The heritage site Palace of Versailles of Unesco historically stands to mark the seat of absolute power of French monarchy from Louis XIV to Louis XVI which influenced the whole of Europe in 17th and 18th c A.D. It is located in the Île-de-France region, south-west of Paris. In European history Louis XIV was known as the Louis the Great or the Sun King or Roi Soleil who belonged to the Royal House of Bourbon.
This heritage site is remarkable in simplifying and simultaneously presenting the complex nature of origin of the ancient royal houses in more than one ways. Versailles identifies the ancient Baisali of the Buddhist literature as same as Basilica of the biblical Kings. English translation of Roi Soleil as Sun King is not correct; Sun King finds its origin in Sun Dynasty and they were identified with City of Sun near Panchaia. This city celebrates its geographical relationship with Phoenix Bird which is seen in Coat of Arms of many European royal houses. Roi which is not at all different from Loi(also name of a country which was visited by Ulysses) stands for Indian Rai, and it marks the royal house’s Parthian origin; Rai means Radha or Rhadamanthys of the Greeks who was the younger brother of Mino. Rhadamanthys migrated to East and married Alcamene and became a ‘Judge’ there. Soleil identifies ‘Sulla’, Sullei, Solagrama, Solapura, and Sola etc; it also marks the ancient Jerusalem near City of Sun. Parthians were as same as the Bhartus(‘p’ as ‘b’) who were the people of Agni clan like the Achaeans of Homer’s epics. King of Ajodhya belonged to Sun Dynasty, and historians see them as representing the Ikshu(means the Sugar –Cane) dynasty. But the kings of Ajodhya were also identified as Nage or the Serpent Clan. Bhartu or Baharata was the brother of Rama of the epic the Ramayana in whose name ancient Rome finds its root.
The first occupants of the village site of the Versailles Palace were a Gondi family and the priory of Saint Julian. King Henry IV and his son Louis XIII came across this family in their village during their respective haunting trips to the forest nearby. King Louis XIII, it is said, once joined the Gondi family in one event of the village known as Day of the Dupes. Dupe refers to Dupad or Drupad, name of a royal family and also name of a King in the time of the epic the Mahabharata. Draupadi, wife of the Pandavas was the daughter of the King Drupad. It is very interesting to see that the Day of Dupe was observed in the second week of November, or 10th, 11th, or the 12th of the month. King’s chief minister was Cardinal Richel and King’s mother was Marie de Medici. These two names suggest their ancient origin along the line of Sun dynasty. Medici refers to ancient Madra as same as Medea of classical literature and Medina of the Quran.
The Florentine family of the Gondi similarly are identified by their ancient origin through Gonda and Gundi region of the epic the Mahabharata. King Gondaphares was a king of the royal family of Gonda. Madra was a neighbourly place to Gundivana of the epic. This name Gonda historically is very expansive and meaningful; it not only marks the name of an animal, and name of a tribe, but also identifies a geographical region that finds a royal house and a king with it. Mt Gandhamardana pinpoints Gonda region along with Madra which signifies latter’s neighbourly position to Gonda.
Scholars see the old Florentine nobility from Philippi and Charlemagne in 805; each and every name associated with Gond or Gondo Gondi family attends to the history of the ancient world in a grand and beautiful way that finds names of Salaviati(as same as Salavati), Valcava(as same as Vargaba) in the Mugello(refers to Moggalla and Moghul) of ancient history), and Simon(refers to Sraman and Solomon) collectively puts the history of ancient migration to Europe that becomes the history of ancient world itself.
House of Baorbon finds its root in Bamana/and Darpan; this royal house of France which historians consider as a branch of Capetian dynasty misunderstood the meaning of Capetian which means ‘Capota’ , name of a bird. It is very significant to know this bird which holds its seat in royal coat of arms of France. Capetian is as same as Coptus which historians take it as representing the ancient Egypt. It is not only wrong, it divides the ancient world in the narratives of different countries though all of them mean and refer to one and the same place; similarly ‘Chateau’ means a ‘chaitya’ (or ‘chetiya’) of Buddhist literature, and ‘Salon’ means ‘saran’ which again means ‘place of submission to the god / or a place for offering prayer’; this word has been used appropriately in the Palace premises, but scholars have extracted its meaning differently. Petit refers to Pei-to which means ‘The Tree of Wisdom’ and ‘Trianon’ means ‘Tri-ratna’ or ‘Triple Gems’ of the Buddha.
The interesting history of ancient world has been preserved in this heritage site of Palace Versailles in various ways; The Salon of Hercules, The Salon of Venus, The Salon of Mercury, The Salon of Mars, The Salon of Apollo, The Salon of Diana, The Parterre d’Eau and the Parterre and Fountain of Latona, North Parterre, Dragon Basin, and Basin of Neptune, Hameau de la Reine, and the Petit Trianon are all historic names that collectively pinpoints the geographical situations from where the royal house of France migrated. Most of these names refer to the name of a god and all of them have gone into Homer’s epics who participated in the War of Troy. In the Park of the Ancient City in Bangkok, Thailand, the statues in the name of planets reflect a geographical picture of the ancient world in which the royal family of Thailand were ancielty then associated with or in other words it shows the land from which the royal family of Thailand migrated; the royal family of Thailand belonged to the Vezere of Vajra(weapon of God Indra; this name is reflected in the name of the Thai Kings) country and this name is associated with the 4th Unesco heritage site of France.
