Iran's Ancient Kings Had Sanskrit Names 

Greeks were known for mangling names for example Chandragupta is still known as Sandrocottus by the Greeks.

I am a Turk, and many of our khans (kings) before Islam (when their religion was Shamanism) had the name Ishbara, it is from Sanskrit Ishvara. It was a very common name among Turks, we see it all over our old inscriptions.

Agree. Just because the Greek couldn't pronounce his actual name and conveniently called him PORUS, can Raja Purushottam be forgotten from history?

As a Persian, I'm just amazed! Thanks for this information 👍

I would like to recommend a good book .. *India that is bharat* by sai Deepak.

"Sanskrit Centric India" bill needs to be Pass in Parliament... Otherwise we loose our Ancestors Achievement...

No doubt why Parsis are so loyal to India, the richest minority of India 😇

If you listen to Avestan scared chants you'll find them quite similar to Sanskrit sacred chants. It was quite astonishing for me when I listened to them the very first time.

Abhijit sir I don't know about Sanskrit names but my neighbour is Iranian and he showed me a book that they have that is based on panchtantra and he says do you speak Sanskrit we have tales in Sanskrit in Iran. So I feel u are right about the names too.

संस्कृतम्/Sanskrit has so heart touching names😇✌🏻 I don't know about the others, but I found them very pleasant to my heart 🌸 💖

Although i am Muslim but the more i learn about Hinduism i am too shocked that how old it is..

One more addition = Darius in Greek= Darya Vahush in Avestan/Sanskrit. Avestan & Sanskrit are sister languages and borrow a great deal from each other. Examples: Ahuras are gods in Avestan, Asuras are demons in Sanskrit, Deivas are demons in Avestan, Devas are gods in Sanskrit. Words like Mitra, Pitr, Vayu are common between both languages.

Persia's history was full of greatness before the Arabic invasion

This is exactly similar to what the Macedonian called their king Alexander and in Asia he was known as Sikandar and as per Sadguru Jaggi Vasudeva Ji the name Sikandar means very powerful warrior and it is derived from the Sanskrit name Skanda / Skandar which refers to Lord Shiva's second son Karthikeya who is a fearsome warrior and Skanda became skandar and subsequently Sikandar. Even Russians have named their fearsome missile as Iskandar 😊😊🙏🙏

There are lot of similarities in many Sanskrit and Persian words but that definitely does not mean Persians used Sanskrit words. This king kshayarsh in Sanskrit means leader and in Persian means hero. Also this word is from old Persian written in cuneiform

When I would study ancient history I used to wonder Who was ruling Persia during Mahabharata? Did Greeks or Persian have any affiliation with India during Rama's reign? etc. I seached many sources but never got a profound explanation as you gave. Thank you so much sir!! I don't know Why the hell this was concealed from us Indians? By the way, I have a question which I request you to answer. Question : Who was "Kalyavan" in Mahabharata? Was he a Persian king? What dynasty he belonged to?

*Greeks gave purush the name porus and the name given to Kurus/Quresh (arabic name of kurus tribe) was Cyrus*

Sanskrit is one of the most oldest language in the world But If we talk about teaching it in India, we are called out as backward mind people. Being Muslim and trying to learn Sanskrit is a challenge But one day Sanskrit will unite the Eurasian peninsula.

This was a great short video 💯 Hope it reaches to people 👍

The more I know , the more I am blow away by our history.

I've heard that the Rig Vedic tribes of Parsu and Paktha are the ancestors of modern day Persians and Pakthoons, is there any truth in this?

I have heard a Iranian pronounce Xerxes as Ksharaksha which sounds closer to Sanskrit.

Kshay- Arsh 🔥👍🏼Wow 😀😀🙏🏻🕉️🕉️this is so amazing Our Sanskrit Names 🙏🏻🕉️🙏🏻👍🏼✌🏼😀😀Har Har Mahadev 🙏🏻🕉️

If possible then try to make more detailed videos on any particular history topics 👍

Pure Sanskrit? Highly unlikely for a speaker of an Indo-Iranian language, therefore the similarity is more likely the result of speaking the closely related Indo-Iranian language, Avestan.

Avestan : təm amavantəm yazatəm surəm damohu səvištam mithrəm yazai zaothrabyō Sanskrit : Tam Amavantam yajatam Suram Dhamasu Savistam Mithram yajayi hotrabhyah See the similarities.

I studied Sanskrit for for last years in the school.The grammar is different. In other languages you have singular and plural. It means one and many. In Sanskrit you have One, two and many. . It's called Ek vachan , Dvi Vachan and Bahu Vachan.This is the biggest difference between Sanskrit and other languages.

