To set the scene, in this section of the Bhavishya Purana, Shri Suta Gosvami first explained that previously, in the dynasty of King Shalivahana, there were ten kings who went to the heavenly planets after ruling for over 500 years. [This gives these kings roughly 50 years of rule for each one.] Then gradually the morality declined on the planet. At that time, Bhojaraja was the tenth of the kings on the earth [who would have ruled about 450 years after King Shalivahana]. When he saw that the moral law of conduct was declining, he went to conquer all the directions of his country with ten-thousand soldiers commanded by Kalidasa. He crossed the river Sindhu [modern Indus River] going northward and conquered over the gandharas [the area of Afghanistan], mlecchas [present-day region of Turkey], shakas, Kashmiris [Kashmir and present-day Pakistan], naravas, and sathas. Crossing the Sindhu, he conquered the mlecchas in Gandhar and the shaths in Kashmir. King Bhoj grabbed their treasure and then punished them.

Then, as verses 7-8 relate, the Aryan King Bhojaraja, who had already left India for the lands across the Sindhu River and to the west, meets Mahamada [some say this is Mohammed], the preceptor of the mleccha-dharma [religion of the mlecchas], who had arrived with his followers. Thereafter, however, the King went to worship the image of Lord Mahadev, the great god Shiva, situated in the marusthal, desert. King Bhoj bathed the image of Shiva with Ganges water and worshiped him in his mind with panchagavya (the five purificatory elements from the cow, consisting of milk, ghee, yogurt, cow dung, and cow urine), along with sandalwood paste, etc., and offered him, the image of Shiva, sincere prayers and devotion. King Bhoj prayed to Lord Mahadev, "O Girijanath who stays in the marusthal (land of deserts), I offer my prayers to you. You have forced maya [the illusory energy] to destroy Tripurasur [the demon Tripura]; but the mlecchas are now worshiping you. You are pure and sat-chit-anand swaroop [eternal knowledge and bliss]. I am your sevak [servant]. I have come under your protection."

Verses 10-27 relates next that Suta Goswami explained: After hearing the king’s prayers and being pleased with him, Lord Shiva said: "Let the King go to Mahakaleshwar (Ujjain) in the land of Vahika, which is now contaminated by mlecchas. O King, the land where you are standing, that is popular by the name of Bahik, has been polluted by the mlecchas. In that terrible country there no longer exists Dharma. There was a mystic demon named Tripura (Tripurasura), whom I have already burnt to ashes once before, he has come again by the order of Bali. He has no origin but he achieved a benediction from me. His name is Mahamada and his deeds are like that of a ghost. Therefore, O king, you should not go to this land of the evil ghost. By my mercy your intelligence will be purified." [This would seem to indicate that this Mahamada was an incarnation of the demon Tripura.] So hearing this, the king came back to his country and Mahamada came with them, but only to the bank of the river Sindhu. He was expert in expanding illusion, so he said to the king very pleasingly, "O great king, your god has become my servant. Just see, as he eats my remnants, so I will show you."

The king became surprised when he saw this happening before them. Then in anger Kalidasa, the king’s commander, rebuked Mahamada, "O rascal, you have created an illusion to bewilder the king, I will kill you, you are the lowest..." Then the king left that area.

Later, in the form of a ghostly presence, the expert illusionist Mahamada appeared at night in front of King Bhojaraja and said: "O King, your religion is of course known as the best religion among all. Still, by the order of the Lord, I am going to establish a terrible and demoniac religion and enforce a strong creed over the meat-eaters [mlecchas]. My followers will be known by their cut [circumcised] genitals, they will have no shikha [tuft of hair on their head, like Brahmanas], but will have a beard, make noise loudly, and eat all kinds of animals except swine without observing any rituals. They will perform purificatory acts with the musala, and thus be called musalman, and not purify their things with kusha grass [one of the Vedic customs]. Thus, I will be the originator of this adharmic [opposed to Vedic or Aryan Dharma] and demoniac religion of the meat-eating nations." After having heard all this, the Bhavishya Purana goes on to relate that King Bhojaraja returned to his land and palace, and that ghost of the man also went back to his own place.

It is lastly described how the intelligent king, Bhojaraja, established the language of Sanskrit amongst the three varnas -- the Brahmanas, Kshatriyas and Vaisyas -- and for the Shudras he established prakrita-bhasha, the ordinary language spoken by common men. After ruling his kingdom for another 50 years, he went to the heavenly planets. The moral laws established by him were honored even by the demigods. The arya-varta, the pious land is situated between Vindhyachala and Himachala, or the mountains known as Vindhya and Himalaya. The Aryans reside there, but the varna-sankaras reside on the lower part of Vindhya. The musalman people were kept on the other [northwestern] side of the river Sindhu.

