref> P. 121 ''The Buddha Image: Its Origin and Development'' By Yuvraj Krishan </ref> Brahmayu was a well-versed Vedic follower of the Buddha who by reading the four Vedas saw that the Buddha was auspicious as per his 32 [[symbols]].<ref> P. 371 ''Manual of Buddhism 1853'' By R. Spence Hardy </ref>

==Main Reasons for Buddhism's Decline in India==
[[image:Persecution1.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Islamist protest against Buddhists for Muslim Rohingya persecution by Burmese military.]]

[[image:Persecution4.jpg|right|thumb|100px|Buddhist temple vandalized and torched by Islamists in Bangladesh.]]
<blockquote>
“In 871, coming from Balkh, Ya'kûb ravaged the Buddhist temples of Bamiyan before conquering Kabul and driving out the Turki Shahis. From then on, these territories, until then devoted to Buddhism, would gradually convert to [[Islam]].” - Mustapha K. Chamakhi<ref> P. 75 “Islam in all its States” By Mustapha K. Chamakhi </ref>
</blockquote>
;Buddhism was mainly an ascetic religion
Buddhism had always been a monastic or ascetic religion with almost very few lay followers and so when Islamic people had invaded the Indian Subcontinent and persecuted all the Hindus,<ref>It includes Buddhists, Jains, Śaivas, etc</ref> due to the loss of Buddhist [[institutions]] such as their [[temples]] and universities, the outlawing of [[Hindu]] asceticism and the slaughter of [[Hindu]] clergy, they had no resources to continue their tradition and Buddhism waned.

;Militant Islam
The Taliban of Afghanistan destroying the Buddhist Bamiyan structures of ancient Afghanistan in the early 21st century is no different than how Islamists destroyed Buddhist structures.

Although Buddhism has received onslaught from militant Islam, Tibetan Buddhist scriptures predict a battle between Buddhism and Islam wherein Buddhism returns to and dominates Shambhala (Kashmir.) These descriptions can be found in the Kalachakra [[Tantra]] and the Vimalaprabha.<ref> P. 22 ''Proceedings of the Ninth Conference of the European Society for Central Asian Studies'' edited by Tomasz Gacek, Jadwiga Pstrusińska </ref> Tibetan Buddhist scriptures proclaim a 'mTha-'dMag' (''Final War'') wherein Dragpo Korlo-chan (Raudra Chakri) will combat kLa-klo-chos (Islam) and replace it with Buddhism.

As Buddhists were being persecuted by Muslim terrorists, the Sanatan societies of India gave them refuge. Dharmasvāmin the Tibetan pilgrim was bestowed with such from the Karnata Dynasty’s King Ramasimha of Mithila. Rahalasribhadra, the last Abbot of Nalanda, was supported by [[Jayadeva]] of Odantapuri. Melikian-Chirvani writes that the collapse of Buddhist [[kingdoms]] in eastern Iran led to a migration of Buddhists from there to Kashmir.<ref> P. 86 Islam and Tibet – Interactions Along the Musk Routes By [[Anna]] Akasoy, ‎Charles Burnett, ‎Ronit Yoeli-Tlalim </ref> In the mid-ninth century, there were migratory waves of Buddhist monks from Sind to Kathiawar.<ref> P. 116 Building Communities in Gujarāt: Architecture and Society During the Twelfth Through Fourteenth Centuries
By Alka Patel </ref>

;Indians are non-sectarian
Because most Indians are non-sectarian, there was never been a staunch sect in India. Parents do not usually advocate a particular sect or [[worship]] in a stringent way. Children of Buddhist parents were always free to pursue any form of worship they wanted, just as the children of royal monarchs did so.

Some continued worship Buddha or practicing Buddhism, but the popularity of Bhakti Movement centered around Vaishnavism and Shaivism, and so the Indian masses gave Bhakti-[[yoga]] more importance than either [[Karma]] or Gyana yogas. For instance, the Sivatatavasaram speaks of the growing popularity of Shaivism and decline.

Several Buddhists also continued worshiping Buddha alongside other non-Buddhist gods and saints.

;Miscellaneous
Sri Moolavasam was the centre of Buddhism in southern India and due to sea level rises, it (like [[Krishna]]'s Dwarka) submerged into the sea.

==Self-Defence and Buddhism==
Although Buddhists have historically, like Jains, practiced non-violence on an extreme level, not all Buddhist groups have believed this was a logical or ethical choice.

The pacifism of Buddhist communities led to them being ruled and then persecuted by Islamists in the medieval era and by communists [within China, North Korea, Tibet, and S.E. Asia] in the modern era.

In medieval and early modern Japan however, the Buddhist monks themselves were very practical. In a world plagued with warlords and bandits, they determined to help the innocent and to keep the peace within their territories. The monks who became ‘samurai’ (‘’warriors’’) were specifically known as ‘sohei’. They did not fight for wealth, land, women or glory, but simply to defend people and halt wars.

==Buddhism not a Nastika doctrine==
There were also Buddhists that were accused of believing in ideas outside of the Buddha's teachings, and they were called nastika in the "Bodhisattvabhumi" (a section of the ''Yogacarabhumi'' by [[Asanga]]) and the scripture also declared they should be subject to isolation so their views do not infect the rest of the Buddhist community.<ref> P. 174 ''Unifying Hinduism: philosophy and identity in Indian intellectual history'' By Andrew J. Nicholson </ref> Like the Manusmriti, the Bodhisattvabhumi also criticizes the nastika for reliance on logic only.<ref> P. 174 ''Unifying Hinduism: philosophy and identity in Indian intellectual history'' By Andrew J. Nicholson </ref>

==Six major traditions of Buddhism==
There are believed to be 6 specific oral traditions of Buddhism; The lineage from Tushita, the one from Nagaloka, from Uddiyana, from Bengal, from Bhetaka, and from Bhisokotacandana. Buddha Dipankara is said to have passed on teachings in all of these in disciplic succession right down to Gautama Buddha.<ref> P. 164 ''The Crystal Mirror of Philosophical Systems: A Tibetan Study of Asian'' By Thuken Losang Chokyi Nyima </ref>

==Buddha paradises were locations on Earth==
As Buddhism has been for most of its history a monastic religion, it had several heritages across the Indian Subcontinent. Each of the rural- and urban-commune ashrams headed by Buddhas were referred in Buddhist scriptures as a ‘Buddha-kshetra’. Buddhist scriptures acknowledge there were 5 principal ones, and each of them were at one point headed by one of the 5 Dhyani Buddhas.

# Akshobhya
# [[Amitabha]]
# Amogasiddhi
# Manjusri
# Ratnasambhava
 
The paradise of Amitabha, Sukhavati, is often spoken of as the best of these Buddha-kshetras. It is described as being in the west (i.e., western part of the Jambu-[[dvipa]] subcontinent.)

The exact location of it, based on the descriptions that are consistent with any Indian region, minus the mythology, is Dholavira (AKA Kotada Timba) on the island of Khadir-Bet in Gujarat state.

Dholavira was a major spiritual centre in the [[Indus Valley Civilization]] (IVC), as noted by studies.

