[edit] Disambiguation

It has been suggested that the page become a disambiguation page for Bhagavata, which can refer to either of two different religious traditions from two different time periods, as well as an abbreviated name of the Bhagavata Purana. This proposal can be discussed here. --Shruti14 t c s 18:06, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

I support the proposal. --Shruti14 t c s 18:06, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Support proposal for disambiguation. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 18:08, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Proposal clarification I would appreciate if you can outline which two different religious traditions you mean. As I can see the need of the disambiguation but some conclude that 4 c. BC Bhagavata and current Bhagavata sampradaya are the same tradition, and others are branches of that tradition, we need to have one article for all bhagavata traditions? I propose to have 3 main entries in disambiguation
  1. Bhagavata religious traditions that include anscient Bhagavatism as a section, as well as other traditions that belong to this line,
  2. Bhagavata as the name of purana, with the associated meanings of the term.
  3. Bhagavata as a devotee of Bhagavata Purana or Bhagavata(within one of the traditons belonging to Bhagavata No1.)Wikidās ॐ 16:14, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
