Little Help

You might want to keep an eye on the edits made to Historical Vedic Religion. It might be worth requesting page protection. I'm doing my best, but I won't be able to monitor it consistently. DangalOh (talk) 20:49, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

@DangalOh Thanks. I had originally reverted the series of edits because it was not clear to me why they were added because no edit comments was added - I am not quite familiar with the content that was getting added, so thought an explanation can help. But sure, will look if any changes comes there, and maybe ask for page protection. I will also try to read sources to understand more. Asteramellus (talk) 12:28, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Geeta verse 2.62-63 / Mohā

Hi @Asteramellus, the translation you provided for these verses, indicating a transition from krodha to moha (delusion), is not technically incorrect if we follow a literal translation. Here, moha is used as a somewhat ambiguous term for delusion, while attachment is represented by 'sanga'. However, verse 2.52 already established the relationship between moha and the delusion caused by attachment, making it unclear how anger could lead to attachment. Therefore, I modified the translation to make more sense in this context. Many ideas have evolved since the Gita, and there are various commentaries. I hope you agree with my adjustment. It is indeed a tricky interpretation. If you believe we should do a literal translation without considering the previous one, I am fine with that as well. Thank you.