I would like to recommended two books. Rig veda the historical analysis and Rig veda and Avesta THE FINAL evidence by Srikant talageri. Its just like the history of hindu texts is confirmed by buddhist and jain texts. Same way Avesta confirms the late parts of Rig vedic history.

there's a Mitani version of trojan war that was shared with the Hittites, later geeks mangled it and made it revolve around geeks heros, who took part in the trojen war, and if you look closely, you'll notice there some few similarities, with Mahabharat, does it mean that both stories originated from one place ?

Good job man. As an Iranian I respect the intelligence of Indian people and their knowledge in our history.

One point there is the name might be familiar with Sanskrit but it was old Persian names and the fact that old Persian and Sanskrit was mutually intelligible is another topic.

I'm a history buff, and this is one of my fav topics- similarities between the Sanskrit and Avestan languages.

Long Live HINDU SAMRAJYA We need to get back to what we really were !!!!!

I would say it's an Avestan name rather than Sanskrit. Its possible, that it's also found in Sanskrit as Iranian and Indian languages came from an hypothetical branch of the Indo-European languages called the Indo-Iranian languages.

as a persian I thought I must let you know that our languages have the same roots, the names of these great kings were in the ancient persian aka Avestan language which probably had the same roots as sanskrit! and the correct pronunciation of King Xerxes name in Avestan was xašāyār not Kshay-arsha! so I'd say this is a misunderstanding. the first part is of the Avestan word "xshA" which meant King in Avestan, and the second part is the Avestan word "yAvarana" which means helper and friend! I'd say this just shows how similar the Avestan used to be to sanskrit!

Sanskrit is originated in Syria, Came to India via Iran ( Persia ) Arayan are Iranians Sanskrit is language many adoption from Persia , before it's reached India

Sankrit words like Purush means decendant of Puru. Manush means decendant of Manu. Kurush means decendant of Kuru.

Names of empires ...What we call today vs what they called themselves Mittani....मैत्रायणी Aechemenid....अक्षमणि Assyria ....असुर

PLEASE MENTION THE COOLEST UNDER RATED HINDU OR SANSKRIT WAR CRY!!!!!!!

Kshay Arsha could be our version of his original name just as greek version of his name was Xerxes. I doubt persian were alligned with Indian culture that much, especially during pre classical era when Persia realigned supreme and was mainly focused on west rather than east.

Lolz.. This is what happens when you don’t even know Sanskrit is an Indo-Iranian language. The dude just proved Aryan invasion theory.

Cyrus I (Old Persian: Kuruš) or Cyrus I of Anshan or Cyrus I of Persia, was King of Anshan in Persia from c. 600 to 580 BC or, according to others, from c. 652 to 600 BC. Cyrus I of Anshan is the grandfather of Cyrus the Great, also known as Cyrus II. His name in Modern Persian is کوروش, Kurosh, while in Greek he was called Κῦρος, Kȳros.

Even older empires of Syria, Iraq and turkey like Mittani Empirers had Indo aryan (Sanskrit) names and their Gods like Mitra, Indra and other Vedic gods.....

This man should be protected at all cost ❤

Avestan is very close to sanskrit but somewhat different phonetically. This is no surprise. Closest to sanskrit names are those of a kingdom further north west- e.g. mittani and hurrian. ihich is more surprising. Even kurdish i has recognoable sanskritic elements.

Be respectful; khashayar sha is an old Persian name and has nothing to do with Sanskrit at all. Be respectful towards your nation and others. We really don't like to be mixed with cultures that have nothing to do with it. India has a lot to be proud for. Please stop this.Xerxes is the common Greek (Xérxēs) and Latin form (Xerxes, Xerses) of the Achaemenid throne-name which in Old Persian is spelled x-š-y-a-r-š-a (with the initial a- of the second element being spread into medial position) and must be interpreted as four-syllable Xšaya-ṛšā (thus first P. Tedesco in Herzfeld, pp. 97 f. and Hoffmann, p. 85, fn. 15). This form and the secondary contracted form *Xšayaršā are reflected more or less accurately in Bab. Ḫi-ši-ʾ-ar-šá/ši, Ḫi-ši-(i-)ar-ši/šú, Aḫ-ši-ia-ar-šú, Ak-ši-ia-ar-šú, Ak-ši-ia-mar-šú (with many other variants; cf. Dandamayev, pp. 82 f., no. 145; Tavernier, pp. 23 f., 66 ff.; Zadok, pp. 207-24, no. 283), Aram. ḥšyʾrš, ḥšyrš, ʾḥšyrš (cf. Porten and Lund, p. 356a), Bibl.-Aram. ʾḥšwrwš (with the wrong vocalization “Aḥašwērōš”), and Eg. ḫšjrš, ḫšjegyptian alephrš (cf. Vittmann, p. 164). From all those renderings are different both El. Ik-še-ir-(iš-)šá (cf. Hinz and Koch, p. 750), that is, /Kšerša/ or the like, and Gk. Xérxēs (originating in *Xérsēs by distance-assimilation x--x from x--s), which apparently render a shorter two-syllable form *Xšairšā or even monophthongized *Xšēršā; this medially shortened form must have existed already in Old Iranian (probably in spoken Old Persian) and was not created only in Greek (with a quite regular intermediate *Xeírsēs or *Xeírxēs) and Elamite respectively. The longstanding view that Gk. Xérxēs goes back to the attested Old Persian form through *Xḗrxēs, *Xāˊrxās, and OIran. *Xšāršā must be given up for phonological reasons (see esp. Schmitt, 1996, pp. 88 f.), and a common explanation for both the Elamite and the Greek form (which are remarkably similar to each other) must, in any case, be preferred.

