Muchukunda (ancestor of Shri Rama), son of Raja Mandhata, was born in the Ikshvaku dynasty (Suryavansha).
In a battle, demons dominated the deities. So,
Indra the Raja of deities requested Raja Muchukunda to help them in war.
Raja Muchukunda agreed to help them and fought against the demons for a long time. Since the deities did not have an able commander, Raja Muchukunda protected them against the demonic
onslaught, until the deities got an able commander like Kartikeya, the son of Bhagwan Shiva.
Then Indra said to the Raja Muchukunda, Hey Rajan, we the deities are indebted to you for the help and protection which you have given us, by sacrificing your own family life. Here in the
heaven, one year equals three hundred and sixty years of the earth. Since, it has been a long time, there is no sign of your kingdom and family because it has been destroyed with the passage of time. You came here in Treta Yuga and now its Dwapara Yuga on earth.
We are happy
and pleased with you, so ask for any boon except Moksha (liberation) because it is beyond our capacities“.
While fighting on the side of the deities, Raja Muchukunda did not get an opportunity to sleep even for a moment. Now, overcome by tiredness, he was feeling very sleepy.
So, he said, “Hey Rajan of the deities, I want to sleep. Anyone who dares to disturb my sleep should get burnt to ashes immediately“.
Indra said, “So be it, go to the earth and enjoy your sleep, one who awakens you would be reduced to ashes“.
After this, Raja Muchukunda descended
to earth and selected a cave, where he could sleep without being disturbed.
Kalayavan (Yavana/Yona/Greek) warrior king was undefeated and unmatched in battle due to a boon, but he was also merciless and cruel.muchukunda kalayavana krishna
He learns that Krishna is the only
person who can defeat him in battle and accepting this challenge sets out to invade Krishna’s kingdom, Mathura. When the two armies faced each other in battle, Krishna dismounts from his chariot and starts walking away, followed by Kalayavan. After a long time Krishna, followed
by Kalayavan, enters a dark cave. In this cave Muchukunda was sleeping since the time he was blessed by king of deities.
The person on whom Muchkunda’s gaze falls is doomed to instantaneous death. Kalayavan in a fit of anger and unable to see in the dark attacks Muchukunda
mistaking him to be Krishna. When Muchkunda opens his eyes, his gaze falls on Kalayavan who is immediately burnt to death. Krishna appears to Muchukunda in form of Ananta Padmanabha Swamy (same position in which muchukunda slept for many years).
The river which starts its flow from near that cave is now known as Muchukunda Nadi(River). In time lapse, it is known as Moosi (Musi) River, which flows through Hyderabad in Deccan Plateau, India.

Atmospheric Layers of Earth in Valmiki Ramayana.
Kishkinda Kanda of Valmiki Ramayana describes Jatayu and Sampaati flying high and getting their wings burned.
Sampaati describes atleast 2 layers of Atmosphere which indicates he must have gone atleast
15 km high from sea level. Valmiki Ramayana, Kishkinda Kanda, Sarga 61 describes Sampaati and Jatayu flying so high that they could see cities on the surface of earth, separately and singly, in the size of a chariot wheel.
Sampaati describes celestial music to be seen and heard somewhere, and somewhere else tinkling of jewellery, and elsewhere singing of many ladies dressed in red.
They also observed that a forest is positioned just as a patch of pasture on earth.
हे भगवन ईशान को मेरा प्रणाम ऐसे भगवान जो कि निर्वाण रूप हैं जो कि महान ॐ के दाता हैं जो सम्पूर्ण ब्रह्माण में व्यापत हैं जो अपने आपको धारण किये हुए हैं जिनके सामने गुण अवगुण का कोई महत्व नहीं, जिनका कोई विकल्प नहीं, जो निष्पक्ष हैं जिनका आकर आकाश के सामान हैं जिसे मापा नहीं
Shri Rama Rajya in Padma Purana
Padma Purana not only says all people are happy about Rama, it gives interesting details of the conversations among Rama’s subjects at night, reported to Rama by his spies [all collected from their homes and not from the streets.
For instance, in one home a mother, suckling her infant asks him to drink as much of her milk as possible – for he is not going to get it in his coming lifetimes. There will no future lifetimes for him – those who live in Rama’s city will have no future lifetimes,
they will attain liberation [moksha] in this life itself. In another home, a wife compares her husband to Rama and the pleased husband denies the comparison – where is Rama the sun in the sky and where is he a mere moth;
Vishpala is a woman mentioned in the Rigveda . The name is likely from viś "settlement, village" and bala "strong", meaning something like "protecting the settlement" or "strong settlement".
She had knowledge of warfare - she took the lead and protected her settlement.
In the event she lost her right leg - Ashvinis ( termed angels ) fitted her with a metal leg.
The anatomy, physiology, embryology etc. are discussed very clearly in Vedas.
The surgery is the most amazing science found in Rig Veda over thousands of years ago.
It mentions the concept of Artificial Limbs in history of prosthesis.
The foot of Vispala, the wife of Khela, was cut off, like the wing of a bird, in an engagement by night.

A Vedic Hindu Mandir’s architecture is a divine and yogic representation of a human being as shown in the figure . The feet represent the spire (rajagopuram). The hands represent the walkway (prakaaram) encompassing all around the Devalaya.
The main hall (mandapam) represents the abdomen.
The entrance porch (antaraalam) represents the heart. The sanctum sanctorum (garbha griha) represents the head. The deity is consecrated with religious rites in the sanctum sanctorum. There is proportionality between the size of
the deity in the sanctum sanctorum and the sizes of the Mandir construction details.
Now, whenever we come across any Hindu Mandir we often see couple of patterns. One sees fractal-like spires (shikharas), and other parts of the architecture which are self-similar to the
