 * That would be because you are unfamiliar with the breadth and range of the topic, and the three or more different sources: Buddhist, Hindu (used by Theosophical sources), and Classical (used by Hermetic and magical sources). It would be WP:OR to shove them all together and call them the same thing. Skyerise (talk) 02:12, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
 * TL;DR: it's more subtle than that. Skyerise (talk) 04:31, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
