| ययाति yayāti | Hindi Pan-Hindi (national print) | Yayati 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: 'इस मंडल को अब हम ययाति कहते हैं.' | vernacular |
| ययाति yayāti | Marathi Maharashtra | Yayati 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 mythological family is mapped as a set: ययाति (Perseus) beside देवयानी (Andromeda), शर्मिष्ठा (Cassiopeia), वृषपर्वा (Cepheus). | vernacular |
