A fact from Barbara Stoler Miller appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 15 November 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the Sanskrit literature scholar Barbara Stoler Miller, whose translation of the Bhagavad Gita helped to popularise Indian literature in the United States, also translated Spanish poetry?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2007/November.

Bhartṛhari Spelling Ambiguity

This is more of a question than a suggestion. The IAST rendering of the Author is "Bhartṛhari," this is also the name of the Wikipedia page for him. But Barbara Stoler Miller's book uses the spelling "Bhartrihari," which is also a common English rendering of the Sanskrit vocalic r. I used her spelling for the title, but the IAST spelling for the author in order to conform it to the Wikipedia listing. What is the best practice? Also, shouldn't authors link to their Wikipedia pages? If so, how is this accomplished.

This article needs more information, and the Bibliography is lacking many things. I will try to make time to improve it, but I also hope someone else will help :) DirkJeffreyJohnson (talk) 22:36, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
