Talk:Shiva Tandava Stotra

message: I removed the external links from this article believing that they did not fit WP:EL.  I just read the following line from that link
An article about a book, a musical score, or some other media should link to a site hosting a copy of the work if none of the "Links normally to be avoided" criteria apply.
Which pretty much decides that the links do belong.
I apologize for not researching the guidelines for external links more thoroughly.

message: This article says that Shiva granted Ravana invulnerability. The Ravana article says it was Brahma. I know that different sources may say different things, but it would be useful to have the source. -- Q Chris (talk) 22:13, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

message: I wanted to know if the spacing between English words should be like the Sanskrit notation or should let it be as is. I personally want to let the spacing be as is because its easy to learn or to read, but keeping it like the Sanskrit version is makes it more accurate. For example, "जटाटवीगलज्जलप्रवाहपावितस्थले" will not translate to "Jata tavee gala jala pravaha pavithas thale" and instead will be read as "Jatataveegalajalpravahapavithasthale". It will be one word, just like the Sanskrit text instead of wrongly splitting into 7 different English words. (I say wrong because they're not all split according to rules of "Sandhis" and "Samasas") Let me know how it should be, I'm confused myself. Any and all suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

message: So I am new to Wikipedia and in order to improve this page, I added translation from some site. The site had copyright material and my change was reverted. I do not contest that change. I have, however, added back the translation that existed before my change. I suppose it should be ok because that translation existed for a long time. Let me know if you disagree.

message: I removed the entire text of the Stotra per WP:NOTLYRICS. It is salvaged below - please feel free to copy it to Wikisources. — kashmīrī TALK 16:53, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Query to the removal of text: Deleting this section would remove two critical aspects -- Pronunciation and Meaning -- of the said lines. Consider that this is not just a song, but a rare example of early Sanskrit verse not derived from Vedas or its associated sources. If you'd still insist that the section be deleted, please find a way to restore the Meaning of the verses to the given article and a create the Wikisource page. Otherwise, the quality of article is affected adversely by the deletion. Pats (talk) 13:33, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  Well, judging from the style it is not really "early Sanskrit", I don't know whether anyone has tried to date this verse but to me it doesn't really feel earlier than the beginnings of Christian era. But that's a minor detail and I agree that there is a lot that can be written about its style, e.g., about a skillful use of assonance. Still, a Wikipedia article is not the place to store entire texts; Wikisource has been created precisely for that purpose. — kashmīrī TALK 16:42, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