Because [[Hindu history|history]] is so ancient, going back to the prehistoric eras of Paleolithic, Neolithic, Chalcolithic, and Bronze ages, the need to carry history forward in the form on myths became essential as not everybody was literate and Hindus needed to pass down historical events orally. [[History of ancient geography#Jambudwipa|The Indian Subcontinent]] has had many ancient cultures and civilizations, such as Soanian (500,000–125,000 BP), Bihrrana (7570–6200 BC), [[Anarta]] (c. 3950–1900 BC), [[Indus Valley Civilization|Indus Valley]] (3300–1300 BC), Black and red ware, Thrissur, Thoothukudi or Adichanallur (1800 BCE), and Vaigai or Keezhadi (1500 BCE) - all from different eras. Hence, all of the important historical events needed to be passed down from generation to generation.

Names of patriarchical persons or tribes are used metaphorically for either their descendants or followers. For example, names of rṣis being used to describe a person from that [[Gotra|lineage (pravara gotra.)]] This can even be seen in the [[Sikh Dharma|Sikh]] scriptures wherein it is declared that [[Guru Nanak]] met [[Gorakh Nath|Guru Gorakh]]<ref> Miharban Janam-sakhi and Puratan Janam-sakhi </ref>. While the 2 lived centuries apart the stories are actually using the name of Gorakh metaphorically to refer to his followers, just like how Sikh scriptures metaphorically refer to [[Guru]] Arjan as the 5th Nanak. Another example is of how a story describing [[sants]] Nanak, [[Kabir]], and Gorakh are sitting together having a discussion on [[God]] (again all 3 never lived in the same century.) A tribe-based example is how [[Hindu mythology explained#Hayagriva|Hayagriva is mentioned numerous times]] but refers to different people, such as Dadhikra and Keshi. Both [[Hayagriva]] and Varaha[http://mahabharata-resources.org/harivamsa/hv_1_43.html] exist as the names of Daityas too. Another example is of the numerous wars that occurred between [[Asura]]s and [[Deva]]s, the spiritual preceptor of the [[Asuras]] in every war is mentioned as [[Shukra]]. These wars occurred throughout many centuries so by 'Shukra' what is meant is the original son of [[Bhṛgu|Rṣi Bhargava]] and the descendants of that Shukra always being the priests and advisors of the Asuras. Names of at least 28 Vyasas have also been recorded in ''Vishnu [[Purana]]''.

Also, just as various people can have the same name but be unrelated, similarly you find in texts that many people have the same name because their parents named them as such. For example, [[Laxmi]] is the name for at least 5 separate [[women]] of different eras; 1) Wife (daughter of Khyāti and [[Bhṛgu]]) of [[Vishnu]], 2) Wife (daughter of [[Prasuti]] and [[Daksha]]) of [[Dharma Prajapati|Dharma]] (and mother of [[Kama]]), 3) Wife (daughter of Galava) of [[Dattatreya]], 4) Wife (daughter of [[Puloman]]) of [[Indra]], and 5) Wife (daughter of [[Varuni|Jaldevi]] and [[Varuna]]) of Mahasani. Similarly there are 2 persons named [[Airavata]] - the [[Matanga]] son of [[Iravati]] and the [[Naga]] son of [[Kadru]]. [[Soma]] is the name of a [[Vasu]] and also of the son of [[Anasuya]] and [[Atri]]. There are also various [[Manu]]s, [[Kapila]]s, and there are countless other examples of influential persons in [[Hindu]] literature having the same name.

Similarly a common mistake made by many people is to conflate 1 place with another because of similar names. For example, there are 2 Mandakini rivers, 2 Narmada rivers, [[History of Ancient Geography#Mountainous chains|2 Vindhya mountain ranges]], 3 Gokarna tirths, 3 Potalas, multiple Dwarkas, multiple '[[Ramayana#Ravana's Lanka is in Kashmir|Lankas]]', and several Gangas.

Another interpretation with names that must sometimes be made is with certain persons. 'Indra' is used to refer to many leaders of the Devas who also govern any of the [[Swarga]]s. Some Indras have been recorded by names as leaders of different eras, such as Purandara of the [[Satya Yuga]] and Mahabali to be an Indra in the future. 'Mahabali' itself is also sometimes a title for any ruler of [[Vitala]]-[[loka]] just as the original Mahabali Vairocana was. [[Kubera]] has been used to refer to people in his lineage. Another example is how Hanuman is called "Pavana-putra" (''Son of air'') or the son of [[Vayu]] (''Air'') in the [[Valmiki Ramayana]], not because he was the son of the Deva Vayu but because his father's name was Pavana, meaning ''air''. [[Valmiki]] built on that fact to make it a pun.

The meanings of stories have to be interpreted in the proper context and judgement must be made when to take a story literally and when figuratively. For example, the Vamana Purana<ref> Vamana Purana 37.16.23 </ref> states that sages [[Pitambara]] and [[Markendaya]] brought the [[Sarasvati]] River down from Swarga to Puskara city and the Kurukshetra region. This means that the rṣis built 2 important tirths or (places of pilgrimage) along the course of the river at Puskara and Kurukshetra, and that the rivers [[origins]] are in [[Himalayas]] (i.e., Swarga-loka.) Another example is the story of Mandapala in the Mahabharata. He was a childless saint who, after his [[Gyana Marga|asceticism]], "died" and went to the abode of [[Yama]] (i.e., Central Kashmir.) There he assumed the form of a Sarngika bird and from a female of that species who was named Jarita had 4 children. The explanation of this myth is that sage Mandapala retired to [[Yama#Yama's Kingdom|Yamaraj]] and there married Jarita of the Sarngika [[Hindu mythology explained#Totemic demonyms|totemic tribe]] and procreated 4 offspring. Another story is during the time of Emperor Mahabali when he usurped [[Amarāvati]] and the 33 Devas were forced to flee in the form of birds. This means that they disguised themselves as tribals of a bird gotra to avoid being identified and captive, much like the way Chanakya disguised himself as an [[Ajivika]] to not be captured by king [[Dhana]] Nanda‘s forces.<ref> P. 47 INDIA: Brief History Volume 1 By Symist </ref>

Persons were depicted and described totemically so that Hindus could easily identify them from the vast array of historical figures. Even on [[More dynastic totemic iconography|flags, animal symbols]] were the most common icons. [[Daitya|Asura Bali]]'s flag contained a serpent, [[Hanuman]]'s of a monkey, [[Krishna]]'s varying between Hanuman's flag in the [[Mahabharata]] and a flag of [[Garuda]] during his war with [[Bali]], and [[Skanda]]'s is of a hen. Totemic tribal identification was common in the ancient era, and there were different tribes represented by the same animal. For example, both Dandaśūkas (offspring of Krodhavaśā and Kashyapa) and Nagas (offspring of Kadru and Kashyapa) had the snake totem, while Kashyapa's wives Tāmrā, Pataṅgī, and Vinatā gave birth to birds, and the Matangas and Gajas both had the elephant totem. Even the Mahasupina Jataka explicitly states that "''bulls''" are metaphor in the scripture.

