Article on Abhira reference in 13th century book [Yadavabhyudaya]

Vedanta Yadavabhyudaya book [1] Desikan was a Sri Vaishnava Acharya who lived in the 13th century. He was instrumental in saving the Sri Rangam temple from the Muslim invasions. Vadakalai Sri Vaishnavas follow Vedanta Desikan’s teachings, in contrast to Thenkalai Sri Vaishnavas who follow the teachings of Pillai Lokacharya and Manavala Mamunigal.

In any case, the Yadavabhyudayam is a Sanskrit epic poem composed by Vedanta Desikan about the story of Krishna’s childhood. It is modeled after Kalidasa’s Raghuvamsa, a Sanskrit epic poem about the life of Rama.

निक्ात्ययस्नानसष्ठचतानां निश्िप्तमाभीरक्रिशोर्किणाम्‌ ।

कूलादुपाद्‌ाय दुङ्लजाहं इन्दाषिषूठो पु्दे भृङन्दः ॥ ४७ ॥ chapter 4.

Sri Krishna rejoiced (by freely seeing them naked) having ascended a Kunda tree, taking a number of silk sarees from the bank, kept there by the abhira-cowherd-Virgins, when they entered the water to bath in the early morning (as part of their vow).

suggestion to who so ever, trying to protect the article, please update the page as necessary for thankless effort. Clrsitusinsall (talk) 03:57, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

change "traditionally non-elite, peasant-pastoral communities" to traditionally agricultural community. As most of the castes identified along with Yadavs like Jat, earlier the page Jat had non elite as well but it is now removed or the other castes like Gujjar which are even considered lower in hierarchy than Ahirs and Jats also do not mention something like this. I think this is the Major problem in this page, seniors edtors may have a look. Refrences ^[1] ^[2] ^[3] ^[4] ^[5] ^[6] ^[7] Brandon42Paul (talk) 14:50, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: However, I think your 6th reference is the strongest reason to remove it: "The general OBC category was, in fact, often used by a Yadav elite to promote its interests.". Only because this argument has been going on for over a decade, I'm loathe to change it on my own. @C.Fred:, I noticed you closed a few of these out recently, any thoughts? – macaddct1984 ^{(talk | contribs)} 23:30, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Partly done: Removed "non-elite", which seems to be the locus of the dispute. There is significant opposition backed by evidence, and the burden lies on those seeking to include. —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 16:24, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done! Can you please check Yadavs in Modern India section as well, it is purposely added there as well! Brandon42Paul (talk) 15:04, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Great job done, Brandon.

Your compassion is much appreciated, Compassionate727.

It's amusing that some individuals (edit and revert history highlights them) were dismissing historical, mythological, and British records as outdated and unreliable, insisting that the page should only focus on the modern-day Yadav. Ironically, their argument was countered using recent government documentation, effectively ending a decade-long struggle against persistent mischief and abuse of admin privileges.

The Mahabharata and other authoritative works use the three terms-Ahir, Yadav and Gopa synonymous.^[1] 2409:4085:8595:1D21:0:0:23E8:48AD (talk) 15:34, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done Added to the "Origins" section. Dāsānudāsa (talk) 08:41, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Dāsānudāsa, but you removed it. 2409:4085:9CCE:7ACA:0:0:8809:7C09 (talk) 19:17, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Dāsānudāsa, The Abhiras or Ahirs, the Gopas and the Yadavas were one and the same; as such, Krishna was an Ahir and, at the same time, a Gopa and a Yadava too. The Mahabharata uses all the three terms-Gopa, Yadava and Abhira-as synonyms. And so do many others, like Buddhaswamin (Brihatkathashlok-kathashloksamgraha), Jayadeva (Gita-govinda) and Amarasimha (Amarakosha).^[1] 2409:4085:9CCE:7ACA:0:0:8809:7C09 (talk) 19:41, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

According to @NXcrypto:, Pran Nath Chopra is not a reliable source, so I reverted myself. I don't know enough about him to me a decision either way. If someone more knowledgeable about these sources than myself wants to re-add it, they can. Dāsānudāsa (talk) 11:33, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