Jai Shri Ram ji Jai Shri Krishna ji Jai Bharat with love to my wonderful neighbour people of mother INDIA, Bharat Koorosh 😊

It is the relation between two ancient civilizations. Persian civilization had very good relation with India in the fields of astronomy, mathematics, literature etc.

Also, Cambyses was the hellenized form of Khambujiya

Would you say that is a Sanskrit name or a name from a language that belongs to the same family as Sanskrit? In the same way that Portugese and Spanish names are similar if not the same.

*Bhai aap isko asani se ish tarah pesh kar sakte ho jaise Alexander ko hamne Sikandar bna Diya aur Genghis Khan ko Changej Khan bna Diya. Vaise hi unhe ne Kshayarsha ko Xerxes bna Diya iska adha example h Alexander ka Porus ke sath jo yudh h vo padho isme Indian names ko romanised kiya gya hai lagbhag sabhi names ke starting aur akhir letter hi match hote h khud se naam rakhe h sabke*

1000 likes 3 dislikes Power of abhijit chavda sir When these 3 dislikers will also finish thdat day India will rise once again

But I don't think ancient Persian used to follow same Vedic culture like ancient indians. Because in Mahabharata ancient Persians are called malechcha (barbarian).

Even Kshatriya is an old Persian word. Yes , Kshatriya and kuru are old Persian words..my conclusion is that an segment of the Kurus migrated to Iran. And ruled as achemenids and Sassanids. Leave that, have you read about lakhmids? Sounds sanskrit? Yup they were in Saudi Arabia

Iran and India have close connections for thousands of years

These similarities are due to the common root of Iranian languages ​​and Sanskrit language, which is the root of each in the Indo-Iranian language

Boss I wish I had a history teacher like you 🙏

I would like to recommend a good book conundrum - by anuj dhar and chandrachur ghose

This shows Sanskrit shares iranian roots that's why it's easy to interpret using Sanskrit, sanskrit also shares European roots, which reveals the etymologies from these two roots are added into Sanskrit, to be honest there was no language called sanskrit during Aléxander times, then imagine during Achemenid times.

@AbhijitChavda you are very crisp and super clear in your observation. Greeks, Romans and europeans all have distorted Iranian and Indian history.

I would really appreciate if you can provide References for your claims.. I'm not doubting you..but the very moment I say such things to others they mock me..and laugh on claims. If my claims are backed by Sources..it won't be just claims then. Thank you 🙏🏼

Sanskrit and Persians have the same root in language and ppl they are the same

That you can not differentiate the old Persian and Sanskrit is miserable. Old Persian, like Avestan, has the same roots with Sanskrit but they are not the same, but rather, they both have progressed from an ancestor Proto-Indo-Iranian language. The characteristics of Old Persian, like Avestan, are Uniq and different from Sanskrit. Please educate yourself before going online.

According to ancient hinduism there were classification of living beings as human,yakshas, Gandharva, Kinner, devtas Rakshash nothing like Yahudi,muslim,hindu etc

Ty for making these short videos

Iranians used zend avesta as their language and it sounds very much like sanskrit. Also there are books written in this language much before sanskrit

😂 @_@ ham kahinge ram wo kahinge computer wala ram lol 😂

Most Honest Historian. 🙏🏻

sir, what is the meaning of the word क्षयर्ष. please tell 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I'm eager to know, I looked for it on internet but got nothing

Sanskrit is not the origin of India.. it's from Persia which was influenced by Aryans after their invasion of India... India's oldest true languages are Kannada and Tamil

Zorostrians origin is from Sawrasta of Gujarat,that is 100 states were ruled from Saurastra

This person is misguiding people , all the names he has said are AVESTAN names not SANSKRIT , sounds similar bcoz both the languages were originated from the same language called PROTO-INDO-EUROPEAN language originated in UKRAIN, not only this , old Greek , Lithuania , Armaic , Avestan , Vedic Sanskrit , Russian all these language are similar to eachother

Greeks called Chandragupta as Sandrokottos

This shows that ancient Iranians moved into Indian subcontinent and started the Vedic civilization.. no wonder the southern india and eastern India had a distinct ancient culture of its own..