Most [[Hindu mythology explained#Pātalas and Swargas as regions within India|places are mythologized]] as being in another realm but are exaggerated descriptions of locations. One can see the remnants of totemic tribes' chiefdoms as typonyms, mentioned historically in texts and modern as placenames as well. Garuda Valley was actually a place on the Sutlej River. The Zhang Zhung Kingdom's capital is mentioned in Tibetan texts as Khyunglung Ngulkhar - the Silver Palace of the Garuda Valley.<ref> ''A Handbook Of Tibetan Culture'' By Graham Coleman </ref>

{{Cquote|Vyâsa said : “''O King! On the top of the mountain Sumeru, are located the Indra's heavens called Amarâvati (the abode of the Immortals) the Samyamanî city of Yama, the Satyaloka, the Vahniloka, the Kailâsa, Vaikuntha the abode of Visnu, and others.''"|4=Mahabharata 8.6.16<ref>[http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/db/bk07ch08.htm Mahabharata 8.6.16] THE SEVENTH BOOK

Although these paradises, all termed 'lokas' (''worlds'' or ''realms'') have been made to appear as unearthly heavens, they are regions adjacent to 1 another as is evident from their geographic descriptions. This can be seen by people moving from region to region and physical features, such as mountains and rivers, which run course through them. An example is the [[Yamuna]] River described as leading [[Sita]] to [[Rasātala]]. Another example is of the deluge that impacted Shraddhadeva Manu wherein "the earthly paradise" of [[Bhu-loka]], [[Bhuvar-loka]] and [[Swarga-loka]] were flooded.

Several paradises have been mentioned, and in many cases they've been identified with individuals. For example, Sukhavati with the [[Bodhisattva]] [[Amitabha]], Shambhala with Manjushri, and Olmo Lungring with [[Tonpa Shenrab Miwoche|Shenrab]].

==Disguising as Brahmans==
There are several stories wherein a person is described as having taken the form of a [[Brahman]]. This alludes to the person in question actually being a Brahman. For example, in 1 story [[Virocana]] is said to have given his own head in the form of a Brahman to Indra as a gift. This means that Virocana (who was never described as a Brahman in any text) has given his head- or chief-priest to Indra as a gift. Similarly, [[Gautama]] [[Buddha]] was shielded by torrential rainfall by Naga King Mucalinda in the form of a Brahman. This means that either the Naga king himself was a Brahman who offered Buddha refuge or that 1 of the king's Brahmans was ordered to do so.

==Self-sacrificing and Punishment==
===Sacrificing One’s Head===
•Bandara [[Basava]] had his head cut off at Cuttack to prove that [[Shiva]] was God and on the seventh day since having offered the sacrifice, by the grace of Siva he obtained a fresh head

•Ekāntada Rāmayya offered his own head to Shiva

•Jambur Lingayat offered his own head to Shiva

•[[Kali]] is said to have offered her own head. In the image it can be seen that her blood is used as sustenance while procreation is occurring in front of her. The meaning behind this metaphor is self-sacrifice wherein Kali had sacrificed herself for the benefit of her [Kal] [[gotra]].

•Purusha is said to have created the universe out of its own body parts

•Rambha offered his head to [[Agni]]

•Ravana offered 9 of his heads to Agni

•Virochana offered his head in form of Brahman. This means that he gave as gift to Prajapati one of his head priests/administrators

===Removing Another’s Head As Punishment===
These are exaggerations which embellish an even with a beheadings that never occurred:

•Brahma’s head was severed by Vatuka [[Bhairava]], and the dead [[Brahma]] was revived by Shiva’s [[yoga]]

•Daksha’s head was severed by Shiva, and replaced with a goat’s

•Ganesh’s head was severed by Shiva, and replaced with an elephant’s

•Mahabali’s head was severed in war but reattached by Shukracharya

•Renuka’s head was severed by Parshurama but later reattached by him or reattached mistakenly with the head of another person

===Other Sacrifices===
•Raja Dilip Ikshvaku presented himself by fighting a lion to defend the life of a rishi’s cow

•Raja Shibi Paurava offered his own flesh to an eagle so that eagle doesn’t eat the pigeon

==Animal sacrifices==
:''See also: [[Animal rights]], [[Animal sacrifices]], [[Ethics in Hinduism]]''

The sacrifices recommended for spiritual prosperity are metaphorical, which some mainstream scriptures, such as Mahabharata and Puranas, as well as [[Jainism|Jain]] and [[Buddhism|Buddhist]] ones, elaborate.

Gotras and royal cognizances are totemic symbolises. Hindus since the prehistoric ages have symbolically named their children after animals. The very word 'gotra' means ''cow stall,'' signifying totemism. 'Go' (''cow'') is used metaphorically for all animals, just like the term 'goshala' (''animal shelter.'') This is known in western languages as 'theriomorphy' and as 'zoomorphy'. Even demonyms of gotras and tribes are totemic, such as those mentioned in the Rig [[Veda]] and other early scriptures as the Upanishads. Notable in the [[Rig Veda]] are the Gotamas (''Oxen''), Kaushikas (''Owls''), Mandukyas (''Frog-sons''), Paravatas (''Turtle-doves''), Sunakas (''Doggies''), Vatans (''Calves''), and Vatsavats (''Possessing calves''.)<ref> P. 164 ''Encyclopaedia of Religion and Ethics: Mundas-Phrygians'' By James Hastings, John Alexander Selbie </ref> Some aggressor invader tribes of the [[Dasarajna War]] whom King Sudas and his [[Bharata]] tribe had triumphed over were the Ajas (''Goats''), Alinas (''Bees''), Kikatas (''Horses''), Matsyas (''Fish''), Pārāvata (''Turtle-doves''), Simyu (''Lion cubs''), and Visanin (''Horned''.) Other tribes mentioned in the Rig Veda include the [[Abhira]] (''Serpents'') and Nagas (''Serpents''.)

Further, 'Kashyapa' means ''tortoise'', while 'Matanga' means ''elephant'', and 'Bharadwaja' means ''skylark''. Scholars of non-paravara mGo-gnans or totemic tribes include, Badavavaktra (Hayagriva), Kuṣilāvacārya (Varaha) and Shabara-swamin (Shabara.)

Furthermore animal emblems remained very popular in use by monarchs on their dynasty's flags, including Chola Dynasty's tiger flag, Ratlam's Hanuman flag, and Seraikella's Garuda, lion, and swans flag.

===Hybrid iconography of people in Hindu history===
====Ajas as goats====
[[Daksha]] is portayed with the head of the goat.

[[Ajamidha|King Ajamidha]], ancestor or Pandavas and Kauravas, was the son of King Hasti by Aja.

Ajapārshva was one of the children of Arjun.

====Bhumiyas as mountains====
Bhumiyas, like Bhumiya Baba the Shaiv, Bhumiyaji[https://jainismpostcards.files.wordpress.com/2019/11/bhomiyaji-shikarjee.jpg?w=1024][https://jainismpostcards.files.wordpress.com/2016/12/bhomiyaji-calcutta-pancayati-jain-temple.jpg] the Jain sasana-deva, and the Shakta Shailaputri are worshipped. Parvati is the most popular of this gotra and her very name is patronymic, meaning ‘’Daughter of the mountains.’’ Machen Pomra was a Tibetan and is written to have met the Buddhist saint Padmasambhava. Sometimes, as in the case of Bhumiyaji, the yakshas are depicted as mountains. Pahari is a populous linguistic community in and around Himachal Pradesh, and its demonym means, ‘’People of the mountains.’’

====Gandharvas as half-birds====
This totem refers to a water-bird, the plava.

