[INDOLOGY] Saturn

[Rolf Heinrich Koch]

senasurā (śani or ṣani > sena [a of ṣani changes to e if a syllable with 
i follows] + surā = senasurā. It is a very common word which every 
Sinhalese refers to by any problem. Before they hang out such a flag, 
the astrologer studies their birthday pass (which includes the horoscope 
of the birthday) and advices him, that senasurā is probably the reason 
for his problem. All the flags I earlier wrote about start with his name 
(senasurā). I even found two shrines dedicated to senasura: an old 
bearded man, completely in blue colour and the crow at his side).
