The following are some of the rules which may help an inquirer in
ferreting out the deep significance of ancient Sanskrit nomenclature to
be found in the old Aryan myths and allegories:
1. Find out the synonyms of the word used which have other meanings.
2. Find out the numerical value of the letters composing the word
according to the methods given in ancient Tantrika works.
3. Examine the ancient myths or allegories, if there are any, which have
any special connection with the word in question.
4. Permute the different syllables composing the word and examine the
new combinations that will thus be formed and their meanings, &c. &c.
I shall now apply some of the above given rules to the names of the
twelve signs of the Zodiac.
I. Mesha.--One of the synonyms of this word is Aja. Now, Aja literally
means that which has no birth, and is applied to the Eternal Brahma in
certain portions of the Upanishads. So, the first sign is intended to
represent Parabrahma, the self-existent, eternal, self-sufficient cause
of all.
