Both the concepts in Hinduism and Buddhism are different, only the thing is that they have common names. A Vidyadhara in Hinduism is a class of deities or mythincal creatures, but in Buddhism, it is the person who have the great knowledge of Mantras and other esoteric knowledge. The title in pali would be quiet beneficial for the Buddhist article. Is it a good idea?JaMongKut (talk) 03:50, 18 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
