Ism I completely agree with you that Flood is a very good reference and have myself used on on several Hinduism related pages Wikidas added it to this article to support the following statements  This concept has ancient roots that is believed by some to have predated formation of some current major traditions of Hinduism using the quote   Early Vaishnava worship focuses on three deities  Pancaratra sect My question is does the quote support ie verify not reinforce etc the above statement  The larger point I am trying to make is that the article content should be writtenmodified to reflect reliable sources such as Floods book it is not proper to simply write down our POV and then just hang references willynilly Wouldnt you agree   PS There is also the issue that the statement in the article is hardly informative because it is not clear what this concept refers to and due to the weasel qualifiers believed by some  some  current  major  traditions but right now I am more concerned with misrepresentation of sources than crisp writing  since the latter is  not a sign of editorial misconduct on wikiepdia
