Identifying Vedic people

http://sarasvati2.googlepages.com/seatedfigures.doc

shows a statuette of a person wearing uttareeyam leaving
right-shoulder bare.  The word for penance in Prakrit is:
kamad.ha This kamad.ha posture shown on many seals and
tablets is read rebus: kampat.t.a 'mint', the workshop of
vis'wakarma metal-workers of Sarasvati civilization.  

See B. B. Lal's article at

Reading of the hieroglyph showing a person sitting in
penance:

kamad.ha 'penance' (Pkt.)
Rebus: kampat.t.am 'mint' (Ta.)

The vedic-sarasvati continuum is a living reality in
Bharatam.
