By some coincidence, wanted to make a post on this recently. There is an interesting symmetry between us our & Iranic cousins: The restoration from the mlechChAdi will involve on their side a descendant of kauui ushan, while on our side it will involve the collateral bhArgava line: rAma jAmadagnya -- both waiting with immortality to spring out when the time comes. rAma bhArgava will train kalkin in arms for the overthrow of the mlechChAdi.
