Talk:Tirthankara

All books and references I've read have the Sanskrit as "Ford maker" not "Teaching God" and in fact, the Tirthankara are not Gods, but transcended humans. The reference to them as "Gods" at all is counter to the Jain religion and a misrepresentation. I will be editing to change this across Wikipedia as I see someone has systematically changed it in several places unless there is good evidence why this should not be. In addition to citing legitimate references, I'll consult with my local Jain community as well before making any edits. https://www.britannica.com/topic/Tirthankara^[1] --Shanekenyon (talk) 00:14, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
