Guest guest Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 May I ask please for help with yet another vocabulary word? The word is spelled 'sripithe' with an accent mark over the 's' and a line over each 'i' and a dot under the 't'. I couldn't find anything relating to it in the online dictionary. I tried the Sanskrit and then I tried the ol' English-word-guess-and-check. Thanks for all your help! --Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you also give the context - the text and verse? Sri - indicates - Lakshmi. Pate- husband of . So Sripate - husband of Lakshmi - ie - Vishnu. Now 'pita' (not to be confused with the bread :-) ) means 'father' - this doesnt have a dot under the t or a h following it. I am not sure what pitha (and consequently pithe) with the dot under t means - does anybody in the group know ? Jai Maa Latha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
