[edit] touch ups

- I think the last paragraph needs some touching up. Novium 08:41, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

- Can anyone locate online excerpts of "Shani Mahatmya" ? Readers would benefit a lot from reading this text.

- What the hell? I finally found Shani Mahatmya online and the link has been taken off. I understand that it is a Tripod site (and contains pop-ups) but it is not my personal site. I really think that the link is invaluable and would help countless others who are suffering afflictions due to badly-placed Shani.

Otherwise, I think a new Wikipedia article featuring a direct translation of Shani Mahatmya could be created for the benefit of others.

[edit] re: merger

I support the merger of Shaneeswaran in Shani. While both the articles reflect to one and the same deity, the latter captures the essence more vividly, is quiet detailed and is also the more popular term used to refer to this deity. Tarun2k (talk) 16:30, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

First of all it is to be noted that Pronouns in Tamil and Malayalam end with "N". Globally known names would be more opt for Wikipedia adaption. So Shaneeswaran actually should be called Shaneeswara and refers to Shani. Therefore both the articles refer to the same deity.

Plz do not remove other's comments. Tarun2k (talk) 11:46, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
