Many thanks. If you have detailed comments they're probably best below the table as it's then easier to reply point-by-point than inside the table. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:48, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

BTW this is a GAN not (shudder) a GAR! The one is a pleasure; the other ... less so. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:44, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

My apologies! I'll be careful with my wording. I was just trying to make it align with the subheading "GA review" and title of the template I'm using. Chilicave (talk) 16:19, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay! Had prior commitments. I'll be wrapping this up shortly. Chilicave (talk)

Comments:

a. The sentence: It is said that sadhus disciplined themselves by choosing to meditate in the pose. The "it is said" is weakly attributed to the source. Also, "it is said" is a more generalized statement but only one source to supports the statement, making it relatively weak.

b. A 7th-century stone carving in Mahabalipuram appears to contain a figure standing on one leg, perhaps indicating that a pose similar to vrikshasana was in use at that time. sounds very interpretive with the words "perhaps indicating" and "may indicate." This is also not a historic claim, it was simply a statement made by Tias Little. I would include his name in the sentence.

Attributed.
