FAQs

This says Sanskrit words can be used in Hindi entries only. What about Sanskrit words that do not directly translate into English? Can they be used in English entries?

I suspect that "you can use Sanskrit words in Hindi entry only" refers to Hindi words like Pitāśrī/Bhrātāśrī/Māmāśrī, which people hear all the time on Hindi language mythological TV shows and mistake for actual Saṃskṛta. These words could be forgiven in a Hindi entry, but in an English entry you would say Father, Brother, Uncle.

I asked if an English entry could include the word akṣauhiṇī, and Quantum-Dot said yes. So, I guess you could also use cakra-vyūha (instead of "Wheel Formation") or uttarīya (instead of "outer garment") in an English entry to keep the word count down.

Thank you!

I have written two dramas . While writing I got this doubt.

If I write in this format

A : ( Dialogue)

B: (Dialogue)

A: (Dialogue)

Then A and B will also be inclusive in the 50 words limit right?

Yeah I loved today's episode after so long, felt emotional. Will post on PAB forum after tomorrow's episode. My KR 😭

I am not watching today's episode . God .. the actor who plays KR is too good literally the best on ITV I guess . Can't watch him die and listen to Ahilya's wailing voice. Too much for my heart .