The Yaksha of Tirthānkara Kunthunāth was Gandharva.

====Gṛdhras as vultures====
Grdhras like Jatayu were good, while Grdhrayatu was a raksasa.

Grdhrakuta (Vulture's Peak) was Gautam Buddha's favorite retreat and he gave many of his sermons there.

====Guhyakas====
[[image:Vidhuka.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Vidhuka, a temple guardian with an elephant headdress]]
[[image:Elephant symbolism.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Symbolic animal headdresses and masks from cultures (similar to how Indians depicted Ganesh.)]]
[[image:Revanta.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Guhyaka chief Revanta]]
Guhyakas, like other Yakshas, are normally described as attendants of Kubera.

They are of a few kinds of Ganas; the elephant, Mattamayurka, and horse are the major tribes among them.

Revanta, their chief, is known from the Rig Veda to have been a son of [[Surya]]. Revanta is praised by Śālihotra in his work Śālihotra Saṃhitā. There is still a tradition of his [[worship]] during the Navratri festival.

In recorded history, we find coins of the Yaudheya Kingdom with "Gana" minted in them<ref> P. 145 ''Ancient Communities of the Himalaya'' By Dinesh Prasad Saklani </ref>, which demonstrates 2 important things; that they were familiar with their 'gana' Shaiva identity and the affiliation of Uttarakhand to the Guhyaks.

Another popular Guhyaka is Sahkhacuda, an attendant of Kubera. Dirghajangha was yet another.

=====Mayurkas as half-peacocks=====
[[image:Skanda.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Mayyurka chief Kartikkeya]]
[[image:Rakta Jambhala 1.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Rakta Jambhala in his totemic (left) and human (right) forms. Right: Rakta Jambhala among the 4 other Jambhalas, and [[Hindu Mythology Explained#Kuberas as tusked yakshas|Vaishravana]] in the centre.]]
[[image:Dharanendra.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Dharanendra, the attendant of Pārshvanāth.]]
The peacock is the bird that the Guhyakas particularly identify with.

Because the Guhas live in Vitala (Uttarakhand) and [[Skanda]] was one of them, scriptures also name him '[[Guha]]' and Guhapriyā. They are associated with birds. Guhas have historically also been called Mattamayurkas (''Wild Peacock'') as the peacock is usually the bird associated with them and the kingdom they controlled was called Bahudhanyaka.

Aiyangar Narayan has pointed out that the peacock is associated with Shiva. He is called Nilakantha<ref> Taitt. Samhita 4.5 </ref>, a name of the peacock as well. He is called Mahānāta, ''Great Dancer'' and the peacock dances.<ref> P. 225 ''Essays On Indo-Aryan Mythology-Vol.'' By Aiyangar Narayan </ref>

[[Skanda]] also had ancestry of the Ganas, which is why one of his titles is 'Ganaswami'.

A popular form of Skanda (meaning another person from his tribe) was Murugana (''Peacock Gana.'')

Another is Shanmukha, the Yaksha of the Jain Tirthānkara Vimālnāth who's written of riding a peacock. Trimukha was the Yaksha of Sambhavanāth, and he's written of as riding a peacock.

Vilayur (Peacock) is a surname still in use, particularly in Kerala, where there is also a village of that name. This is a significant symbol of the southern migration of the Guhyaks from their home in Vitala-Loka.

=====Matangs as half-elephants=====
Ganesh was born at Dhudi Prayag, at the confluence of the Pundavati and [[Alakananda]] streams.<ref> ''Seeing Spiritual India: A Guide to [[Temples]], Holy Sites, [[Festivals]] and Traditions By Stephen Knapp'' </ref>

The traditional stories about Ganesh having acquired an 'elephant-head' externally from Shiva having placed it onto Ganesh are popular.

In the world's tribal communities, animal headdresses have been popular, especially for priests to act as intermediaries to communicate between human and nature.

We know that Nila Gajasura was slain in battle by Shiva and his 'head' was placed atop Ganesh's body. This story is saying that the headdress crown of the [[Gaja]] tribe's chief Gajasura was taken by Shiva after the former's defeat and Shiva crowned Ganesh as the chief of the Ganas. Hence, Ganesh's title '[[Ganapati]]' (''Lord of the Ganas.'') There is even a mountain in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand called Hathi Parbat (''Elephant Peak.'')

Other venerated persons from Ganesh's tribe are Dharanendra, who is also worshiped in [[Jainism]], and Rakta Jambhala, who is worshiped exclusively in Vajrayana [[Buddhism]]. Because Rakta Jambhala is of the Gana tribe, he too is called Ganapati. Guhyapati and Acharya Buddhaguhya are other popular Buddhist Guhyaks. Both the Guhya Samaja and the Tathâgata Guhya Sutra are Buddhist scriptures composed likely by Guhyaks. Other Shaiv Matangs include Mita, Sammita, Salakatankata, and Kusumandarajaputra.<ref> ''Yoga Sutra'' 1.11.281 </ref>

King Hasti, ancestor or Pandavas and Kauravas, and the establisher of Hastinapur city, was son of King Bṛhatkṣatra.

======Others depicted with elephant heads======
Tso-ndzi Gkv-dzu is, like Ganesh, a king venerated by the Nakhi Bonpos of Sichuan and Yunan provinces of China. Dharanendra Yaksha (a.k.a. [[Vāmana]] Yaksha, Pārshva Yaksha) was attendant of the 23rd Jain Tirthānkara Pārshvanāth. He is depicted like Ganesh because he was of the same Guhyaka gotra. He is also known as Ahipa, [[Dharana]], Naga, Nagaraja, Nagendra, Padmapati, Phaniraja, Phanendra, and Sarparaja. Other Yakshas of Tirthānkaras include 3 identified simply as as 'Matanga' of the 7th (Shāntinath) and 24th ([[Mahāvira]].) Dharanendra is called by the same tribal name. Vāranandi (feminine form of 'Vārana' or ''elephant'') was the Yaksha of Suparshvanāth.

Gajakarna is another mentioned person of this gotra.

While many of them were Shiva's Ganas, some others were in the armies of Asuras, such as Kunjara in the military of Taraka. The demons Mani and Malla, although in the region of Maharashtra were called 'kunjara' (''elephant'') and 'gaja' (''elephant'') respectively, and were of the Guhyaka tribe there, slain by a Bhairava named Mahakasa Kant (Khandoba.)

Women named Vinayaki (feminine firm of Vinayaka) are mentioned in both Jain and Buddhist scriptures.

====Indra as a bull====
Indra as early as the Rig Vedic scriptures is mentioned as a bull in many.

{{Cquote|They who pervaded earth's extremest limit subdued not with their charms the Wealth-bestower: 
Indra, the Bull, made his ally the thunder, and with its light milked cows from out the darkness.|4=[http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/rigveda/rv01033.htm Rig Veda 1.33.10]}}

{{Cquote|The Heifer hath brought forth the Strong, the Mighty, the unconquerable Bull, the furious Indra.|4=[http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/rigveda/rv04018.htm Rig Veda 4.18.10]}}

====Kinnaras====
=====Garudas as half-eagles=====
[[image:Garuda statue in Nepal.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Garuda statue in Katmandu Square, Nepal.]]
[[Garuda]] was the name of a sub-tribe among the Kinnara who were descended from [[Vinatā]], a wife of Rṣi Kashyapa. Hence, this was a totemic title. The person Garuda is depicted as a half-man-half-bird. Garudas have also been called Suparnas because Suparna was an important Garuda.