Thus, from the interpretations of the present editions of the Bhavishya Purana that are available, it seems to say there was someone named Mahamada that King Bhojaraja met in the desert, who was supposedly a reappearance of the Tripura demon, who would start his own religion for those mlecchas who are unable to follow the spiritual codes of the deeper aspects of spiritual culture, or Vedic Dharma, and who would also spread adharma, or that religion that would be opposed to Vedic Dharma. Plus, Mahamada knew and accepted the depth of the Vedic spiritual path and admitted to its superiority. But is Mahamada really Prophet Mohammed?

Let me assure everyone that this section is not a commentary on Prophet Mohammed, and is only an explanation of what is said in the Bhavishya Purana. But since some people accept this to be a prediction, we need to take a closer look at it.

So, the first few lines of this translation does seem to hold a possibility of referring to the Prophet. But after that, it could be questionable whether a person would really want to accept this story to be about Prophet Mohammed or not.

Historically, however, we know that Prophet Mohammed was born between 570-580 CE, became interested in religion at age 40, preached in Mecca for 10 years, and then went to Medina in 621 CE at age 51 when he finally established a following. He started engaging in armed conflict in 624 CE, gained possession of Mecca in 630, and died in 632 CE at age 62. So, he would have had to have met King Bhojaraja only after he had a following, between the years of 621 and 632. That is an extremely narrow eleven-year window of time. However, herein it also says that Mahamada went with King Bhojaraja to the Sindhu River, but there is never any historical record that Prophet Mohammed personally went to that area, which establishes another doubt of whether this could have been the Prophet.

Furthermore, even though it is described how King Bhojaraja conquered over the gandharas [the area of Afghanistan], mlecchas [present-day region of Turkey], shakas, Kashmiris [Kashmir and present-day Pakistan], naravas, and sathas, it never mentions that he went into the area of central Saudi Arabia where he would have had to go in order to meet the Prophet at the particular time when the Prophet had a following.

Plus, if King Bhojaraja was the tenth king after Shalivahana, who was supposed to have existed about the time of Jesus Christ, according to the evidence provided in the previous section, that would mean that this king lived about 450 to 500 CE. This is too early to allow for a possibility to have met the Prophet. However, there are a few King Bhojaraja’s that are recorded in history. The one in the Bhavishya Purana is noted as intelligent, and who "established the language of Sanskrit amongst the three varnas -- the Brahmanas, Kshatriyas and Vaisyas -- and for the Shudras he established prakrita-bhasha, the ordinary language spoken by common men." The King Bhojaraja who was known for being a Sanskrit scholar is credited with being the author of two books, the Saraswatikanthabharana, and the Shringaraprakasha. Of these, the first is a compendious volume in five chapters, dealing with the merits and defects of poetry, figures of speech, language, etc. However, this scholar King Bhojaraja is said to have lived from 1018 to 1054 CE. This is way too late to have enabled him to personally have met the Prophet.

Therefore, at least with the present information that is available, we are left to conclude that, though King Bhojaraja may have indeed met a person named Mahamada, the meeting between the king and Prophet Mohammed as an accurate historical event is extremely unlikely. Thus, in this description from the Bhavishya Purana, Mahamada is not the Prophet. Beyond this point of view, is this a later interpolation? Who can say? Or is this is a prophecy in an allegorical form? That would be left to one’s own opinions or sentiments.

In terms of visual quality, MLAA excels at smoothing geometric edgesâ€”stair-stepping on polygons, fences, and distant objects. It fails, however, to address aliasing inside texture maps (specular highlights, shader-induced patterns) and often softens HUD elements, subtitles, and fine alpha-tested geometry like grass or hair. For this reason, many RPCS3 users prefer combining a moderate internal resolution scale (e.g., 150% or 200%) with MLAA only as a final polish, rather than relying solely on MLAA. Through community testing, a set of best practices has emerged. For games originally designed without any anti-aliasingâ€”such as early PS3 cross-gen titles or less demanding Japanese RPGsâ€”enabling RPCS3â€™s MLAA can be transformative, removing most edge flickering at almost no performance cost. Examples include Folklore , Eternal Sonata , and Ninja Gaiden Sigma .

