Talk:Sharada Peeth

the word tithe is incorrect
In the article a word "tithe" is used. Actual word is sanskrit tithee (तिथी). It means day of half lunar month. In Indian calendars a month consists of two half months: waxing moon half and waning moon half month. The waxing half month culminates into a full moon. And waning ends in a new moon. So for example Hindu festival Diwali is last day of waning half month of Ashvin month in Vikram Era calendar. And तिथी is day of that half month. So in effect it is like what is in western calendar day of month. There are 12 lunar months and 24 half months. So eighth tithee (तिथी) means eighth day of the referred half month (qv). So words: "eighth tithe of the bright half of the month" should be modified to read: "eighth tithee (तिथी) of the bright half of the month".

Wikipedia needs occasionally write non-english words and there is a need to agree on an official transliteration for every non-english language that the writers feel they need to borrow from and reproduce as it is. For example, Diwali, Quran etc. These words have entered englisg language but for words like तिथी we must agree on a transliterative notation that works well for all sanskrit words which have not become part of english language. One such notation is ITRANS. In ITRANS I think तिथी would be transliterated as tithii or equivalently tithI. Einsteinwallah (talk) 22:06, 24 July 2022 (UTC)


 * @Einsteinwallah: That is a decent point, but the word in the article is part of a direct quote, so the formatting is not so much a quirk of Wikipedia as the style of the author of the book it comes from. Kohlrabi Pickle (talk) 06:54, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * since word tithe is a valid english word with different meaning then intended here by all means retain it but add a "sic" following this and provide correct transliterated word that was intended. Einsteinwallah (talk) 17:08, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Well the direct quote has a misleading transliteration of sanskrit word तिथी. Reader will be confused reading original text. So maybe we can add word "sic" in parentheses where misleading transliteration "tithe" is used followed by a comma followed by explanation of why "sic" is used. Like this: (sic, word tithe is a valid english word which is not meant here, rather original author meant a transliteration of sanskrit word: तिथी, IAST: tithī) Einsteinwallah (talk) 18:43, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

The Sharada Peeth lies in Pak-occupied-Kashmir and it is integral part of India. It is not the Azad Kashmir. The POK is clearly visible as India's part in the official map of India. SAURABHCH1995 (talk) 13:59, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

In the associated figures section, in the first line of the Vatesvara paragraph, there is this word "Indian mathematicianwho" where "who" is also unnecessarily cited with Mathematican.