The [[Ramayana]] mentions Suparnas (''Beautifully-winged''.) Suparna is also mentioned in the Rig Veda as a sun-bird.

Sumukha was the son of Suparna. In Persian texts, such as the Mazdaen Zadspram and Firdausi's Shahnameh, Sumukha becomes Simurgha. Further, as there have been several Garudas in the Himalayan regions, including in Tibet, the Sumukha-dharani Buddhist scripture appears to have been compiled by 1. Another tribesman or "son of Garuda" was Diṣāc̣akṣus.

The Gandharvas are described in ''Mansara'' "''as having animal-like legs, the upper part being human in form with a face like that of Garuda.''"

Whereas Kinnaras are mainly depicted as horse-headed (Hayagrivas) in [[Vaishnava]] scriptures, in Buddhist Jatakas they are usually Garudas. Tibetans have called them in scriptures, Khyungpo, and even Shenrab is written of as having flown one, meaning he had military assistance from one.

The Yaksha of the Tirthānkara Ṣantināth was also Garuda.

Garudas were the offspring of Kashyapa by Vinatā. Their sister-tribe by Vinatā is [[Aruna]]. Krishna in the ''[[Bhagavad Gita]]'' declares, "''I am Hainteya among the birds.''"

Bajpai (Hawk) is a surname still used today and is a related gotra.

=====Hayagrivas as horses=====
[[image:Hayagriva avatar.jpg|right|thumb|150px|The Hayagriva avatar, Badavavaktra.]]
Hayagriva (also called Hayasiras) is usually depicted as half-man-half-horse because the name itself means ''horse-necked''. It is a common name of Hindus, even today. Hayagriva was a Kinnara, a tribe which has existed in the Himalayas per Puranic accounts. They have been depicted as horse-headed (and as half-birds too) by scriptures because the horse is 1 of the totemic [[symbols]] of this tribe. Hayagriva and Hayaś[[irā]] are also the names of the son and granddaughter of [[Danu]]<ref> [http://www.vedabase.com/en/sb/6/6/29-31 Srimad Bhagavatam 6.6.29-31] </ref> because a [[Danava]] had married a Hayagriva.

Other notable, Hayagriva-Kinnaras include Turanga-vaktra (or Turanga-vadana) the horse-faced charioteer of Indra's Swarga. Dadhikra, Tarksya, Paidva, and [[Etasa]] are also noteworthy. Hayashya is a tribesmen depicted as guardian of the eastern gate of Kathmandu city in Nepal.

A Hayagriva that was a [[raksasa]] was Keshi, whom Krishna slayed. Hence, Krishna is called Keshava. Another prior to that raksasa was simply called Hayagriva and he had stolen the [[Vedas]] from Brahma. Matsya then recovered them.

The ''Hayaširsa Pañcarātra'' credits a Hayagriva with the expounding of the pañcarātra [[vidyā]] (pañcarātra knowledge.) The ''Visnudharmottara Purāna'' writes of him as a form of Sañkarsana (Vishnu), who is associated with knowledge, in particular with the pañcarātra knowledge. He is considered the master of the krama and akshara vibhaga, and 1 source states he was taught the krama method of receiving hymns by Galava Bahhravya. His name is Badavavaktra.

The Yaksha of the Tirthānkara Dharmanāth was a Kinnara, and because another Yaksha is called Garuda, Jain scriptures distinguish Kinnara from him. Thar implies Kinnara was a Hayagriva.

''Ghoțaka-mukha'' ("''horse-face''") is another name for the gotra and it appears in the ''Kāmasutra'', and a certain Ghoțamukha is reported in ''[[Artha]] Shastra'' 5.6 as a former master of political science.

They might be descended from Kāṣṭhā, who had married Kashyapa and gave birth to the tribe of the 'horse.'<ref> [https://www.vedabase.com/en/sb/6/6 SB 6.6.29-31 ] </ref>

====Kuberas as tusked yakshas====
Kubera is described in some scriptures, such as Vishnudharmottara Purana, as having tusks. This could mean that the totem of this tribe was a creature like a boar or elephant.

He is described as Yakshanath or ''Chief of the Yakshas''. The most prominent one was Visravas, the son of Rishi Visrava and Kubera tribeswoman Ilavada.

A Kubera was also the Yaksha of Tirthankar Mallināth.

====Kurmas as turtles====
[[Kurma]] was a turtle in afloat in a sea atop of whom was mounted Mt. [[Mandara]] as the [[Devas and Asuras]] twist [[Vasuki]] by pulling in a tug of war. Kurma means ''turtle'', as does the name Kashyapa. Puranas refer to Kurma also as Kashyapa. We know that several seers had their [[tirthas]] and ashrams at the foot of a mountain. What this story is saying is that at the bottom of Mt. Mandara by Sage Kashyapa's hermitage the Devas and Asuras partook in their competition for supremacy.

One can see that Kurma is just a metaphor for Kashyapa. There is a pilgrimage in [[Andhra]] Pradesh named Kurma arama, Turtle Grove, in the vollage of Kotipalli, which by legend is visited by the Vedic rsi Kashyapa. This means that a sage of the Kashyapa often travelled to the sanctuary.

Further, the Satapatha Brahmana declares, "''Prajapati having assumed the form of a tortoise (Kurma), created offspring. That which he created he made (akarot); hence the word Kurma.''" This is alluding to Kashyapa being the patriarch of several tribes; Nagas, Yakshas, and others.

Jain figures from this gotra include the Yakshas of Sumatināth and Shreyansanāth, named Kashyapi and Kashyapa respectively.

====Mahisas as buffaloes====
[[image:Mahisamardini Durga.jpg|right|thumb|100px|Durga.]]
[[Durga]], who is also called Gauri (''Female Gaur Buffalo'') was of the Mahisa or Gaur clan of Sritala-loka Patala. The demonic king she slew was called 'Mahisa-asura'. For releaving the subjects of tyrant Mahisa-asura's domain, she has been worshiped by them since and by many other Hindus in general.

While Gopalas (''Cow herders'') are believed to descend from Ne-Muni (the patriarch of Nepal) and normally recognized as the first ruling dynasty of Nepal, they were succeeded by the Mahisapala (''Buffalo herders'') who established the Mahisapala-vamshi (''Buffalo-herder dynasty.'')

A Yaksha also named Gauri was the attendant of Sreyansanāth.

====Mandukyas as frogs====
Jain Tirthankara Sambhavanatha's Yaksha was Bhrikuti, which is the name of a frog species.

Mandodari ' the frog princess' and queen of [[Ravana]] was born to Danava [[Mayasura]] by his wife Hema, an [[apsara]] who was likely of the frog tribe.

====Matsyas as fish====
[[Matsya]] was the person who helped secure Prince [[Vaivasvata]] Manu during the deluge that endangered the life of the monarch. His name was Ekashringa. Matsya means ''Fish'' and he is depicted as such but he was a fisherman who would have known where to guide the boat of Manu during the flood.

