[edit] Translation of Sanjaya

I had to change the translation of Sanjaya. It said Sanjaya "literally" means victory. Sanjaya does not literally mean victory. Anus does.

From the sanskrit dictionary

Jaya means:

jaya - mfn. ( %{ji}) ifc. conquering , winning see %{RtaM-} , %{kRtaM-} , %{dhanaM-jaya4} , %{puraM-} , %{zalruM-} ; m. (Pa1n2. 3-3 , 56 Ka1s3.) conquest , victory , triumph , winning , being victorious

San means:

san - 1 cl. 1. P. , 8. P. A1. (Dha1tup. xiii , 21 ; xxx , 2) %{sa4nati} , %{-te} or %{sano4ti} , %{sanute} (A1. rare and only in non-conjugational tenses, to gain , acquire , obtain as a gift , possess , enjoy, RV. AV. Br. S3rS. ; to gain for another , procure , bestow , give , distribute

So Sanjaya can mean someone who gains victory or who conquers or wins, or one who gives those things. Shiva das 12:27, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bulky disambiguation passages

We have at least 'three' disambiguation redirects at the beginning of this article. Why don't we put all those redirect notices in Sanjay disambiguation article, and have one message redirecting disambiguation traffic there? It would certainly be less clunky. Siyavash 02:45, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Another user just added Malakar to the top again. How about making Sanjaya the disambiguation and moving this page to something like Sanjaya (Hinduism)? eLLe.Le 00:17, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
