Talk:Apsara

message: :Other Pictures
These pictures dont really illustrate the physical beauty part of the Apsara. They however point to the presence of Apsara in Indo-China and China.
:I'm going to place those photos back into the article so that readers can see what Apsaras from other parts of the World and in different cultures look like. I don't think your reason is good enough to have them taken out. They are depictions of apsaras no matter what. --Hecktor 19:51, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Why should "Apsaras" be singular? The singular form in all other Indian languages (as far as I know) is "Apsara"!! Or at least it is "Apsara" in Indian English (in Amar Chitra Katha comics) and Malayalam (according to the Malayalam-English Nighandu). In Hindustani, it appears to be "apsaraa": in Ankur, Surya complements Lakshmi with the line "Lakshmi, tu aaj aps'raa lagee hai" (translated as "Lakshmi, you look like an angel today").--70.112.164.32 03:31, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Though I don't know any of the Indian languages, I agree. In mythology books, I have always seen the name spelled as "apsara", not "apsaras". Could someone at least provide a linguistic/etymological reason why the spelling with the extra "s" is the correct one on this site? 24.14.198.8 22:47, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

text: It should be Apsaras, because in Sanskrit, final -s becomes visarga (-h). The singular nominative case is listed as apsarah, but in general singular usage, it should correctly be Apsaras. Listing it as "Apsara" and listing the plural as "Apsaras" demonstrates a lack of Sanskrit knowledge. The singular is in fact Apsaras, and the plurah is Apsarases.

message: Hindu gods are married to goddesses, but do apsaras play the role of concubines? In old India, a human noble has a wife & concubines, so perhaps each Hindu god has a goddess & celestial concubines. --DavidErskine02 (talk) 10:49, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Changed the ambiguous and unclear phrase "sage and nymph 'sported' together" to "engaged in sex"; please people get over the infantile prudishness, if one can't use a clear term such as coitus or sex in describing one of the most salient aspects of Apsaras then, one shouldn't even bother commenting on this subject; 'Sported' INDEED - unnecessarily ambiguous and unclear (did they play tennis together and thru immaculate conception produce a child? or did they engage in pure and natural coitus; obviously the latter). 70.83.175.116 (talk) 00:16, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