Other persons of this gotra include royals, such as that of the Matsya kingdom of ancient Punjab and Pandya kingdom of Tamilnad.

====Narasimhas as lions====
Narasimha had slain Hiranyaksha's brother Hiranyakashipu. He is depicted as half-man and half-lion. Either [[Narasimha]] was indeed the soldier's first name or his full name was [[Nara]] Simha. Lion is a common name whether it's 'Simha', 'Singh', 'Singhania', or another world. Nara itself is a name which many Hindus are given. Nara was also name to another [[Vishnu]] [[avatar]]. It is noteworthy that Narasimha was also a [[Sarabhas as griffons|Sarabha]], a tribe native to the Karakoram (in [[History of ancient geography#Mountainous chains|Hari-varṣa]]), where Hiranyaksha ruled from. Sarabhas were associated with lions and griffons.

Other persons of this Simha tribe were the Simhamukhas of Tibetan Buddhist scriptures. The Simyus of the Dasarajna War are also notable. Simbasya is a Simha who is depicted as guardian of the northern gate of Kathmandu city in Nepal.

====Rudras as bulls====
[[image:Mahakala.jpg|right|thumb|100px|Tibetan thangka of Mahākāla.]]
[[image:Yamantaka.jpg|left|thumb|100px|Tibetan thangka of Yamantaka.]]
Shiva's attendant named [[Nandi]] is always represented in temples as a bull and Shiva himself is described as a bull. Why? Because the Rudras are the children of the cow-tribeswoman Surabhi and Kashyapa. The males of the [[Rudra]] tribe identify with the bull totem while the females with the cow.

{{Cquote|May we not anger you, Rudra, with our homage, nor with ill-praise, O bull, nor with joint invocation!|4=Rig Veda 2.33.4}}

Mahā[[kāla]] is known to be a name of Shiva. Mahākālas are mentioned more often in Buddhist scriptures than Shaiv or other ones. They are normally depicted as bull-headed because the bull is Shiva's tribe. More commonly-known Bhairavas include Khandoba, Golu Devta, Swarnakarshana, and Vatuka.

A [[Mahākāla]] are also known as Bhairava. There are a few Bhairava Yakshas of Jain Tirthānkaras. This includes Nakoda and Varuna.<ref> Varuna is described as having 3 eyes, a bull for a vehicle, and matted hair. </ref> Two Mahākālis were the Yakshas of Tirthānkaras Sumatināth and Pushpadānta. Another Yaksha simple named Kalika and Kali were the attendants of Abhinandananāth and Suparshvanāth respectively.

Further, [[Gomukha]] the Yaksha of Tirthānkara Rishabha is believed to be Nandi. Gomidha was the Yaksha of Nemināth. Basically, they are a Rudra too.

An example of an asura from this gotra is Gomukha, the follower of Surapadma.

====Nagas as serpents====
The most popular tribe that is mentioned in scriptures and legends is that of the [[Naga]]s. The most popular among them are Krishna, [[Balarama]], Vasuki, and [[Sesha]]. Neminatha was the cousin of Krishna and is also often depicted with a canopy of serpents.

The Naga has historically appeared on banners of non-Nagas too. For example, Emperor Mahabali had it on his flag even though Nagas themselves were politically and militarily aligned with Krishna at the time.

Nagas are the descendants of Kashyapa by Kadru. They had [[Ananta]], Vasuki, [[Takshaka]] and [[Nahusha]] as children. Vasuki is the [[Asura#Areas of Asura control|ruler of the Pātala-loka]] of [[Rasātala]] while Takśaka has his [[Asura#Areas of Asura control|own city in the Pātala-loka]] of [[Sutala]]. From Nahusha's lineage descended Krishna, Balarama, and Neminatha. Apart from them, there have been other Nagas renowned for their spirituality. The Rig Veda mentions them. They include Arbudkadraveya Naga, Jatakarna Erwata, Sarprajni. Vrtra in the Rig Veda was also a Naga (called also "Ahi Budhnya" or ''Serpent of the Bottom'') but he became an enemy of Indra. (While the Rig Veda demonizes him as a monster, the later scriptures (i.e., Mahabharata and Bhagavatam) explain that he was a Brahman or priest.) Ṣiṣnadevas are also mentioned as a spiritual group who wear "asnatani sutrani" or ''starched threads'' (i.e., snakes around their bodies like Shiva.) The connection with snakes is made because Vasuki is called Ṣiṣna. A group of Brahmans called Brahmabhiras are also mentioned in the Rig Veda. Today there are still a group known as 'Abhira Brahmans'. There is also another called 'Nagar Brahmans'. Today, some Kashmiri Pandits have the surnames 'Nagari' and 'Sapru'. Nagvanshi are a section of Kshatriyas.

As Nagas, like the Yakshas, were historically numerous in Kashmir, 2 popular Kashmiri Buddhist missionaries became royal advisers to Balkhan invaders and converted them. Nagarjuna of Sadarhad Vana was the adviser to Emperor Kanishka while Nagasena was to Emperor Menander I. In the Buddhist Vinaya Pitaka<ref> Vinaya Pitaka (I, 3) </ref>, the Buddha is given shelter during a storm by Naga King Mucalinda who covers the Buddha's head with his own seven snake heads. The king then assumes the form of a young Brahman, and gives homage to the Buddha. This story means that the king was a Naga who was also a Brahman.

====Ṛkṣas as bears====
[[image:Minag Domgyi Gochen.jpg|right|thumb|200px|King Minag Domgyi Gochen, [[Yungdrung Bon|Bonpo]] guardian of the north direction.]]
Jambavat was the 'Bear' among the Vanaras, who lived in the Kishkindha kingdom and fought on the side of the Rama together with the Varanas. Today there is a Peer Kho cave temple, in the city of Jammu overlooking the Tawi stream, which is said to be where Jambavat meditated.

Tibetan scriptures write of a people called 'kosa' in the general northwest region of the Subcontinent who had bodies like men, the faces of bears, and claws of iron.<ref> P. 490 ''The Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism: Its Fundamentals and History'' By Dudjom Rinpoche, Gyurme Dorje </ref> In various scriptures, the Kosha tribe appears under names of its people, such as Domgyi mGocan (Skt: Rikshavaktra), ''Bear-headed one.''.That these 'heads' were mere masks can be seen in the description of Buddhist Saint Dorje Badane whose 3 dancers wear the masks of a lion, leopard, and bear.<ref> P. 63 ''Tibetan Religious Dances: Tibetan Text and Annotated Translation of the 'Charms yig'' By René de Nebesky-Wojkowitz, Dalai Lama V Ṅag-dbaṅ-blo-bzaṅ-rgya-mtsho </ref> A Naga (or klu-bdud) named Jo-bo-klu-bdud-mched-dgu is said to have had 9 black bear companions.<ref> P. 266 ''An Encyclopaedia of Buddhist [[Deities]], Demigods, Godlings, Saints and Demons: With Special Focus on Iconographic Attributes, Volume 1'' By Fredrick W. Bunce </ref>

The demonym 'Ṛkṣa' (or 'Riksha') implies that the tribe lives by the Riksha Mountains. This is in conformity with the [[ Ramayana#Riksha Mountains are the Siwalik Range|geography of the Ramayana]].

