Corrections and clarifications

Question 13 in the YW Quiz (Young World, August 11, 2006, page 4) was: "Who composed the Periya Thirumozhi, one of the key works of Vaishnavism?" The answer was: "Nammalwar (also known as Satagopan)". Readers point out that it should have been Tirumangai Azhwar. Nammazhwar has written "Tiruvaimozhi".

In the report "Don't interfere with Ten Sports' rights: court" (August 5, 2006), the figure of 48 billion [television] viewers in India was mentioned, which a reader felt was incorrect. Our Legal Correspondent clarifies that the figure was mentioned on the basis of a submission made by the Additional Solicitor General who appeared for Prasar Bharti and that it (48 billion viewers) is incorrect.

Clue 2 Down in The Hindu Crossword 8678 ("Variety" page, August 10, 2006) was: "Stopped to spill gin indeed (7)". The answer in The Hindu Crossword 8679 ("Variety" page, August 11, 2006) was "Deigned". As a reader points out, the clue should have been "Stooped to spill gin indeed" as the anagram of "gin" and "deed" becomes "Deigned", which means "Stooped".
