Vishvamitra connection

Why are references to Vishvamitra being deleted? It is a traditional notion in Ayurvedic circles that Sushruta is the son of sage Vishvamitra, I have added three available references also. Mahabharata and Susruta-samhita mentions it. If that has to be challenged then one has to come up with counter evidences instead of deleting references. Amusingly, my additions were dubbed as Vandalism with respect to some version by Wujastyk. One fails to see the logic behind that.

name inconsistency

Why is his name referred to as Sushruta everywhere in the article except the title? The title uses Sushuruta. Suggestion: either make the names consistent, or explain why they differ. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.225.38.209 (talk) 20:54, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Probably this happened because of different transliteration methods in different sources. I would be happy to make the names consistent if someone could provide a rationale as to why one name is more correct than the others. Blue Rasberry (talk) 21:12, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The sheer difference in number of ghits gives reasonable indication that we probably should prefer Sushruta for the article title. I'll place a request at WP:RM. --Paul_012 (talk) 18:22, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

2000 ghits for the current name versus 60000 for Sushruta. Furthermore, the first 100 ghits seem to be about this surgeon and not any other person with this name. I support the move. Blue Rasberry (talk) 18:56, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Devanagari form सुश्रुत reads "suśruta". Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:05, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No content

"Sushruta" is the name of the supposed author of the Sushruta Samhita. Apparently some experts think that he may have been a historical physician who lived a full millennium before the composition of this text, but I don't really see any reference to any argument to the effect. Apart from this question, there is nothing that can be said in an article on "Sushruta", as opposed to an article about the Sushruta Samhita. Consequently, this page has no potential and can be merged into a short section of the main article. --dab (𒁳) 10:52, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@Dbachmann pardon for the ping in the old thread, but the topic is as relevant as it was before. The word Sushruta means "well heard". Sushruta Samhita can also mean "well heard Compendium". Basically a composition of best know practices of that time. overtime, users have added references from mythological text like Mahabharat here. It is of no relevance. Can you take a look again? I still believe a redirect merge with the book article is sensible here. Venkat TL (talk) 14:24, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
