    Soka hints at genetic pool.
    Deeps responds - "WAS"

    I had to re-read the post, read the history of Kathak reviver to link , ah! Did not know Amjad Khan was Ali Shah in 'Shatranj ke Khilari'. Well, a very khan-ny linkage!

    Your interpretation of the saree clue makes a lot more sense than mine. All this flipping and reversing is seeming increasingly pointless. My straight thought - kill it with fire.

    Why am I up at this hour? :(

    Me to brain: "It's 2:00am, and I'm running my first 5k race tomorrow. Let's get some rest."
    Scumbag brain: "Sure, but before we do, let's go over all your regrets and anxieties once more."

    Task: Who is this?

    Level: Easy to moderate. Easy for Google pros, & those who already know the man and idea. Moderate for those to whom this is all new. I am posting it in the spirit of this thread - "Let's Fire Up Those Neurons"! The ideas are mind-blowing. Every educated person with the smallest pinch of curiosity must at least know that they exist.

    Clues:

    (1)
    Yo vai bhuma tat sukham,
    Nalpe sukham asti,
    Bhumaiva sukham.

    (2)
    This answer so confused poor Alice, that she let the Dormouse go on for some time without interrupting it.
    `They were learning to draw,' the Dormouse went on, yawning and rubbing its eyes, for it was getting very sleepy; `and they drew all manner of things--everything that begins with an M--'
    `Why with an M?' said Alice.
    `Why not?' said the March Hare.
    Alice was silent.
    The Dormouse had closed its eyes by this time, and was going off into a doze; but, on being pinched by the Hatter, it woke up again with a little shriek, and went on: `--that begins with an M, such as mouse-traps, and the moon, and memory, and muchness-- you know you say things are "much of a muchness"--did you ever see such a thing as a drawing of a muchness?'
    `Really, now you ask me,' said Alice, very much confused, `I don't think--'
    `Then you shouldn't talk,' said the Hatter.

    (3) Muzzle of a Sleeping God.

    No, like Gauri, I was thinking of Genghis. Couldn't rationalize all the clues however, so that was a Hail Mary pass.

    Mongol chess ('Shatar') spread across the lands he conquered. I somehow got an impression of 'personification' from your posts, so I deviated accordingly, was misled by Bergman and the 'Seventh Seal', which I recently saw again for th N'th time - and of course I did not know many of the people in the pics! My knowledge of Indian celebrity is woefully lacking. Good job on the misleading 'Silk' images ... so many possibilities: women, actresses, celebrity, saree, gold, yellow .....

    Here's a blurb on his genes: Y Genghis
