Untitled[edit]

The article describes the Ashokan pillar inscribed with aramaic script. I tried to correct this but the changes didn't hold. Clearly it is Brahmi script, not Aramaic. 24.83.199.83 19:21, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for trying. What you changed was the filename that refers to the image. This just stops it loading, so I've changed it back. I've changed the caption to Brahmi as I think you intended. Cheers Euchiasmus 07:10, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can this page link to an entry somewhere on Wikipedia which defines the Internet slang term "sarnath'd"? There is currently no such definition.207.67.101.35 (talk) 07:26, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

typo[edit]

Re "It was also the sight of the Buddha's Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta...." in the opening paragraph, that should obviously be "site".

Dharmarajika Stupa[edit]

This article, which describes one of the most important Buddhist pilgrimage sites in India, would benefit greatly from additional details and of course additional inline citations. I have added ^{[citation needed]} tags for a couple of unsupported assertions in this section of the article. These assertions are well-supported by multiple sources. Frederick Asher's book is an excellent reference, but I currently lack access to it. Fortunately, other secondary and tertiary sources exist that provide sufficient documentation for these claims. I believe Daya Ram Sahni's (Director-General of the Archaeological Survey of India) Guide to the Buddhist ruins of Sarnath meets this criterion. If you feel otherwise, then please either provide what you feel is a better source, or add a ^{[better source needed]} tag, rather than simply reverting previous good faith edits. In this way, we can keep this article moving forward, bit by bit.DiverDave (talk) 16:55, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
