Yagnavalkya worshipping Saraawati

• ... that Maitreyi, who saw how Yagnavalkya (pictured) was praised at a conference, wanted to be his disciple, to live as his spiritual partner and become proficient in the knowledge of Brahman?

• ALT1:... that Maitreyi was highly revered as one of the few women scholars of the Vedic period (c. 1750 – 500 BCE) able to discuss the highest spiritual truths of life?

• Comment: This is my last article for the Women's History Month. Another famous woman philosopher of the Vedic period, Maitreyi's aunt Gargi Vachaknavi's article will appear on main space soon,

5x expanded by Nvvchar (talk). Self nominated at 11:30, 26 March 2015 (UTC).

• 16px The article is sufficiently long as it was expanded by more than five times from the version dated 29 January 2015 (685 characters) to 5,505 characters on 26 March 2015. Both the original and ALT1 hooks are referenced, and are of suitable length. I prefer ALT1 as the original hook is not very clear to readers who have never heard of Yagnavalkya or the "knowledge of Brahman". I have reworded the hooks slightly, particularly ALT1 since I'm sure there were as many women during the Vedic period as there are now! — SMUconlaw (talk) 16:04, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
