Tripura Upanishad

 * ... that Sricakra (pictured) is mentioned in Tripura Upanishad – a medieval era introductory text on a secrecy-filled Tantra tradition that developed in a period of political instability?


 * ALT1:... that the Hindu text Tripura Upanishad states Moksha and religious freedom is the attainment of one's own real nature?
 * Reviewed: Tina Allen

 * ALT2: ...that the Tripura Upanishad is a Hindu text notable as a complete introduction to the Shakta Tantra tradition?
 * ALT3: ...that the Tripura Upanishad's 16 verses introduce the goddess Tripura as the Hindu divine mother and ultimate Godhead of the Hindu pantheon?

Excellent article. I took the liberty of re-arranging the lede a bit to make it a little less reliant on internal jargon. New enough, long enough, all of the hooks above are cited. I'm not a fan of the first hook because it starts off-topic which rarely works (IMHO). For the author: if you continue working on this, perhaps some counterpoints to Brooks? Waiting on QPQ, nom appears to have five articles in this list alone. Maury Markowitz (talk) 12:59, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Did you miss the Tina Allen QPQ above? I have done dozens of DYK reviews, and if you check the credits you should find I have more review credits than noms. On counterpoint to Brooks, I would love to add it, but there isn't WP:RS with counterpoint available (if you know any, please identify). I have struck out ALT3 you proposed because it neither accurately reflects the Tripura Upanishad nor is supported by the article/sources. I also trimmed ALT2 for the same reason and to correct the wikilink because neither all nor most Hindu texts are Upanishads. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 14:25, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg I did miss the QPQ. All good to go. Prefer ALT2. Maury Markowitz (talk) 14:54, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
