१८ : मुनि श्रीहजारीमल स्मृति-ग्रन्थ
Gilgamesh went, was a country pure, clean, bright, where even utters no cries, the lion kills not, the wolf snatches not the lamb, unknown is the kid-devouring wild dog, unknown is the grain-devouring, (unknown) is the widow, without the sick-eyed, the sick-headed, without old man and woman, having no wailing priests and singers. The city of Dilmun was situated on the mouth of the rivers and possessed furrowed fields and farms. Dilmun was situated to the East where the sun rises. Uruk was at a distance of forty-five days journey to the West by sea from Dilmun. There one day was equal to one month. Grain was cultivated abundantly there. The orchards of Dilmun were full of cucumbers, apples, grapes and various other plants.15 Sumerologist Dr. Kramer identifies Dilmun with the land of Indus Valley civilization.16 Bhārta was the land of non-violence, peace, abundance and immortality referred to in these Sumerian accounts in the beginning of the third millenium B.C. Ancient Sumer looked to Bhärta for spiritual guidance. 7. Sumerian Shramanic Tenets : A pure and clean life was attained by an individual soul through his or her personal efforts. He had to follow an ethical code of conduct. He had to adhere to strict moral standards. Misfortunes came as rerults of moral transgressions-such as lying, stealing, defrauding, maliciousness, adultery, coveting the possessions of others, unworthy ambitions, injurious teachings and other misdemeanours. The Sumerian spiritual tenets are, like the Egyptian, not available at one place. They have been collected from various places and have been re-arranged in order here.18