An ancestor of the Pandavas and Kauravas was King Rska, born to King [[Ajamidha]] by his wife [also named] Riksha.<ref> P. 80 ''Early Indian Historical Tradition and Archaeology: Purāṇic [[Kingdoms]] and Dynasties with Genealogies, Relative Chronology and Date of Mahā[[bhārata]] War'' By G.P. Singh </ref>

Other persons of this gotra mentioned by Tibetan scriptures includes, Mamo (also called Domgyi Gochen), Domgyi gLang-sNying (''Head of a bear''), Domgo Ma (''Bear-headed Indrani''), the Bonpo goddess gTumchen-mi-bzad Domgyi mGocan<ref> P. 1313. ''Buddhist iconography: Lokesh Chandra. Begun by the late Prof. [[Raghu]] Vira. Dictionary of buddhist iconography : [[Dhyāna]]-pāramitā - Gzuṅs.las.byuṅ.baḥi lha.mo Nor.rgyun.ma'' By Lokesh Chandra, International Academy of Indian Culture </ref>, and the pious Bonpo guardian-king Minag Domgyi Gochen.

====Sarabhas as griffons====
[[image:Sarabha pictures.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Sarabha incarnation of Shiva.]]
[[Sarabha]] is also a totemic tribe name. The most notable of whom is Sarabha, also known as Suluvesa, who fought Narasimha after the latter had gotten out of control. Apart from Jambavan, another non-[[Vanara]] in [[Sugriva]]'s army was a Sarabha who was the son of Parjanya. Because [[Nakula]] Pandava had a banner of Sarabha on his chariot, it means he had its tribesmen in his army. Rakshasas from this tribe were Varbha and Nissarabha, both in the army of Ravana.

The ''Shabara-swamin'' is a commentary by sage Yudhishthira Mimamsaka on the ''[[Mimimsa Sutra]]'' of [[Jaimini|Rṣi Jaimini]]. The ''Mimamsa-Shabara-Bhashyam'' is a commentary by Halligrama Subha Shastri. Jain scriptures mentions a Kalasena who was leader of the forest Shabaras.<ref> P. 513 ''Indian Kavya Literature, Volume 4'' By A. K. Warder </ref> Rama had paid sage Sarabhariga homage. Another intellectual of this tribe was the composer of the Sarabha [[Upanishad]].

The Sarabhapuriya Dynasty of Sarabhapur was of this lineage, particularly of the Amararya family. Its last known monarch was [[Jaya]] Bhattaraka.

The Buddhist Panchatantra writes of the Bodhisattva having been a Sarabha in 1 birth.

Jainism today mentions tribe. In the scripture Astapada the first Tirthankara Rishabha is compared to the 1 in its mythic shape;
:After bowing to Rishabha
:who is like the world-engenderring eight-legged Sarabha
:with a golden body

Just as ''Singh'' and other lion-associated surnames are used by mainly Indians of northwestern regions, so is Sarabha. An example is Kartar Singh Sarabha, a Sikh member of the Ghadar Party who was martyred fighting for the cause of India's independence in the 20th century.

Sarabhas may have been descended originally from Yama because both are of the Karakoram region and one of [[Yama#Yama's family background|Yama's sons was named Sarabha]].

====Sringas as deer====
Sringa was a rishi whose name means ''deer.''

Rohini, the daughter of Daksha was also known as 'Mrgasiras' (''Head of a gazelle.'')

====Vānaras as monkeys====
:''See also: [[Ramayana#Hanuman's Kishkindha is in Kashmir|Hanuman's Kishkindha is in Kashmir]]''
[[image:Krishna and Arjuna.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Krishna and Arjuna charioted in [[Mahabharata|Mahabharata War]] with Vānara flag.]]
Hanuman belonged to the Vānara (''Monkey'') tribe whose flag has a monkey as its emblem. In fact the Jain Ramayanas call the [[Ramayana#Hanuman's Kishkindha is in Kashmir|Kishkindha Kingdom]] to which Hanuman belonged "''Vānara-[[dhvaja]] Rajya''" (''Monkey-flag Kingdom''.)

The kingdom of which he was a subject of was Kishkindha (or Kishkindha-puri) within Vānara-[[dvipa]].

Hanuman of course was an Adivasi (tribal) soldier of the Kishkindha Dynasty.

In the Jain Ramayanas, such as the Paumarcharyam and Trishashtishalaka-Purusha Charitra, neither Hanuman nor [[Anjana]] (his mother) are monkeys in physical form but mere humans, as are the [[rakshasa]]s and others such as, Jambavan and Garuda. The scriptures mention that the Vidyadharas sport monkey flags.

====Vārahas as boars====
[[image:Manibhadra.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Vira Manibhadra a popular Yaksha who was a king that patronized Jainism, and is worshiped as a god in Jainism.]]
[[image:Mimar Paggi Gochen.jpg|left|thumb|150px|King Mimar Paggi Gochen, Bonpo guardian of the west direction.]]
Emusha [[Varaha]] was the name of the soldier that defeated the [[Daitya]] Hiranyaksha. The name itself means ''boar''. The story entails a princess named [[Prithvi Mata|Bhu (''Earth'')]] being kidnapped by Hiranyaksha and held captive in the [[Asura#Areas of Asura control|Daitya realm]] of [[Rasātala]]. Hence, the story was condensed to a demon having taken 'the earth' to the underworld, and a boar then came to fight the demon to save the world. The Varaha gotra is mentioned in the ''Rig Veda''<ref> 1.61.7 ; 8.77.10 </ref> and the ''[[Atharva]] Veda''<ref> 8.7.23</ref>.

Varaha-kshetra or Varaha's land is in Kashmir, more specifically in Baramulla as the very name of the district is Varaha. Other places, such as Wā'rāgām<ref> East of Drang in Biru; P. 166 ''Place Names in Kashmir'' By Shyam Lal Sadhu </ref> and the Nilamata Purana mentions a Varaha-[[tirtha]] for pilgrimage. King Lalitaditya (724-761 CE) according to the ''Rajatarangini'' is said to have built a Maha-Varaha temple at Parihasapura (modern Paraspor.) There are 2 noteworthy images depicting Varaha in Devasar. According to the ''Vishnudharmottara Purana'', Nrvaraha (like Vishnu) should be represented on Seṣa.

{{Cquote|He (Varaha) was besmeared all over his body with the blood of the Daitya (Hiranyaksha); and thus He came up from the Rasâtala and placed the earth on the waters. He then went away to His Vaikuntha abode.|4=Bhagavatam 2.34-38<ref>[http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/db/bk08ch02.htm Devi Bhagavatam 2.34-38] THE EIGHTH BOOK

Chapter II

On the uplifting of the Earth by the Sacrificial Boar </ref>}}

Kuṣilāvacārya was "''the preceptor of the boars.''" Other noteworthy Varahas include Varahakarna Yaksha in the palace of Kubera<ref> Mahabharata, Sabha Parva, Chapter 13, Stanza 16 </ref> and Varahamba the Asura mentioned in ''Mahabharata''<ref> Mahabharata, Santi Parva. Chapter 227, Stanza 52 </ref>. Mihira is noteworthy because he wrote the ''Varahamihira''.

