- ... that reciting names of Panchkanya (pictured), a group of five iconic heroines of Hindu epics Ramayana and Mahabharata, every morning washes away all sins?

- ALT... five heroines (pictured) from Hindu epics venerated as exemplary chaste women, are recorded to have "known" at least a man, other than her husband? Redtigerxyz Talk 15:47, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
Don't really get ALT1. "to have 'known' at least a man" makes no sense to me. Do you mean "each recorded to have 'known' at least one man who was not their husband" — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:12, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
- Actually, knowing at least one man was before marriage. I would suggest "to have known' at least one man before marriage who was not their husband.".--Nvvchar. 12:28, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
- My main issue is with " at least a man". That construct sounds really odd to me. I'd expect to see "at least one man" — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:51, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, here is the reworded ALT2 Hook ... that five heroines (pictured) from Hindu epics venerated as exemplary chaste women, are recorded to have "known at least one man", other than her husband?--Nvvchar. 18:20, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
ALT2 approved, much better. Tick based on above review. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:01, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry, but the phrasing still seems odd to me. There are five women, but at the end it says "her husband". Was it just one of them that "knew" another man or did each of them?--Carabinieri (talk) 03:46, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
- ALT3 ... that each of the five heroines (pictured) from Hindu epics, venerated as exemplary chaste women, is recorded to have "known" at least one man other than her husband? Redtigerxyz Talk 05:39, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
- Looks even better. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:47, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
