The current (17/3/2008) edition of the article states: "They [Vinayakas as a race] had many characteristics in common with imps, goblins, and gnomes in Western European mythology." Can one of the editors more knowledgable in Sanskrit or in Hindu sacred texts expand upon this idea? As of the article now, there are no characteristics listed. 67.162.118.167 (talk) 23:33, 17 March 2008 (UTC) Chris G.
