<strong>AllatRa</strong> <strong>by</strong> <strong>Anastasia</strong> <strong>Novykh</strong><br />

<strong>AllatRa</strong> sign, it was also one of the ways to interpret the ancient sacred legend about the<br />

unicorn and the Farno. Second, if the legend has a common Indo-European root, then its<br />

echoes (and, consequently, the remains of the Knowledge) must be sought not only in<br />

the ancient epic but also among the literary monuments of ancient Iran and ancient<br />

India.<br />

Take ancient India, for example. The most popular Vedic character there was exactly<br />

god Indra. Translated from Ancient Indian, the root of the word "Indra" means the<br />

indication of the spiritual Strength. Interestingly, it is mentioned that the ability to have<br />

many forms is peculiar to this god and that it can turn into a horsehair. Indra himself<br />

appears in myths as the God of Heaven who is connected with rain (water), who releases<br />

rivers and streams and pierces channels (just like the Slavic Indrik the unicorn). He is<br />

the "son of power", "drinking soma", friendly and is always ready to come to aid. And<br />

most importantly, it is Indra, according to the legend, who fights alone and conquers<br />

dragon Vritra (the demon of chaos), and his victory is equivalent to the victory of the<br />

dynamic principle (the forces of Allat) over the stagnant chaos (the Animal mind), and it<br />

leads to the <strong>org</strong>anization of the Vedic world of "broad areas". This battle appears as the<br />

central plot of the legend. If we consider that the ancient Indian "Vrtra" (Vritra) literally<br />

translates as "congestion" or "barrier", and that Indra represents spiritual strength, then,<br />

in essence, it all means overcoming the Animal nature, the spiritual victory of the human<br />

being over himself, his liberation.<br />

Rigden: Besides, Indra is believed to be the Guardian of one of the four cardinal<br />

directions. There is also a reference related to the Knowledge about the structure of the<br />

world. In particular that Indra rules over Svarga (Heaven); according to beliefs of the<br />

Hindus, it is a paradise located on the top of Mount Meru. And now recall that in the<br />

Slavic and Russian mythology, there was also god Svarog - the god of Heaven, heavenly<br />

fire, the father of Dazhbog and Svarozich. In the all-Russian chronicle of the beginning<br />

of the 12th century "The Primary Chronicle", which was included in the Hypatian<br />

Codex, the following mentions of it have been preserved, "...for this cause, he was called<br />

god Svarog ... and his son under the name of the Sun ruled over seven kingdoms. He was<br />

named Dazhbog ... The king of the Sun, Svarog’s son, he is Dazhbog...".<br />

<strong>Anastasia</strong>: That's right, it all has the same root! After all, though allegorically, but it<br />

speaks of seven dimensions and of the human being’s spiritual refinement of himself.<br />

Svarog, being the embodiment of heaven, according to the epics, "in the darkness of<br />

thunderclouds kindled the flame of the heavenly fire (lightning)". And then, "breaking<br />
