Talk:Butea monosperma

Latest comment: 6 months ago by Drew Stanley in topic In other languages

Much of what was on the Butea article actually referred to just this one only, so I transferred most of the specific stuff to here, and trimmed down the Butea article.Colinvlr (talk) 20:50, 10 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Flame of forest?

Which one is Flame of forest, this one, or Delonix regia?Lilaac (talk) 20:45, 3 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Undoubtedly it is Butea monosperma. I have seen tracks and jungles of both. See the uploaded picture of a Butea forest. - Gopalan evr (talk) 03:35, 22 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Non-English poetry

edit

I have moved the following poem from the text. For an English language encyclopedia, this isn't helpful without an English translation. If someone would like to provide a translation and then return it to the article, that would be great. Deli nk (talk) 19:13, 22 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

 ਤਪਦੇ ਕੇਸੂ ਛੂਹਣ ਲਈ
 ਵਲ ਰੋਹੀਆਂ ਜਾਵੇਂ,
 ਮੰਗੂ ਮੇਰੇ ਦੂਰ ਨੇ
 ਕਿਸੇ ਬ੍ਰਿਛ ਦੀ ਛਾਂਵੇਂ,
 ਭੇਦ ਪੁਰਾਣਾ ਕਦੋਂ ਦਾ, ਵਲ ਪੱਤਣਾਂ ਚਾਇਆ,
 ਮਨ ਪਰਦੇਸੀ ਜੇ ਥੀਐ, ਸਭ ਦੇਸ ਪਰਾਇਆ।
         -ਝਨਾਂ ਦੀ ਰਾਤ (੩੯੧)

 Tapade kesū chūhaṇa laī
 vala rohīāṃ jāveṃ,
 maṃgū mere dūra ne
 kise bricha dī chāṃveṃ,
 bheda purāṇā kadoṃ dā, vala pattaṇāṃ cāiā,
 mana paradesī je thīai, sabha desa parāiā.
         -Jhanāṃ dī rāta (391)

Theravada Buddhism

edit

I removed this sentence from the section Cultural associations:

In Theravada Buddhism, called Medhankara – මේධංකර, Butea monosperma is said to have been used as the tree to achieve enlightenment, or Bodhi, by Buddha. The plant is known as කෑල in Sinhala.

Basically, I found the source that it may have been taken from: [1]

but then if we look up the Cowen source [2], there is no reference to Theravada Buddhism!

Since I don't know Sinhala, i can't check any original sources. Please let me know if you know more. Drew Stanley (talk) 02:27, 4 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

In other languages

edit

The below section was removed from the article.

I did not create the section, but i believe we can fix it and put it back in. the reason is that many of the english sources actually use these names (like palasha) to describe the plant. It used to be in the introductory section - the whole list, and some of the elements are redirects (again like palasha), but I moved it for readability. I am working on fixing the section to make it standard as well as adding references that can be found.
