@Tezz I just posted a question related to the Skanda Purana chapter I showed you:
0
Q: Who is the current moon god, Soma son of Atri or Tvisiman son of Dharma?

Keshav SrinivasanThis excerpt from the Anusanga Pada of the Brahmanda Purana describes the gods of the different planets and the Nakshatras they were born in in the present Vaivasvata Manvantara. In particular, it says this: Tvisiman, the son of Dharma, the lord moon god, the son of Vasu, the cool-rayed caus...

Got it thanks @KeshavSrinivasan btw,i don't understand Sanskrit some texts are in Sanskrit.

Keshav Srinivasan
@RohitSinghRathore Oh, which ones are purely in Sanskrit?

I've to look again as I didn't download but I downloaded non Sanskrit texts. @KeshavSrinivasan

@RohitSinghRathore I think there are some that contain both Sanskrit and English.

@KeshavSrinivasan English is not much used. -_- I think in 1st & 2nd link.

Keshav Srinivasan
@RohitSinghRathore You mean the ones by K.C. Pandey?
 
Rohit Singh Rathore
Rohit Singh Rathore
Wait, I'm downloading again. Will tell you then after.
What do you think about this Muslim claim? @KeshavSrinivasan @Tezz @SreeCharan @SwiftPushkar @anuvaramban @TheDestroyer quora.com/Is-it-allowed-to-have-sex-slaves-in-Hinduism
Yes @KeshavSrinivasan K.C Pandey
 
Keshav Srinivasan
Keshav Srinivasan
@RohitSinghRathore OK, the K.C. Pander book is a multi-volume book. If I remember only one of the volumes contains the English translation.
@RohitSinghRathore I just did a search in my computer for Ishwara Pratyabhijna and then I emailed you all the books that I found on my hard drive.
 
Rohit Singh Rathore
Rohit Singh Rathore
Yes. I still have to go through so the links. @KeshavSrinivasan it's okay. Many texts are helpful as well.

@RohitSinghRathore I think wrong translations. The word "dasi" is mistranslated as "Slave" in Puranas and Mahabharta. I think i can refute his answer (Puranic portions).
 
Keshav Srinivasan
Keshav Srinivasan
@RohitSinghRathore The scriptural passages quoted in that post just discuss female servants, they don't discuss anything inappropriate.
 
Rohit Singh Rathore
Rohit Singh Rathore
Yes, you should answer there on Quora with strong refutations. Mention his name there as well.
@TheDestroyer
But question asked was on sex slaves @KeshavSrinivasan
 
The Destroyer
The Destroyer
@RohitSinghRathore Ok. But I stopped using Quora and it is becoming nonsense.

Rohit Singh Rathore
He quoted this -
‘Raikva, there are a thousand cows, a necklace, a carriage with mules, this wife, and this village in which you dwellest. Sir, teach me!’
Then considering her (the princess) as the door for imparting knowledge, Raikva said:
“O Sudra! You brought these cows and other presents; this is good. But you will make me speak now only through this means (i.e. the princess).” [Chandogya 4/2/5]
This incident proves that women were gifted just like other animals and the so-called priests yearned them badly.
 
Keshav Srinivasan
Keshav Srinivasan
@RohitSinghRathore A king giving a man his daughter's hand in marriage has nothing to do with slavery. Arranged marriage is not slavery.

@RohitSinghRathore They are maid servants not slaves. He is seeing world with eyes of Islam. Islam allows sex Slaves . Hinduism doesn't.
 
SwiftPushkar
SwiftPushkar
@RohitSinghRathore - They always misguided people by intensionally misinterpreting our scriptures , like Dasi , Paricharika doesn't always mean female slaves ,or forced labour , Daas means the worker who is dedicated to someone , it's similar to modern bond in jobs.
 
Keshav Srinivasan
Keshav Srinivasan
@TheDestroyer By the way, Islam strangely only allows Muslims to enslave non-Muslims.
 
Rohit Singh Rathore
Rohit Singh Rathore
Yes @TheDestroyer Quora seems pseudo intellectual to me as well. Yes I know I've read an answer here on this. As @TheDestroyer has pointed he is looking Hinduism with eyes of Islam. @KeshavSrinivasan

@TheDestroyer I guess they treat their own people better than others.

@KeshavSrinivasan yeah. that's obvious. What else can we expect.

Yes Islam does @KeshavSrinivasan
 
The Destroyer
The Destroyer
@KeshavSrinivasan No. Not now at all. Many India Muslims go to Saudi Arabia and poor Muslims are treated badly. Pakistanis who feel they are Arab descendants, don't even get iota of respect in Arab Countries.
@RohitSinghRathore Quora is becoming worse now-a-days. Most of users who write answers there just know English and nothing else, except very few people like Balaji Vishwanath. It's like mini facebook, the girl with beautiful dp gets more views and upvotes, even when she writes nonsense.

Q: Was slavery allowed in Mahabarata times?

WallyI found this. Yudhishthira supporteth eighty-eight thousand Snataka Brahmanas leading domestic lives, giving unto each of them thirty slave-girls. Source: The Mahabharata, Book 2: Sabha Parva: Sisupala-badha Parva: Section XLVIII And thus the Emperor of Indra-prastha and his family were...

@TheDestroyer The songs in the movie are incomplete. So I prefer other videos.
Here is another joke. There is a quora answer which says, Draupadi shared bed only with Arjuna and it gets 17 upvotes. XD.

@RohitSinghRathore Quora is struggling to become an intellectual peer at the level of the stack network IMHO - there are no set standards on referencing answers with credible sources and translations, opinionated answers are not pruned away since there is no concept of systematic topical moderation just to name a couple of things that are sorely needed to change there. Honestly, H.SE & other SEs are serving as Oases for the intellectually parched in the polemical desert that is the Internet.

@KeshavSrinivasan translator translates it as Shiva wearing Scorpion earrings.
I think it is spelling mistake. I think it is Sarpa Kundalam instead of Sarva kundalam.

@TheDestroyer OK, but does either Sarpa or Sarva mean scorpion?
 
The Destroyer

@KeshavSrinivasan Verse says athāyāntaṃ mahākālaṃ trinetra sarvakuṇḍalam।
In devanagari, सर्व is sarva and सर्प means sarpa. So, i was saying, it could be typo mistake.
I think "प pa" is printed as "व va". Yes, Sarpa means snake.
