Talk:A428 road

message: The article claims that this bypass will be part of the A428, but all the news media and Co Council statements refer to it as the A421-A428 link.  They also talk about "the last section of the bypass" to be completed will be to connect it to the A6.  So everything seems to suggest that the bypass will be designated as the A6. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 18:19, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Talk:A508 road

message: The A508 ends at a roundabout with four other exits: A5 southbound, local road into Old Stratford, A422 westbound, A5 northbound. So the last junction is with the A5 and the A422. To list the A422 after the A5 implies a sequence that doesn't exist.

message: According to Rele -- 'There are many kinds of Dasha systems, Parashara mentions forty-two of them, but of these only two are in vogue, namely, "Vimshottari" and "Ashtottari".' 
Rele was written in 1970, since then there has been a huge revival and interest in other Dasha systems, in particular, the various Jaimini Dasha systems such as Manduka, Chara, and so on. Plus interest in Yogini and Kalachakra Dasha.
