Talk:Kripa

Notes on sources

 * A more-critical source to is:


 * Why we are using a non-critical (pre-Pune) edition — ? Even Manmatha Nath Dutt is better. The best translation for the cited portions of Udyoga Parva, Shalya Parva, and Stri Parva are:


 * Who is C.P. Varkey?
 * Penguin Book Of Hindu Names For Boys - seriously?


 * Greg Bailey, who drafted the Oxford Bibliography of Purāṇas notes, This is not well referenced and seems to treat the Mahābhārata and the Rāmāyaṇa on the same basis as the Purāṇas.

 * Vettam Mani's book is well-cited book, scholars like R. C. Hazra have used it. Handbook of Hindu mythology calls it "a remarkably through work on the Puranas and is invaluable for more comprehensive studies of Hindu mythology". "Encyclopedia of Hinduism" by Constance A. Jones and James D. Ryan uses it. Redtigerxyz  Talk 06:30, 11 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Dalal is yet another poor source, and uses no citation. I will rewrite the article using the above sources alongside our best critical edition of Agni Purana (1). TrangaBellam (talk) 20:44, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

No need, KMG and Wilson are widely accepted and nothing much about Kripa is different in the Critical Edition. Mani's work is sourced and so what if he put Mbh and Ramayana.....his sources are good and most users use it. Other books are by scholars ( Names give inline citations, Dalal) gives bibliography in their books are by experts. This is a Wikipedia article and it already follows what is there in criteria. So please see for another article. . 245CMR . •👥📜 02:39, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
