Guest guest Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 Dear Narshimha Ji Namste I dont know whether Satta in Hindi is derived from Sanskrit Satva but there is a Sanskrit word Satta meaning Excellence. To me it seems more logical that Satta in Hindi is taken from Sanskrit Satta when meaning of the word in both the languages is more or less same. But you may be correct. Thanks a lot for your Time and Sapce. Prabodh Vekhande vedic astrology, "pvr108" <pvr@c...> wrote: > Namaste Chandrashekhar ji, > > You are absolutely right. Mars is not the planet of sattwa guna.
