| वृषपर्वा vṛṣaparvā | Hindi Pan-Hindi (national print) | Vrishaparva 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. Prose: 'सेफियस के लिए वृषपर्वा का नाम चुना गया' — reported as a modern selection. | vernacular |
| वृषपर्वा vṛṣaparvā | Marathi Maharashtra | Vrishaparva (Sharmishtha's father) 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). The bright star between the two figures is Tycho's supernova of 1572. | vernacular |
