Evidence in Tamil
TIGER AND KALAN
        • This symbol reads like this:
          Kalan is holding the symbol of
          his anus -- meaning there by
          Dhanistha Nakshatra/ day of
          Dhanistha/ 23 rd day of
          moon month. (Delphini
          constellation)
        • The tiger indicates the
          Auriga constellation and
        • The feeding trough indicates
          the Orion constellation.
        • It means that a person had
          died in the month of Auriga /
          Orion, and on the 23rd day of
          moon month.
HUMAN SACRIFICE
        • This goat seal shows human
          sacrifice. The head is placed
          before the god on a stool. The
          inscription reads like this:
          (from left to right) On the Day
          of Karthigai -- (or) ----Grahana
          day---- next symbol is
          damaged not visible
        • Fish symbol means-- month of
        • Sacrificed ( –vessel) ---one
          human being in honour of
          tree dwelling god.
        • Goat (Aries) was witness to
          that sacrifice
        • 7-Dancers - Pleiades
YOGI SEAL
     • The script in this seal reads like
       this (from left to right): In
       honour of God Mrigashira
       (symbol “X”-- ) on month of
       Purva Phalguni (part of fire pit)
       month – (fish-- )—on
       Aquarius day (symbol for
       water-) (U-symbol for day-- )

     •    It is likely that some ceremony
         was held on the day specified
         on the seal. The ceremony
         could be either death
         anniversary or some sacrifice.
BULL SACRIFICE

       • This Namam (U-shape Tilak)
         may be indicating the blood
         sacrifice done.
       • Three parallel lines may be an
         indication for the third day
         ceremony
       • spear may be standing for the
         meaning “day”/spear planting
         ceremony on grave of a
         soldier
       • This One and half line stroke
         might be meaning “Month of”
       • The last symbol stands for
         Aquarius month.
BULL AND ORION CONSTELLATION
BULL AND TROUGH   SKY MAP
• Kalan is grabbed by Raahu and
                 Ketu (probably the crab symbols
GRAHANA DAY?     indicate the Grahana day here).
                 The symbol of twin snakes
                 joined to form “U” shape
                 indicates the Aslesha month.
               • It can be seen that there is a
                 quotation mark between snakes
                 which specify that it means a
                 month.
               • This fish symbol does not mean
                 a month here. Most probably it
                 stands for “fish day” (27th day in
                 the moon calendar).
               • The last sign “U” symbol as usual
                 means “the day”