Conversely, for games that already feature high-quality temporal or morphological AAâ€” Uncharted 2 & 3 , Gran Turismo 5/6 , Red Dead Redemption â€”RPCS3â€™s MLAA is best left off. In fact, some titles may render incorrectly with MLAA forced, leading to ghosting, halos around characters, or a vaseline-like smear across the entire image. rpcs3 mlaa

MLAA works by analyzing luminance and color discontinuities, identifying step patterns typical of aliased edges, and then blending pixels along those edges to approximate smoother lines. It is a shader-based, post-process effect, making it less demanding than MSAA but also less preciseâ€”fine textures and text can become slightly blurred. In RPCS3, the â€œEnable MLAAâ€ setting is found under the GPU configuration tab. It is important to clarify that this is not emulating the original gameâ€™s own MLAA implementation. Instead, RPCS3 provides its own generic MLAA post-processing pass applied to the emulatorâ€™s output image before it is presented to the screen. This distinction is crucial: even if a game never used MLAA on real hardware, RPCS3 can force it as an additional anti-aliasing layer. In terms of visual quality, MLAA excels at

The RPCS3 emulator stands as a landmark achievement in software preservation, allowing PlayStation 3 games to be played on high-end personal computers with greater resolution, frame rates, and post-processing features than the original hardware ever supported. Among its many graphics options, one setting frequently discussed by users is MLAAâ€”Morphological Anti-Aliasing. While often overshadowed by internal resolution scaling and MSAA (Multisample Anti-Aliasing), MLAA plays a distinct and valuable role within RPCS3. Understanding what MLAA is, how it interacts with the emulatorâ€™s rendering pipeline, and when to enable it can significantly improve the visual experience of many PS3 titles. 1. The Original PS3 Context: Why MLAA Existed To appreciate RPCS3â€™s MLAA implementation, one must first understand the hardware constraints of the PlayStation 3. The RSX Reality Synthesizer (a modified NVIDIA G70 architecture) had limited video memory (256 MB) and bandwidth. Traditional MSAA was expensive, reducing performance and framebuffer space. As a result, several first-party and third-party developersâ€”most notably Sonyâ€™s own studiosâ€”turned to a post-processing technique called Morphological Anti-Aliasing. MLAA operates on the final rendered image (or a specific render target) to detect and smooth jagged edges without requiring multiple samples per pixel. Games such as God of War III , Killzone 2 , and The Last of Us used MLAA to achieve relatively smooth edges while preserving performance. Through community testing, a set of best practices

Nevertheless, the long-term trend points toward per-game automatic configuration. The RPCS3 compatibility database already tracks recommended settings; future versions may automatically enable MLAA only for games that benefit and disable it for those that do not. Additionally, neural network-based anti-aliasing (similar to DLAA or XeSS) may eventually be integrated, rendering legacy MLAA obsolete. RPCS3â€™s MLAA option is a valuable tool, but not a universal one. Born from the constraints of the PS3â€™s GPU, morphological anti-aliasing found a second life as a lightweight, shader-based smoothing pass within the emulator. When used judiciouslyâ€”enabled for games lacking native AA, disabled for those with robust AA implementationsâ€”MLAA improves image quality at negligible performance cost. Its presence underscores a broader truth about emulation: it is not merely about running old code, but about enhancing and preserving the experience. By offering options like MLAA, RPCS3 empowers players to tailor each gameâ€™s visuals, breathing new life into the PlayStation 3 library. As emulation technology advances, MLAA may eventually fade into a legacy option, but for todayâ€™s RPCS3 user, it remains a simple, effective weapon against the persistent nuisance of jagged edges.

However, this creates potential for double application. If a game already performs its own MLAA (or another post-process AA) internally, enabling RPCS3â€™s MLAA will apply a second pass, often leading to excessive blurring or artifact smearing. Therefore, the recommended practice is to disable RPCS3â€™s MLAA for titles known to have their own efficient anti-aliasing, and only enable it for older or less optimized games that exhibit prominent jagged edges. Compared to RPCS3â€™s other anti-aliasing optionsâ€”such as forcing MSAA (2x, 4x, 8x) or relying on native resolution scalingâ€”MLAA is computationally inexpensive. It runs as a full-screen shader pass, consuming minimal GPU compute time (often less than 1â€“2 ms per frame on a modern mid-range GPU). By contrast, 4x MSAA can increase render target memory usage by a factor of 4, potentially causing VRAM bottlenecks and performance drops in demanding games.
