SpiralArchitect Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Lauhpathgamini for train is a weird one alright.Shouldn't Agnirath literally mean Fire Chariot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgamer Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I don't think 'agnirath' is an official Hindi word and even if it is, it's not used anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard anyone call it an agnirath which as I said before literally sounds like Chariot of Fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpiralArchitect Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Well it sounds like something that can be used in religious epics like Mahabharat and Ramayan. While I think I've seen the word used somewhere, I've never seen it being used in real life and I've come in contact with a lot of people who use pure Hindi (my grandfather's older brother is actually a retired Hindi professor).

ghanashyam Posted September 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 This is all ornamental Hindi, a Hindi in core. By the way, AGNIRATH VIRAM STHAL is a railway station. Just enjoy. By the way, nobody speaks pure Hindi anyway, the English words are in every language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
