Untitled comment[edit]

please, Vāsudeva is just the vrddhi patronymic derived of Vasudeva. There is no reason to keep this article separate from Krishna just because of a single Klostermaier soundbite. dab (𒁳) 09:45, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We already have a few moves and merges without a consensus. I will post the note on the relevant project boards on the inclusion of relevant references and the full text to Krishna and Krishnaism articles. If we have a clear consensus I would suggest doing it as a separate section. You seem to ignore a number of other references that are provided. Any specific reason? Please note that WP:CFORK is to be read in conjunction with consensus guidelines. Wikidās -ॐ 10:08, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unless there is a lot more original content relevant to Vaasudeva and this content is clearly distinct from the content relevant to Krishna, this article should be merged into the Krishna article. Imc (talk) 15:44, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have to look up some more reference, the article is only 1 day old. Wikidās -ॐ 16: 04, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

The Wheel[edit]

Doesn't the wheel represent the Buddhist Noble Eightfold Path? Interesting that this was not pointed out anywhere. Abhinav Yd (talk) 17:11, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Abhinav Yd: The Sudarshana Chakra is a standard attribute of Vāsudeva-Krishna. पाटलिपुत्र Pat (talk) 18:50, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sudarshana Chakra is small weapon that rests on one finger, at least in the modern depictions of the Vishnu/Krishna. While this looks more like a big wheel a third of the size of the person holding it, with exactly 8 spokes. Abhinav Yd (talk) 19:23, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Abhinav Yd: is right in that it's certainly different to the modern Sudarshan Chakra. This book just calls it a "wheel" and associates it with the chakra of the emperor (chakravartin) Dāsānudāsa (talk) 11:31, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Dāsānudāsa: Nice reference! Thanks! पाटलिपुत्र Pat (talk) 11:56, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Entire article description is wrong.[edit]

Vasudeva means all pervading Brahman, vasudeva is name of Vishnu in Krishna avatar , one who resides in everything and everyone. @Chronikhiles @Chariotrider555 2409:4071:D8D:F611:0:0:6548:5313 (talk) 14:48, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article is mainly about the historical development of Vāsudeva as a legendary hero, rather than the name for the modern Vishnu/Krishna into which he developed/was incorporated. Dāsānudāsa (talk) 15:24, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
