What is the Sanskrit or Marathi name for star Sirius? and for big dipper?
Sanskrit for Sirius is Mrgavyadha ("deer hunter") or Lubdhaka ("hunter").





For the Big Dipper (which is only part of the constellation Ursa Major), the origin of the name is a mistake founded on approximate sounds. "Rakh" is Sanskrit for "to be bright" the Greeks corrupted this to the word "arktos" which means bear.
