Regarding "unreliable source"

@Chronikhiles, the source(astrojyoti) you removed is (and was) actually being used before in the article. And are you sure that this source is in the book? (22) Because when I added that info I checked it in the astrojyoti site.

Thanks Tusharhero (talk) 02:17, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

@Tusharhero I see, is there a reason why you shifted the Rocher source from the sentence that ended with Vaikuntha to your newly added inclusion? That gives the misleading impression that your inclusion is sourced. I will shift it to where it was before for now, but do let me know if you have an explanation. This article still has many unreliable sources, unfortunately, I know that. I'll try to replace the astrojyoti source with a more reliable one if possible. Chronikhiles 04:32, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

@ChronikhilesI made a mistake by shifting the Rocher source. I got the information about the Buddhist city from the astrojyoti source. I think we can find a better translation/commentary for the Kalki purana and use that as the source for this information.

PS: How do you get that color on your name? Tusharhero (talk) 05:08, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

I've deleted the unreliable sources of the section and added primary sources from the English translation of the Kalki Purana itself. Do try to find if there are other translations as well, as many of the sources I added were from the same book.
