| Apr 20, 2019 at 22:38 | comment | added | Abhi | The 1924 date is based on the common belief that Nanda is 424 bc. That belief is based on identifying Megasthenes's Sandrocottus as Chandragupta MAURYA. But the 2nd king mentioned by Megasthenes is Samdrocyptus, which has NO phonetic similarity to Bindusara, but Samdrocyptus is more phonetically similar to Samudragupta suggesting that the dynasty contemporary to Alexander is the GUPTA NOT MAURYA. This is why people can't explain the inconsistency of dating Mahabharata to 3000 bc. | |

| Feb 8, 2018 at 4:08 | comment | added | Anubhav Jha | Panini was present at the time of Krishna, he wrote an epic named "jamvati vijayam" on krishna's winning of jamwati which is lost now, the dates giBen by western westerners for panini are not believable, if he was born after Buddha and mahavira why didn't he mention those two religions in his ashtadhyayai as examples even though he used words like vasudeva, yudhisther and bharata. | |

| Feb 7, 2018 at 19:32 | comment | added | S K | sorry - the first round warriors against western indology - kak, rajaram, elst, frawley et al are embarrassing, the epic language totally lacks gravitas and if any thing some people classify its language as "epic sanskrit." to account for its deviations from panini. epic language is overwhelmingly younger than rig veda although there might be occasional archaisms here and there. | |
