Prince of Mathura : “This fragment, related in theme to Prince of Edur, was written a few years later, probably in 1909 or 1910” [CWSA Vol.03-04, p.1005] between 2 May 1908 & Jan-Feb 1910 Sri Aurobindo grew increasingly close to his Guide Sri Krishna. (1) “I had never heard before of thoughts coming visibly into the mind from outside, but I did not think either of questioning the truth or the possibility, I simply sat down and did it. In a moment my mind became silent as a windless air on a high mountain summit and then I saw one thought and then another coming in a concrete way from outside; I flung them away before they could enter and take hold of the brain and in three days I was free. From that moment, in principle, the mental being in me became a free Intelligence, a universal Mind, not limited to the narrow circle of personal thought as a labourer in a thought factory, but a receiver of knowledge from all the hundred realms of being and free to choose what it willed in this vast sight-empire and thought-empire. I mention this only to emphasise that the possibilities of the mental being are not limited and that it can be the free Witness and Master in its own house.” [SABCL 26:84 & CWSA 35:244] (2) Historical Ajamida (q.v.) was Sri Krishna’s ancestor; Mathura was once under the sway of Kushāns, & Toramāna the Hun did try his luck there; Roodhra is obviously the Shivādry, & Siwalik Hills are just 70-80 km north of Mathura which is on the Yamuna [s/a Siege of Mathura]
