(Continuation from Dis.21/2006)

a) The next similarity

Beside what had been discussed before this, have more aspect on Narashangsa especially on the gift to him as follow:

i. 10000 cows

Actually, this is appropriated with the event when Prophet Muhammad and his 10,000 disciples from Medina city entering the Mecca city (630 AD). This is for doing the pilgrimage and they come for peace not for the war.

ii. 300 Horses
In context of 300 horses it has showed the ingenious in running and it very closed referred as the war. The number of 300 actually is more than 300 but less than 400. In Vedas had been said that Narashangsa has received 300 horses, and this is relate to the battle of Badr where the prophet of Muhammad s.a.w. and his 313 soldiers was won the battle with against a thousand enemies.

This is had occurred to Prophet Muhammad when he have the 10th true brothers who very loyal and love to him and they willing to die for him. The true brothers of Muhammad s.a.w. can see as follows:
1. Saidinia Abu Bakar As-Siddiq; the first caliph
2. Saidina Umar ibni Al-Khattab; the second caliph
3. Unthman ibni Affan; the third caliph
4. Ali Abu Talib, the fourth caliph
