Yudhisthir, Vikramaditya, Shalivahana and the new year

By Sri Chiraan 2008/10/29

Bali pratipada, kartika sukla padyami is celebrated as a new year in many parts of India. It is the year when Vikramaditya ascended the throne with a rajyabhisheka from his capital Ujjain. He was born to a Brahmin, Govind Bhat to a Kshatriya apsara from heaven. 

5109 years have passed since advent of Kaliyuga. There are six yugapurushas in this yuga. They will also be known as  shaka-kartas. Yudhisthira Saka lasted for 3044 years, then came Vikramaditya , whose saka will be for 135 years. After this will rule Shalivahan from Pratishtanpura. (Paithan). His era will last for 18000 years. After which a new shaka purusha will come by name Vijayabhinandan will rule from the banks of vaitarni river. His era will last for 10000 years. Then will come Nagarjuna who would rule the earth from the banks of Kaveri, whose era will last for 400000 years. Kalki will come down to finish of mletchas when only 800 years would left for Kaliyuga to finish. All these kings will be  born in a yoga where 9th lord and 10th lord combined in a Simhasanamsa.

When such combination comes in paravatamsa, Manu and Bali, Agni are born. In bramhalokamsa, Chaturmukha Brahma is born from the navel of Lord Narayana in Ksheersagara. The Incarnation takes place in Devlokamsa and in Iravatamsa Swayambhu Manu is Born.
