Comment

this article is intended to be a stub. I know nothing about this Sagara, but the name came up while I was disambiguating.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Malangali (talkcontribs) 22:55, August 23, 2006

Vedic king?

Is Sagara a notable figure (or, even mentioned) in any of the Vedas? As far as I can figure, he appears only in the Mahabharata and the Puranas, and the article therefore needs to be renamed. Any suggestions on alternate titles: Sagara (Hinduism), Sagara (mythology), Sagara (Suryavanshi), ...? Pinging @Redtigerxyz: for input. Abecedare (talk) 16:00, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Abecedare: Not sure if he is in the Vedas. G. S. Ghurye does consider him a Vedic king and mentions him in his "Vedic India". --Redtigerxyz Talk 09:32, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I guess the "Vedic" is a reference to his era or dynasty, and not the sources. In any case, if he has been referred t as such, best to retain the article under the current name. Abecedare (talk) 14:30, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
