I removed this:

  • Prithvi was also the Maharaja of Nepal at the Canton Hospital, Zurich, Switzerland, 13th March 1955

I don't understand it.

And this:

  • Prithvi Narayan Shah was the King of Gorkha who unified small states of around Gorkha to make the current Nepal.

His name is really Prithvinarayan. The 2 belong together. He is never referred to as 'king Prithvi'. (Prithvi is a female name). Prater 19:29, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Proposal to merge

I oppose the proposal to merge this article on the general concept of Prithvi with a specific regional goddess. The two are not equivalent, and since neither article is well-sourced, combining them will not improve them. Buddhipriya 21:20, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Bhudevi or Bhumadevi is not a regional goddess. Bhu, Bhumi (like Dhra, Dhrati, Prithivi) are synonyms of Prithvi in Sanskrit, the suffix devi is added. Thus Prithvi and Bhudevi is the same goddess.--Redtigerxyz 10:48, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Should this article be merged with Bhumadevi and redirected? Shruti14 (talk • contribs) 19:29, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
Yes i feel that Bhumadevi be merged into Prithvi, which is a wider concept - goddess and element and Bhumadevi be ridirected.--Redtigerxyz 13:26, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Then, logically consistent, all goddesses should be merged into one article, they all are forms of the One. But Bhudevi is described totally different from Prithivi, because they are DIFFERENT forms of the earth goddess: Prithivi is spouse of the vedic (from the Vedas) god Dyaus Pita, but Bhudevi belongs to the puranic (from the Puranas) Varaha, avatar of Vishnu. So one article only would be totally wrong. (Sorry for my poor english, Durga from german wp) --80.108.164.202 21:10, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
