| नौतल nautala | Hindi Pan-Hindi (national print) | the ship's keel The book's भारतीय नाम for the constellation in its complete 88-constellation concordance. Muley himself notes (p. ~16) that uniform Indian names across languages were still to be settled — the set is part report of circulating usage, part proposal. Muley names the IAU quarters of old Argo separately: नौतल (keel), पिच्छल (stern), पाल (sail), दिक्सूचक (compass); Dikshit's undivided नौका is the older Devanagari name. | vernacular |
| नौका naukā | Marathi Maharashtra | the ship One of the Sanskrit names for the Western constellations that Dikshit credits to Bal Shastri Jambhekar (d. 1846) and reports as current: 'पाश्चात्यांनीं कल्पिलेल्या बाकीच्या राशींस संस्कृत संज्ञा शास्त्री जांभेकर यांनीं दिल्या आहेत. त्याच हल्लीं मराठींत येतात.' (p. 35-36). नौका is the undivided Argo; the 46-year variable described is η Carinae, so the app hangs the name on Carina. Muley (1993) names the IAU quarters separately (नौतल, पिच्छल, पाल). | vernacular |
