Significance of linga and 4 spheres on Sit Shamshi

bronze and Meluhha hieroglyphs on Candi Sukuh linga

The message of Sit Shamshi bronze, consistent with the Akkadian inscription is viewed as a

metalwork catalog by bronze workers celebrating a gangga sudhi 'water purification' puja, a

consecration also referred to on Candi Sukuh linga inscription.The gloss sudhi also indicates that

the consecration is related to veneration of ancestors. Water purification is a metaphor for

purification processes in metalwork, removing impurities from minerals to produce pure metal

and also alloy metals. See: http://bharatkalyan97.blogspot.in/2013/06/ancient-near-east-bronze-

age-legacy_6.html

Depicting water ablutions on sunrise or sunset in front of the four-step ziggurat: Susa. Sit-

Shamshi (Musée du Louvre, París).

kolmo ‘three’ (Mu.); rebus: kolami ‘smithy’ (Te.) [ mēṇḍhā ] A crook or curved end (of a

stick, horn &c.) and attrib. such a stick, horn, bullock. [ mēḍhā ] m A stake, esp. as

forked. meḍ(h), meḍhī f., meḍhā m. ʻ post, forked stake ʼ.(Marathi)(CDIAL 10317)

Rebus: mẽṛhẽt, meḍ ‘iron’ (Mu.Ho.) Together: kolami meḍ 'smithy iron'. A pair of linga + 4

spheres is dula 'pair' Rebus: dul 'cast metal'. Thus the reading: dul kolami meḍ 'iron casting

smithy'.

Two devotees offer water ablutions to the Sun divinity at dawn and dusk. The Sun is symbolized

by the Ziggurat temple flanked on either side by a linga-s and 4 spheres.

What is the significance of the pair of linga and 4 spheres flanking a dagoba, ziggurat? [

lōkhaṇḍa ] 'metalwork' [Hieroglyphs: (lo + gaṇḍa) 'phallus + four, swelling'; Rebus: loh 'copper,

metal' + kāṇḍa ‘tools, pots and pans and metal-ware’ (Marathi)]

The sword hieroglyph, khaNDa reinforces the rebus reading as kanda 'fire-trench' used by

metalcasters. Fire-trench PLUS smelter furnace constitute the tools of trade of metalcasters and

are denoted by the hieroglyphs: membrum virile and kuThi, pudendum mulibre in Candi Sukuh,

Central Java; read rebus: kanda 'fire-trench'; kuThi 'smelter'.

2

The word dagoba is cognate with dhatu garbha, denoting the smelting of minerals (dhatu) in a

smelter as a metaphor for the bearing of a child in month's womb (garbha). This imagery

becomes the central presentation of an ancient Hindu kole.l temple; koil, 'temple' (Tamil), as a

metaphor of creation in a cosmic dance. Hence, the hieroglyphs of linga + 4 spheres flank the

ziggurat, dagoba. dhatu garba lit. means 'the womb of minerals (the earth)'. The Sit Shamshi

bronze is a representation of the cosmic dance repeated on the earth with the work on dhatu,

minerals yielding metals, pots and pans, tools and weapons. The metaphor of the divine

as paramaatman, 'supreme divine' is born.

The imagery of linga and 4 spheres is paralleled on a 1.82m. tall linga of Candi Sukuh temple

together with an inscription in Javanese and hieroglyphs of: kris sword-blade flanked by

hieroglyphs of sun and crescent-moon.

The 1.8 metre lingga of Candi Sukuh has four such balls and also has an inscription (representing

the vein of the phallus) that reads: ‘Consecration of the Holy Gangga sudhi in … the sign of

masculinity is the essence of the world’.

Three stakes on Sit-Shamshi bronze.

Glyph: [ mēṇḍhā ] A crook or curved end (of a stick, horn &c.) and attrib. such a stick, horn,

bullock. [ mēḍhā ] m A stake, esp. as forked. meḍ(h), meḍhī f., meḍhā m. ʻ post, forked

stake ʼ.(Marathi)(CDIAL 10317) Rebus: mẽṛhẽt, meḍ ‘iron’ (Mu.Ho.) Vikalpa: khuṇṭ ‘stump’.

Rebus: khũṭ ‘community, guild’ (Mu.) Thus, three jagged sticks on the Sit Shamshi bronze may

be decoded as khũṭ kolami ‘smithy guild’ or, meḍ kolami 'iron (metal) smithy'. 'Iron' in such

lexical entries may refer to 'metal'.

The Candi Sukuh temple fortification on Mt. Lawu in Central Java is comparable to one of the

16 pyramids in Greece dated to 2720 BCE called Pyramid in Hellenicon, Greece (Fig. 7).

The four balls of the penis are also clearly shown on a 6 ft. tall linga inscribed with 1. a sword;

and 2. inscription in Javanese, referring to 'inauguration of the holy ganggasudhi...'

Metaphor: Sh. K.ḍoḍ. lō m. ʻ light, dawn ʼ; L. awāṇ. lō ʻ light ʼ; P. lo f. ʻ light, dawn, power of

seeing, consideration ʼ; WPah. bhal. lo f. ʻ light (e.g. of moon) ʼ.(CDIAL

11120). + kaṇṭa 'manliness'. Metaphorical rendering of the effulgence (sun and moon) associated

with the pillar of fire yielding the imagery of an representation of a fiery pillar with

unfathomable beginning, unreachable end, thus of infiity of the Mahadeva representing the

paramaatman for the aatman in search of nihs'reyas (moksha), from Being to Becoming, the way

earth and stones transmute into metal in the smelter and smithy, kole.l 'smithy, temple'.

Bharatiyo, 'metalcasters' (Gujarati) are awestruck by this parallel with the cosmic energy

replicated in the energies of the smelter, fire-altar and smithy. Hence, the veneration of the

linga + 4 spheres as the essence of every phenomenon on cosmos, on the globe, of the world.

These hieroglyphs and related metaphors thus yield the gestalt of Bharatiyo, 'metalcasters'

(Meluhha). This enduring metaphor finds expression in sculptures on many Hindu temples of

Eurasia.

The gloss gaṇḍu 'manliness' (Kannada); 'bravery, strength' (Telugu) is a synonym of the

expression on Candi Suku linga inscription: 'sign of masculinity is the essence of the world'.

Thus, the gloss lokhaṇḍa which is a direct Meluhha speech form related to the hieroglyph

composition on Candi Suku inscription is the sign of masculinity. The rebus renderings of

khandoba or kandariya mahadeva are elucidations of the rebus gloss: kaṇḍa, 'mahadeva S'iva or

mahes'vara.' The hieroglyphs deployed on the 1.82m. tall stone sculpture of linga with the

inscription and hieroglyphs of sword, sun, moon and four balls deployed just below the tip of the

phallus are thus explained as Meluhha speech: lokhaṇḍa. The rebus rendering of the phrase

is: lo 'light' and kaṇṭa 'manliness'. These attributes constitute the effulgence of the linga as the

fiery pillar, skhamba venerated in Atharva Veda Skhamba sukta as the cosmic effulgence as the

cosmic essence.
