==Note==
[[Sahasra|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 Saha'''s'''T'''r'''a. However, it is invariably misspelled as the latter. Notice how the same prefix is spelled when referring to the crown chakra: "[[Sahasrara (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 Devanagari letter "Sa" (स) merges with "ra" (र) and looks like "tra".
