Hey,

I was wondering if anybody could help me with the sanskrit translation of "indestructible"
It is what my name means and I would like to have it as a tattoo. Thanks!
Hope to hear from you soon!

Hi, dopeboy!

I seem to have had some reasonably good success using the following site. Sanskrit Dictionary for Spoken Sanskrit (http://www.spokensanskrit.de/) I do wish that we had a designated expert here in translating words, names and phrases into Sanskrit. However, every once in awhile, there are a couple of people that show up who really know their stuff about translating written names, words and sentences from other languages into the written Sanskrit. Hopefully, someone like that will come along and notice your post.

You may have to try the site above in the different ways that are available and maybe also try some things that are suggested on it in order for you to be successful.

There is also another site that you could try. It would be the following one. Free Online Translations to Sanskrit, Hindi & Marathi for Tattoos, Names & Sentences (http://freetranslationblog.blogspot.com/)

I think that the guy that runs it is the same one that comes around here, now and then, to answer very finely concerning questions like the one that you have.

It's my understanding, that there is also a way to contact people on either site to get help.

Since you're wanting this information for something that's going to be placed permanently on your body, then I would suggest that you get more than one person's opinion as far as a translation is concerned in order to be sure that the translation is correct.

Thanks!

Please understand this :

Your name remains the same, let the language be any.
It is not translated But transliterated i.e. written using the letters from the other language phonetically i.e. as per the pronunciation.

Let us see an example: "Devendra" is my friend. In Sanskrit, his name means "Kind of Gods". When I want to call him, I simply say, "Hi Devendra!" & NOT as "Hi King of Gods!". It should be clear now.

So please give us the pronunciation i.e. the way you actually say the name & it will be done.
