Hook

• Length, format, content rules:
• Source:
• Interest: Original not interesting. Perhaps use the 50 sons and magical weapons? Oh, I see Panyd's suggestion, which is better than the original. Tony (talk) 04:10, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

• ALT hooks, if proposed:
  • Alt 1: ... that weapons, like the Ayudhapurusha (pictured), are sometimes personified in Hindu art? Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 18:20, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Ayudhapurusha is not a weapon like a sword or spear. It is the human depiction of any divine weapon like a mace, bow, sword etc. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 16:26, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

• • ALT 2: ... according to Hindu epic Ramayana, Jaya gave birth to fifty powerful magical divine weapons?--Redtigerxyz ^Talk 16:26, 27 July 2011 (UTC) Looks better: the text says "magical", which is hooky. ... to 50 magical divine weapons?" The ref tag is there for ALT2; does it match with the current pic? Tony (talk) 02:40, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

The pic should be excluded. As Gada (mace) is a woman-weapon not part of the weapon-sons of Jaya. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 15:48, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