I think the Iranian people are very closely related to us, Or vice versa

sir, please do lectures on on assyrian , persian and greek and roman empire, please, i have my exams from 6th june, Ma History 1st yr

Xerxes was Kshayarsha .Mount Everest was Sagarmatha . Arta-Xerxes was Arta-Kshatra. Ariaramnes was Arya - Ramna. Cyrus was Kurush. Achaemenes was Haksha-Manish.

Iranians are the Asuras of the ancient time while the Devas worshipped Maha-Deva and called Asuras as bad guys, Iranians worshipped Ahura-Mazda - (Ahura = Asura) and called the Devas as the bad ones. They all used many Sanskrit names and Hindu like traditions including Sukra as their teacher and many such Hindu "gods".

Persia is a foreign name to the original Paras (means pure or holy or divine). The zoroastrian population or Parsis in India are a pure Aryan race and followed Vedic culture ( it was a universal culture followed by educated, sane and progressive population).

A minor correction , Arta-Xerxes was Rta-Khshetriye as in Ritu-Kshatriya. Rta is cognate with Avestic Asha.

I used to think porus was some European King who fought with the Alexander. Then I came to know Raja Purushottam fought Alexader actually. And if we use british improper pronounciation of English, Colonial mindset Indians say, we are *ganwaar*.

Whole Persian is evolved from Sanskrit, even today many modern persian has sanskrit words. 🙏

Thank for the new information.

Abhijeet ji bahut acha laga Our Culture was everywhere 😊

#Askabhijit sir could you please tell us about samudragupta is he napoleon of india.

Thank you very much for the information, love your works very much

Sir you are genius,,,, please write this kind of information in a book,,, because History need documents

Marathi Hindi persian language 77 percent similarities 🤝 and when I saw this ,our strong hold on vedic clan migration become more and more prominent 🙊haar haar mahadev! I can see the future and truth world is trying hard to desolve

Well i don't doubt the the information given by Abhijit ji, but i will it feels like yogi ji changing their name.😂🙏

Sanskrit and Avestan are of the same origin even in the modern Persian we have many sanskritic words, the ancient Persian which was spoken Achaemenids was also close to Sanskrit

Namaskar n thanks for opening our eyes v r still blind I also thank british because they gradually taught india about our own religion books n translated into English language n now v r good at English plus education kindly make more vlogs about Indo-European linguistic connections namaskar

So when old Testament is giving respect to Cyrus and Esther they were Aryans Or Persians partially following ancient form of Hinduism??

Your right sir . before the islam iran ruled by hindu kings if u see zurastrainism our tata religion have similar worship processes and yagnavupavedas like us . if u observe australia aboriginals dance form have similarities with our bharathantyam or our dance forms . if u observe maya is a rakshasa who build " mayasabha " for bheema and king of one of underworld lokhas being a lord shiva kalabhairava bhakt and mother kali too he used to payr for her . see what is best representation for mother kaali its kapalaa maala right every american society loves skulls any be that maya build a society may be its related to mayan culture . before islam egyptian kings used have the hindhu names .

More like Indo-European name. Sanskrit is an Indo European languages

Kurus kingdoms find adequate representation and mention in Mahabharata and fought on the side of Duryodhana in the Mahabharata War.

this man is mad bro thinks pashtun afghans are indian's 🤣👍

Yes the Aryan invaders that came to the Iranian plateau and the subcontinent have related languages and many words or names that are similar. Both were invaders who imposed their values on the pre-existing civilization that lived in those areas before them.. the Vedic varna.caste system being the remnants of their system of control.

Especially given that Xerxes proclaimed himself to have been an Aryan Prince in a particular inscription. And in the sense that the Aryan's were a people and not simply a title for a form of Aristocracy. Though they did often end up forming an Elite Aristocracy ruling over a larger, Conquered People. Though also, not always. They also mixed with people as they migrated. They also married into other Imperial Families, like the Egyptian Royal Houses. Now, does any of this mean that the Persian Rulers or that the Mitanni Rulers were from India? I think a lot more information would be required to even suggest that. It's certainly not impossible, however other possibilities exist as well.

Thanks for sharing this information. Sanskrit is a mature language

Iranian kings didn't have Sanskrit name but Sanskrit is an Indo European language which is very similar to ancient Iranian language, Avesta, because historically and geographically they originated from one land which is now central Asia.
