==Spelling confusion==<br />
Saha'''sr'''a<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.shabdkosh.com/sa/translate/sahasra/sahasra-meaning-in-Sanskrit-English|title=Sahasra}}</ref> is the correct prefix that means "a thousand", not Sahas'''T'''ra. However, it is invariably misspelled as sahas'''T'''radhara (even on traffic signs in Dehradun). Notice how the same prefix is spelled when referring to the crown chakra: "Sahasrara Chakra" or when it occurs in family names (example: Sahasrabuddhe<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.vinaysahasrabuddhe.in/|title=Sahasrabuddhe}}</ref>) ''without'' a T. Also see Sahasralinga. The confusion arises because the Hindi letter "Sa" (स) merges with "ra" (र) and looks like "tra" स्र.<br />
