Semi-protected edit request on 19 October 2023

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

There is an error in dates under "Translations" section:

A Persian translation of Mahabharata, titled Razmnameh, was produced at Akbar's orders, by Faizi and ʽAbd al-Qadir Badayuni in the 18th century.[76]

According to cited sources the century should be 16th and not 18th. 24.14.81.72 (talk) 03:20, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Google books preview of the book doesn't include the cited page, and I can't seem to find it online elsewhere. If you have access to the page, it would be much appreciated if you could post a picture of it somewhere (in the worst case, I can try to get a physical copy from the National Art Library, but that will have to wait until next week...). Thanks. Liu1126 (talk) 09:20, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: Like Liu said, we do not have access to that source. A quote would be very much appreciated. Aaron Liu (talk) 15:10, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 27 February 2024

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Mahabharata. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Mahabharatha was also translated to Telugu somewhere between 11 Century CE and 14 Century CE by Kavitrayam (Trinity of poets), consisting of Nannayya, Thikkana and Yerrapragada (also known as Errana) with title ఆంధ్ర మహాభారతం(read Andhra Mahabharatam).
