vidüra vs. vidūra
[edit]I changed the transcription to the latter. In accepted English transcriptions of South Asian languages, vidūra is preferred over vidüra. Interlingua talk email 23:51, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
to be included: Vidura as Ksatta/Ksattri
[edit]Vidura was the son of Vyasadeva (a brahmana) and servant mother (a sudra). So why is he called Ksatta or Ksattri in Ganguly Mahabharata? If Vysadeva is considered 'just a brahmana' then according to Manu 10.8 (Buehler trans.):
"From a Brahmana a with the daughter of a Vaisya is born (a son) called an Ambashtha, with the daughter of a sudra a Nishada, who is also called Parasava."
Could it have been his nickname? Or? --Jan/VEDA
Ambika?
[edit]- According to this version, Ambika initially sent a maid in her place out of fear of Vyasa...
but this is the first time she's been mentioned here; and we have articles about three people named Ambika and at least six other "Ambikas". I'm linking to Ambika (Mahabharata), according to that article's text, but she shouldn't be introduced to the story as a participant without at least a brief explanation. --Thnidu (talk) 20:41, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