Jain Varahas mentioned, include Manibhadra and Purnabadra Yakshas, and Bahuputrika Yakshini. Manibhadra and Purnabadra have been mentioned as Yakshas of Mahavira.<ref> P. 188 ''Prakrit Narrative Literature: Origin and Growth'' By Jagdish Chandra Jain </ref> Manibhadra and Purnabadra were chiefs of Yakshas; Manibhadra of northern ones and Purnabadra of southern ones. Varahaka was a female disciple of Pushpadanta.

Vajrakarna and Buddhist Vajravarahi are 2 other mentioned people of the Varaha gotra. The Manibhadras are a section of Varahas, mentioned in the Mahabharata, and in Buddhism, and Jainism.

 P.R.Ramachander

Bilwa ashtothara satha stotram
 (Prayer of one hundred and eight Bilwa)
 
 Translated by
 P.R.Ramachander
 
 (Here is [[a]] very peculiar and rare prayer addressed to [[Lord Shiva]]. It has 108 stanzas , after chanting each, we are supposed to offer [[a]] life of Bilwa at the Head of [[Lord Shiva]]. This [[stotra]] in Tamil is given in
 http://www.tamilbrahmins.com/translations-meanings/7122-[[bilva]]-ashtothra-satha-stotram.html
 And I happened to see it again in tamil in a compilation of stotras published by Sri Karthik agency , Madhurai.

Bilwa ashtothara satha stotram
 (Prayer of one hundred and eight Bilwa)
 
 Translated by
 P.R.Ramachander
 
 (Here is [[a]] very peculiar and rare prayer addressed to [[Lord Shiva]]. It has 108 stanzas , after chanting each, we are supposed to offer [[a]] life of Bilwa at the Head of [[Lord Shiva]]. This [[stotra]] in Tamil is given in
 http://www.tamilbrahmins.com/translations-meanings/7122-[[bilva]]-ashtothra-satha-stotram.html
 And I happened to see it again in tamil in a compilation of stotras published by Sri Karthik agency , Madhurai. There were lot of differences between both these texts and it was very difficult to guess the correct word in [[Sanskrit]] from the tamil script. I have made a best trial. I request those of you who have the [[stotra]] in [[Deva]] Nagari script to send it to me.)

Bilwa ashtothara satha stotram
 (Prayer of one hundred and eight Bilwa)
 
 Translated by
 P.R.Ramachander
 
 (Here is [[a]] very peculiar and rare prayer addressed to [[Lord Shiva]]. It has 108 stanzas , after chanting each, we are supposed to offer [[a]] life of Bilwa at the Head of [[Lord Shiva]]. This [[stotra]] in Tamil is given in
 http://www.tamilbrahmins.com/translations-meanings/7122-[[bilva]]-ashtothra-satha-stotram.html
 And I happened to see it again in tamil in a compilation of stotras published by Sri Karthik agency , Madhurai. There were lot of differences between both these texts and it was very difficult to guess the correct word in [[Sanskrit]] from the tamil script. I have made a best trial. I request those of you who have the [[stotra]] in [[Deva]] Nagari script to send it to me.)

Bilwa ashtothara satha stotram

 Translated by
 P.R.Ramachander
 
 (Here is [[a]] very peculiar and rare prayer addressed to [[Lord Shiva]]. It has 108 stanzas , after chanting each, we are supposed to offer [[a]] life of Bilwa at the Head of [[Lord Shiva]]. This [[stotra]] in Tamil is given in

Bilwa ashtothara satha stotram
 (Prayer of one hundred and eight Bilwa)
 
 Translated by
 P.R.Ramachander
 
 (Here is [[a]] very peculiar and rare prayer addressed to [[Lord Shiva]]. It has 108 stanzas , after chanting each, we are supposed to offer [[a]] life of Bilwa at the Head of [[Lord Shiva]]. This [[stotra]] in Tamil is given in

Bilwa ashtothara satha stotram
 (Prayer of one hundred and eight Bilwa)
 
 Translated by
 P.R.Ramachander
 
 (Here is [[a]] very peculiar and rare prayer addressed to [[Lord Shiva]]. It has 108 stanzas , after chanting each, we are supposed to offer [[a]] life of Bilwa at the Head of [[Lord Shiva]]. This [[stotra]] in Tamil is given in
 http://www.tamilbrahmins.com/translations-meanings/7122-[[bilva]]-ashtothra-satha-stotram.html
 And I happened to see it again in tamil in a compilation of stotras published by Sri Karthik agency , Madhurai. There were lot of differences between both these texts and it was very difficult to guess the correct word in [[Sanskrit]] from the tamil script. I have made a best trial. I request those of you who have the [[stotra]] in [[Deva]] Nagari script to send it to me.)

Bilwa ashtothara satha stotram
 (Prayer of one hundred and eight Bilwa)
 
 Translated by
 P.R.Ramachander
 
 (Here is [[a]] very peculiar and rare prayer addressed to [[Lord Shiva]]. It has 108 stanzas , after chanting each, we are supposed to offer [[a]] life of Bilwa at the Head of [[Lord Shiva]]. This [[stotra]] in Tamil is given in

Bilwa ashtothara satha stotram
 (Prayer of one hundred and eight Bilwa)
 
 Translated by
 P.R.Ramachander
 
 (Here is [[a]] very peculiar and rare prayer addressed to [[Lord Shiva]]. It has 108 stanzas , after chanting each, we are supposed to offer [[a]] life of Bilwa at the Head of [[Lord Shiva]]. This [[stotra]] in Tamil is given in
 http://www.tamilbrahmins.com/translations-meanings/7122-[[bilva]]-ashtothra-satha-stotram.html

Bilwa ashtothara satha stotram
 (Prayer of one hundred and eight Bilwa)
 
 Translated by
 P.R.Ramachander
 
 (Here is [[a]] very peculiar and rare prayer addressed to [[Lord Shiva]]. It has 108 stanzas , after chanting each, we are supposed to offer [[a]] life of Bilwa at the Head of [[Lord Shiva]]. This [[stotra]] in Tamil is given in

 Or on star Arudhra or Thursday with one hundred and eight leaves on head of Shiva,
 He would go to heaven and would be near Lord Shiva.
 
 Ithi Shiva rahasye , Gowri Narayana Samvadhe,
 Bilwashtothra satham stotram sampoornam.
 
 Thus ends the prayer of one hundred and eight bliwa leaves ,
 Which occurs in the conversation between Lord [[Vishnu]] and Parvathi,
 Which occurs in Shiva Rahasya.

Bilwa ashtothara satha stotram
 (Prayer of one hundred and eight Bilwa)
 
 Translated by
 P.R.Ramachander
 
 (Here is [[a]] very peculiar and rare prayer addressed to [[Lord Shiva]]. It has 108 stanzas , after chanting each, we are supposed to offer [[a]] life of Bilwa at the Head of [[Lord Shiva]]. This [[stotra]] in Tamil is given in
 http://www.tamilbrahmins.com/translations-meanings/7122-[[bilva]]-ashtothra-satha-stotram.html
 And I happened to see it again in tamil in a compilation of stotras published by Sri Karthik agency , Madhurai. There were lot of differences between both these texts and it was very difficult to guess the correct word in [[Sanskrit]] from the tamil script. I have made a best trial. I request those of you who have the [[stotra]] in [[Deva]] Nagari script to send it to me.)
