	Sarasvati hieroglyphs
		On the Barhut stupa, the makara is emphatically ligatured to a cephalophoid by the curved glyph.

		Makara has the trunk of an elephant, the body of a fish, the feet of a lion, the ears of a hog, the teeth of a monkey and the tail of a swan.

	CALL-OF-THE-SEA.COM: Sea Myths: The Makara
		This snout, whether it originated in that of the crocodile, or as the horn of the horned shark, the horn of the antelope, or the trunk of an elephant, certainly resembles the latter most closely.
		The makara is essentially Indian, although its prototype may well be found in the goat-fish Capricorn, a creature of the Babylonian water-god Ea.
		The makara is a frequent decorative motive, either the whole figure or the head alone, and it is probably due to its popular use in art rather than to any symbolism that it has become so widespread in the Far East.

	Coomaraswamy - Yaksa
		Since the makara has a primary stelar relationship with Capricorn, the waters, on one level, must be the cosmic ocean of the night sky.
		The makara is related to a group of life-sprouting or life-devouring mouths that include the kala-mukha (great mouth) and the simsumara crocodile, who lies in wait within the stream travelled by the newly deceased soul.
		The proper system would identify the makara’s mouth as a birthplace (vagina / fish-mouth) and the Rahu glory head as the third eye of the sixth chakra; or, the creativity of third eye mentation is born through incantation and thus voice/mouth.

	The Naga and Makara (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
		Varuna, as the serpent king, rode upon the back of a Makara and bound subjects who disobeyed natural law (the dhamma) in fetters which were represented as snakes.
		Varuna, therefore, may be closely associated with the Brahmanic notion of the universe as an illusion represented by Mara, and the Buddhist notion that man is bound to the world of illusion by sensory attachment.
		Thus the Naga and Makara symbolize the ties that bind man to the world of illusion, and the path that frees man from that illusion.

		The allegory about Siva, the "Great Yogin ", reducing Kama to ashes by the fire from his central (or third) Eye, for inspiring the Mahadeva with thoughts of his wife, while he was at his devotions - is very suggestive, as it is said that he thereby reduced Kama to his primeval spiritual form.

		I just about piss myself laughing when I hear opponents of the Makara wind farm earnestly trying to convince Joe Public that Makara and the beach environs is a gorgeous, chocolate box spot.
		I doubt you would find a less charming spot than Makara beach, what with a rocky, steep beach, freezing sea temperatures with a lively rip and a permanent stiff breeze, making swimming a death knell, lots of scrub, and the thought of a picnic there sends me into despair.
