Guest guest Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Shri Brahmadaru Smarami Dear Ramapriya, Just bumped across the meaning of nakshatra in the Shamba Purana. Nakshatras are those bodies which never erode, that which do not have 'kshaya'. Na (no, does not)+ Kshi (this is from the word ksha meaning destruction) + Atra (here, in this respect or matter): That which does not get destroyed or eroded - nakshatra. Na + Kshi+ Atra + K This is how the grammar is written. Best Regards, Sarbani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Dear Sarbani, Thank you so much, although the other puranic whizgirl got there first with this, having mailed me nearly a week ago J Noticed how a benign Q brought forth such erudition? Classy! Respects, Ramapriya ayirpamar On 6/11/05, Sarbani Sarkar <sarbanisarkar wrote: Shri Brahmadaru Smarami Dear Ramapriya, Just bumped across the meaning of nakshatra in the Shamba Purana.
