Talk:Tara (Ramayana)

Untitled
Here what is written is wrong. Sati Tara Devi never married Sugreeva. What happened is that Sugreeva returned from the cave after closing the entrance and became king. He told Tara Devi to marry him. Tara Devi said no but Sugreeva insisted saying that if she agrees, then he will make Angad (son of Tara and Vali) the crown prince and king. Tara Devi made the excuse that let 40 days pass after death of Vali and only after mourning period she can think of such proposals. So Sugreeva waited for 40 days. Day and night, Tara Devi would weep and pray to all the Gods for help. She fasted and prayed to Goddess Gauri for help in this time. on the 40th day, when the time was coming for Sugreeva to call, Tara Devi made preparations for suicide and cried long and begged Goddess Gauri for help. Now at the last minute, Tara Devi's prayers were answered. Suddenly her husband Vali appeared out of nowhere in the city of Kishkinda. He saw what was happening and the rest is history. He kicked out Sugreeva. Later, after Ramji had killed Vali. Ramji arrows were faster than Vali, ramji shot arrows at Vali on the chest. Tara Devi committed sati. She sat on the funeral pyre with her husband's head in her lap and from there, the great Sati, Tara Devi, criticised Ramji very badly. This "NINDA-STUTI" is an important part of all versions of Ramayana. After hearing her criticism, Ramji agreed with it and said that the world will remember her always as a great Sati and remembering her memory will itself be a PUNYA to all chaste suhagan women. Please correct the story in the article on these lines. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.182.139.49 (talk) 13:56, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

for GA review
RedTygerz, thanks for all your hard work on the Hinduism articles. As a reminder before the GA reviewer gets to them, you'll want to remove the citations from the lead of the articles you nominate and make sure to remove the period at the end of image captions that are not complete sentences. -- Lemurbaby (talk) 14:29, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
 * The citation is required in the lead in this case and as the meaning of the name is not repeated anywhere in the further text. -- Redtigerxyz Talk 05:50, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Since the lead is meant to be a general introduction and overview of material contained later in the article, the Manual of Style seems to suggest that in most cases it's preferable that information in the lead be discussed in more detail in the actual body of the article, and that in-body discussion is where the citation would be included. You're right that citations in the lead can be admitted - on a case by case basis. Thanks again for your contributions here. -- Lemurbaby (talk) 08:48, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
