Dear Renu,

Wiki says:

''Mleccha (from Vedic Sanskrit mleccha meaning "non-Vedic", "barbarian", also romanized as "Mlechchha" or "Maleccha")

referred to people of foreign extraction in ancient India. Mlecchawas used much as bárbaros (Ancient Greek: βάρβαρος)

was used in Classical antiquity: originally to indicate the uncouth and incomprehensible speech of foreigners and then

extended to their unfamiliar behaviour, and also used as a derogatory term in the sense of "impure and/or "inferior" people.''

Sri Jayadeva has used it in his dasAvathAra stOthram.

''mleccha-nivaha-nidhane kalayasi karavalam

dhumaketumiva kimapi karalam

kesava dhrta kalki sarira

jaya jagadisa hare.

O God, in the form of the Kalki! For the destruction of the wicked, you carry a meteor-like sword in your hand, trailing a train of

disaster to them. Hail! Hari, God of the World, Victory to Thee!''

Dear RR ji,

But even though we are thought to believe that Mleccha sort of means a Barbarian..I somehow beg to differ now after reading Valmiki Ramayan cos all Kings were invited by Dasharatha to attend the coronation of Lord Rama as Yuvaraja..in fact it says that all Kings from every direction,Mleccha rulers,Arya rulers,Tribal rulers were seated in assembly in front of Dasharatha and Dasharatha shone like Devendra in the assembly of Gods.

So I guess the Mlecchas were not so Barbarian after all..otherwise what would they be doing in the Royal court of Dasharatha?
Its just that Mlecchas were not following a Vedic lifestyle.

So it clearly showed the respect was given to all leaders from each tribe and community be it Vedic and Non Vedic.

BTW why was Jayadeva praying for others to be killed?

Why couldn't he write poetry that was less violent?

Couldn't he say O" God in the form of the Kalki..for the reformation of the fallen..you carry a meteor like sword in your hand,trailing a train of upliftment to them.Hail!Hari the God of the world..the redeemer of the fallen.

Dear Renu,

In each avtAr, Lord Vishnu is depicted as a killer, sometimes in the most cruel way - Narasimha. :fear:

Dear RR ji,

The Kalki cant do that cos He would be jailed.

Anyway that is still no excuse for Jayadeva to write violent poetry!LOL

Here mleccha might have meant inferior (poor / illiterate) people because humans had the differentiation even in those days!

Dear Renu,

Jayadeva is helpless! He just followed the writers of DasAvathArams of Lord Vishnu! :sad:
