Talk:Mahishamardini

I believe, we are refering to 'Mahishasurmardini' here. Mahishasurmardini = Mahish + asur + mardini = buffalo + demon + slayer. Mahishasurmardini is the slayer of Mahishasur, the demon who took up the form of a buffalo. However, Mahishasur's name is also Mahish, so 'Mahishamardini' as the slayer of Mahish, is an appropriate name, though 'Mahishasurmardini' is the more commonly used one.
