1. And from the south long, wild, and shrill, Came spirit voices boding ill.
Like elephants in frantic mood, vast clouds terrific, sable-hued,
Hid all the sky where'er they bore Their load of water mixt with gore.
Above, below, around were spread Thick shades of darkness strange and
dread,
Nor could the wildered glance descry A point or quarter of the sky.
Then came o'er heaven a sanguine hue, Though evening's flush not yet
was due,
While each ill-omened bird that flies Assailed the king with harshest cries.
There screamed the vulture and the crane, And the loud jackal shrieked
again.
Each hideous thing that bodes aright Disaster in the coming fight,
With gaping mouth that hissed and flamed, The ruin of the host
proclaimed.
Eclipse untimely reft away The brightness of the Lord of Day,
And near his side was seen to glow A mace-like comet boding woe.
Then while the sun was lost to view A mighty wind arose and blew,
And stars like fireflies shed their light, Nor waited for the distant night.

His flames are like roaring waves, and
his sound is like the thunder of heaven.
In the beginning was the word
Agni
14. God who of all the Gods was born divnest, endowed
With ample strength and mighty powers, and bearing
in his arms the yearning thunder, with violent rush
caused Heaven and Earth to tremble.
Before the mighty God, at his birth, heaven trembled,
Earth, many floods and all the precipices. The strong one
bringeth nigh the Bulls two parents; loud sing the winds,
Like men in air’s mid region.

Bubaneswar (Earth’s Lord) is an ancient temple city. Inspired and armed with such and other related heritage
inputs, we conducted a study of the Star Chart as on c.2000; ground survey using GPS comprised of Geographical
maps; Thedolite; Satellite imagery; Computer Aided Designing; and field survey. Further inspired, we used
mathematics related to positional astronomy and concluded as follows.
Location and design of the man made heritage at Bhubanesvar have been guided by night sky patterns. There is
a 1-to-1 star-temple correlation. Such correlation is centered around the star Betelgeuse in the sky and
Parasuramesvar (alias Rudra) temple respectively on the ground
