महात्मा, आत्मन, महा

These need to be formatted by a Sanskrit editor. — Beobach 07:56, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

I've formatted them a bit. For महात्मा (mahātmā) I used the Portuguese entry. However, it might be better just to delete all three, created by a permanently blocked editor and we have no real way of verifying them, I don't think we have any Sanskrit editors.

I can verify them later today (if I remember). I had a year of Sanskrit as an undergrad and another as a graduate student, that should be enough to get me through three dictionary entries. —Angr 09:49, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

OK, I've cleaned them up. महात्मा is the nominative of the adjective महात्मन्. आत्मन is a mistake for आत्मन्, and I've redirected it thither. महा is the form of महत् used in compounding. —Angr 20:31, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
