Connecting Biblical and Indian personalities as per Bhavishya Purana

Source: Bhavishya Purana

Note : I don’t yet have access to the Bhavishya Purana Sanskrit Text, I am sharing some data that I found interesting from the Source given above.

Adam and Eve : are connected with Adama and Havyavati. Adama was the son of Vishnu Kardama. Kardama was the father of Kapila of our Sankhya Philosophy. The “serpent” that tempted the couple to eat the “apple” (of the PapaVrksha) was Kali Purusha. If all these connections are accurate that would make Adam a younger brother of Kapila. The “Eden”:  was in a forest on the eastern side of Pradan city where there is a a big God-given forest, which was 16 square yojanas in size. The Mlecchas are descendants of Adama.

Noah : Nyuhah was descended from Adama. (Adama- Svetanama-Anuta- Kinasa-Malahalla-Viradha-Hamuka-Matochhilla-Lomaka-Nyuhah). Noah cannot in any way be coonected with Satyavrata Manu. Each had their own seperate flood.

Mleccha Dharma : Having good behavior, wisdom, qualities like a brahmana and worship of God, these things are called mleccha-dharma. The great souls have declared that the dharma of the mleccha is devotion to God, worship of fire, nonviolence, austerity and control of the senses.

Jesus as a Contemporary of Salivahana :

Pratisarga Parva, Chaturyuga Khanda Dvitiyadhyayah, 19th Chapter, Texts 17 to 32 : The shlokas are from the Source and the translation is mine.

Note : The author of this source identifies the grandson of Vikramaditya, mentioned below with Salivahana (the reason is that the divitiya adhyaya is titled the age of Salivahana).

vikramaditya-pautrasca
pitr-rajyam grhitavan
jitva sakanduradharsams
cina-taittiridesajan

The grandson of Vikramaditya, acquired the kingdom of his fathers. He defeated the Sakas, Chinese, the Taittiris,

bahlikankamarupasca
romajankhurajanchhatan
tesam kosan-grhitva ca
danda-yogyanakarayat

and (defeated) the bahlikas, the kamarupas, the romajas, the khurajas and chhatas.

sthapita tena maryada
mleccharyanam prthak-prthak
sindhusthanam iti jneyam
rastramaryasya cottamam

mlecchasthanam param sindhoh
krtam tena mahatmana
ekada tu sakadiso
himatungam samayayau

He determined the mlecchadesa as the other side of the Sindhu and named the AryaDesa which was this side of the Sindhu as Sindhusthanam.

Texts 22 :

ekadaa tu shakadhisho
himatungari samaayayau
hunadeshasya madhye vai
giristhan purusam shubhano
dadarsha balaram raajaa

Once upon a time the subduer of the Sakas, went towards Himatunga and in the middle of the Huna country (Hunadesh – the area near Manasa Sarovara or Kailash mountain in Western Tibet), the powerful king saw an auspicious man who was living on a mountain. And saw “balaram raajaa”.

Texts 23 :

ko bharam iti tam praaha
su hovacha mudanvitah
iishaa purtagm maam viddhi
kumaarigarbha sambhavam

When asked who he was, he smilingly said that he was the son of Isa, born of Kumari.

Text 24 :

mleccha dharmasya vaktaram
satyavata paraayanam
iti srutva nrpa praaha
dharmah ko bhavato matah

“I am the propounder of the Dharma of the Mlecchas. And a practitioner of Truth.” Then the king asked him, what is your Mata? (Mata means accepted view point: translated loosely and commonly as religion, in modern times).

Texts 25 – 26

shruto vaaca mahaaraaja
praapte satyasya samkshaye
nirmaaryaade mlechadeshe
masiiho ‘ham samagatah

iishaamasii ca dasyuunaa

praadurbhuutaa bhayankarii

taamaham mlecchataah praapya

masiihatva mupaagatah

Hearing the king’s questions, he answered, “having observed the destruction of Truth in the Mleccha Desas, I became a Masiha (Messiah).”

Texts 27 – 29

mlecchasa sthaapito dharmo
mayaa tacchrnu bhuupate
maanasam nirmalam krtva
malam dehe subhaasbham

King! Listen to the Dharma that I have established in the Mleccha Desa. Having made your mind and body pure…..  (2 slokas of the mata skipped)

Text 30

isha muurtirt-hradi praptaa
nityashuddha sivamkari
ishamasihah iti ca
mama nama pratishthitam

My name  has stabilized as Isa – Masiha,  because I have attained the form of Isa, which is pure and auspicious in my heart.

This term Isa – Masiha, Prophet of the Lord, the founder of the religion of the Mleccha Desa,  is connected with Jesus Messiah. The son of Isa (the Lord, yah-vah, Siva) and Kumari (a girl – ?mari Kumari is also a name of the Devi), is perhaps another reason for connecting the personalities.

If this connection is accurate, then we can know that Vikramaditya’s grandson and Jesus were contemporaries and that Jesus came east after already being known as the Messiah.

After this, Salivahana requested Isa – Masiha to remain in Mleccha Desa. He performed th Aswamedha Yajna and ruled for 60 years.

Further Research is Necessary. This is just data gathered from one source.
