@245CMR: Good work on this article! Just a couple comments below, the only one that is a showstopper for GA is the page numbers for citations. I'll place the article on hold until you can add those. --Cerebellum (talk) 10:51, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

• WP:LEADCITE, it is up to your discretion but you do not need citations in the lead if the information is cited in the body.

 Done, Moved to body..245CMR.•^👥📜 12:29, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

• Our article Prajapati does not italicize the term, what is the reason for the italics?

@Cerebellum: The word Prajapati refers to a creator deity (Brahma), as well as a group of deities who help Brahma in creation. Here Prajapati is a title.

• The word "Asikni" means "dark" or "not white". I would add "in Sanskrit" for clarity.

Changed to The Sanskit word "Asikni" means "dark" or "not white".

• The word is used in the Rigveda (c. 1500 BCE) to describe the river Chenab. WP:CITEKILL, you have four citations for this sentence but only need one.

 Done

• The second image is the family tree for Surya, but the article never mentions Surya. I would remove the image or add info on Surya to the article text.

Changed caption to "Like many other deities, the sun god Surya descended from Daksha and Panchajani (Asikni)." Asikni's daughters being progenitors is mentioned in the body.

• Some references are missing page numbers, for example 1, 2, 3. This is important for the GA criteria.

Added for most sources, but Debroy (Harivamsha) and AC Prabhupada (Bhagavata Purana) doesn't provide page numbers.

• Are there articles on the Hindi (or other Indian language) wikipedia for Virana or Panchajana? If so you can link them using the interlanguage link template, like this: Jamal al-Din al-Watwat.

@Cerebellum: No there is no such article. He is not notable and nothing is known about him other than him being a Prajapati and Asikni's father..245CMR.•^👥📜 11:07, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
