Talk:Dushasana

Latest comment: 4 years ago by Lightbluerain in topic IPs changing Dushasana's death part

Query; the article has been moved from Dushasana to Dushyasana. Is this correct, remembering we should be looking back to the original Sanskrit? I thought it was Duśśāsana (using IAST symbols), and the references are many, e.g., http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m06/m06118.htm . I see that there is also justification for the Dushyasana form, but is this from some other language? Imc 17:07, 28 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Renamed back to Dushasana. Removed note on pronounciation because that is modern Hindi. Imc 20:57, 3 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

It is spelled too many different ways, but this will be the same issue for all the Hindu mythological figures. For example, some people drop the "a" from the end of Dushasana (and all related spellings). Some have "Duss", some have many "hs", etc. Some compromise has to be met, or the list of names will be much too long.

On a separate note, I think there is merit in adding some more details surrounding Dushasana's life and death. I am not too sure why my recent edit was canned (I can understand some of it, but definitely not all). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.103.139.43 (talk) 03:19, 29 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
