Talk:Book of Júk

Redirect or content
We need a consensus based on reliable sources, before this article is redirected to any article. Cole's article here writes,
 * The "book of Juk" could also be transliterated as the "book of Jug," a reference to the Persian translation of the Yoga Vasistha (Jug-Basisht), a work on Hindu mysticism probably written in the thirteenth century of the Common Era. Cast in the form of a dialogue purportedly between the Vedic sage Vasistha and his pupil Rama, this work shows influences of Vedanta, Yoga and even Mahayana Buddhism.  As noted above, Nizamu'd-Din Panipati carried out a translation of this book in the late 1500s.  The Safavid-era Iranian mystic Mir Findiriski (d. 1641) selected and commented on portions of Panipati's rendering of the Yoga Vasistha.  Mir Findiriski gained a reputation at the court of Shah `Abbas at early seventeenth-century Isfahan for asceticism, and he is said to have become, after his journeys in India, a vegetarian and an adorer of the sun who refused to go on pilgrimage to Mecca lest he be forced to sacrifice sheep.

The choice of could by Cole is tentative, and a redirect does not show tentativeness, it implies confirmation. We need more reliable scholarly sources for a direct. A better strategy may be to start this article, mention where the term is found, and Cole's hypothesis with wikilinks. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 02:01, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
