Pragjyotish Before the stars could foretell Saradindu Bandyopadhyay Translated from the original Bangla by Indrani Chakraborty The Aryans, Dravidians, Huns and Mongols—each primary race evolved through a period which could be considered its early youth. During that phase of immature and uncontrolled youthful vigour, with lack of foresightedness, they made some impossible promises and took on rather ludicrous challenges which ultimately they did fulfil.

The Aryans, as we know them today, experienced this phase perhaps even before the Kurukshetra War [1]. Those were the days before the almanacs and scriptures. The sun, the moon, the planets and other celestial bodies traveled in their own orbits without a care.

Man was yet to start keeping a strict eye on their movements and actions. The valiant Aryans landed on the Indian soil and drove the primitive aboriginals beyond the Vindhyas. That was not all; the Aryans began calling them by various pejorative names - demons, fiends, and bandits. Then it so happened that Agastya, the famous sage, and his companions set out for the Dakshinatya in what came to be referred to as the Agastyajatra [2] and never returned.

The Puranas do not mention whether the rakshashas and fiends devoured them alive. The bravehearts among the Aryans, however, continued to sneak beyond the south of the Vindhyas. Two young Aryans ventured deep into the south with their army and after driving out the dark-skinned thieves and robbers from some select fertile lands founded their own kingdom.

These two valiant Aryans were Maghoba and Pradyumna. The two were bosom friends. Friendship is no longer such a strong bond these days; you need a friend for casual banter. But in those days, when one was surrounded by diabolical adversaries, friendship had the opportunity to manifest itself in all its glory. The two friends used their combined might to establish their kingdom.
