Matha has a meaning of Mother also[edit]

The IAST of Matha is only given as मठ. However, Matha can also be written as माता. The root meaning of माता is given as Mother / Motherly love etc as per https://hi.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%A4%E0%A4%BE Need to check the differences in meanings.

More Nuanced Description Needed. Its about the order An Ashram has retreat and commune like features and Maths are more relaxed on those.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chreader (talk • contribs) 03:58, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Maţha, Maṭha, or Matha? Move page?[edit]

The article is named Maţha, with a comma accent below the t. This is not correct: if the t is to have any diacritical mark at all, it should be a dot below: ṭ. However, I am not sure it needs any diacritical mark. I propose to move the article, either to Maṭha, or back to Matha, where it started. Any comments?

On Wikipedia I have also seen this spelled muth. Is that an acceptable variant spelling or an error?

It should be Maṭha (Latin letter t with dot below). Its better to remove the dot in the title, as search engines should be able to find "matha". However an IAST form can be included. 59.95.30.243 (talk) 05:59, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

@Pratyk321: do you have any source for this 4th-2nd century BCE matha claim? Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 23:17, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

My contribution was only "File:Upper Temple Complex at Tirumalai.jpg|thumb|Arahanthgiri Jain Math", I didn't mention any year or century.

I just checked, this edit was done by some IP (120.56.236.175) according to link this provided by you. I undid the revision made by IP 120.56.236.175
