I hope to add pronunciation information soon, as well as an info-box, and in time create pages for all Wikilinks which lack them.

Noun declension[edit]

Stop me if I am egregiously incorrect here, but to in this case should mean it is the dative, not the locative or even ablative, and the suffix for the dative, ablative or locative is dependent on the root word, not just its gender. Also, if your listing the names of these poses instead of describing the action, wouldn't you maintain nominative suffixes like in yogāsanas? Hence all the -a endings in āsana names. Definitely curious to here from a Sanskrit professional.Iṣṭa Devata (talk) 16:56, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

well, now we have some drstis in nominative cases and some in locative. And locative should be translated here as "on" not "to". "To" would be dative or accusative. But since they are being listed nominally they should all receive nominal endings "-a/-aḥ". And we might need to tone down the grammar talk on the actual page: the only people who care what a locative suffix is already know how to spot one. The information needs to be brief and to the point so it is accessible to laymen.Iṣṭa Devatā (talk) 08:56, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
