Dear madan, You have done a very painstaking job. My compliments for the efforts. The only suggestion I have for the pre-Kali period to (re-)examin is this, by tracking down the dynasties: Period 0: The Vaivasvata period. I think there must have been many Manus for, the father of Ikshvaku is named as Kshupa, son of Prasandhi. The one that survived the flood is named as Satyavrata. We also know of a more ancient Priyavrata and Uttanapada. But I have yet to understand their place. Period I: From Ikshvaku to Yuvanashva II. Moving from eastern UP. Especially the Yayata-Nahushas (Panchajanya). Period II From Mandh�tr to Trishanku. Ayodhya is the main centre of power, but sometimes challenged by other emperors, like Marutta Avikshita (Vaishali-Aikshvakava), Arjuna Karttavirya (Haihaya-Yadava) and Shivi Aushinara (Anava). Period III From Harishchandra to Sagara. This period is the struggle of Ayodhya-Kanyakubja-Kashi against the Haihaya-Yadava power. Period IV From Sagara to Kalmashapada Saudasa. The Haihaya power is broken, but finally the Ikshvakus are challenged by the confederation of Turvasus en Purus. Period V Bharata period: 1. From Bharata Daushyanti to Samvarana. This is the great ancient Panchala-Bharata period. (Ayodhya is now named as Kosala) 2. The Kuru-Bharata period: From Samvarana's son Kuru to Jahnu P�rikshita. This is the period of revival, The Brahmana period. (The Kuru and Panchala are merging) 3. The Jahnu-Bharata period (The Kauravas). In this dynasty finally are born the Pandavas and the Dhartarashtras. 4. The Pandu-Bharatas (also Kauravas): they reign till the KaliYuga (based on references like the Bhagavat Purana 9-22-45 and 12-2-27 to 32). I hope this may be a help to you or anyone.
