 * Swayambhu nath is not what the temple is called, this is a post Gorkhali addition, nath...go ask any Newar... I am correcting an imported/ imposed title. You are supporting the colonialist position.
 * Please check for yourself at https://swoyambhustupa.com. and then feel free to remove all the 'nath's
 * This is like calling it the Monkey Temple.... Nima t100 (talk) 09:13, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * oh, and while you are at it please amend the wiki entry title to swayambhu, not swayambhunath...
 * the same applies to Boudha, (not Boudhanath) Nima t100 (talk) 09:18, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

You have a source? Also, changing file names is hardly "correcting".  -  Sumanuil  '''. ''' (talk to me) 22:30, 31 January 2024 (UTC)


 * there is no 'source' per se since these are acts of colonialism.
 * however, if one refers to all the indigenous sources 'nath' is never used.
 * hence I shared the swoyambhustupa.com site - which is managed by the Buddhacaryas of swayambhu. you can also see that both the Devanagari: स्वयम्भू स्तूप and Nepal Bhasa: स्वयंभू given in the entry - only say swayamabhu or swayambhu stup. They don't use nath.
 * anyway, for 'sources' by omission I refer you to Hem Raj Shakya's tome https://shopratnaonline.com/sri-svayambhu-mahacaitya-hemraj-shakya-religious-book/
 * and any of A V Rospatt's research articles on Swayambhu

 * none of them use 'nath'
 * the colonisation is not limited to these gods, we see Seto and Rato Macchendranath, Minnath... actually they have indigenous names; Bunga Dyo, Karunamaya...but the gods have been conflated with Gorakhnath... who was brought by the Gorkhas...
 * https://sujan.net.np/about-newar/the-newar-pantheon/
 * Similarly, Boudhanath - it's indeginous name is Khasti caitya, noone ever says Kastinath
 * call it what you like if you don't like 'correction'. It's an act of decolonialisation Nima t100 (talk) 05:13, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
