Scholarly reference for Dhyāna
ध्यान
The name in its original Devanagari form. ध्यान → Dhyāna. Sanskrit Dhyāna is written in Devanagari as ध्यान · IAST transliteration maps each Devanagari vowel and consonant to a Latin equivalent · Macrons mark long vowels (ā, ī, ū); dots beneath consonants mark retroflex articulation (ṭ, ḍ, ṇ, ṣ)
DHYANA
Stripped of its identity, the name was reduced to plain Latin letters. The original orthography — stress, length, breathing — was erased by systems that only understand A-Z.
Dhyāna
