Rahul

Rahul, a popular male name in India, has a variety of meanings. The earliest meaning found in the Upanishads is "conqueror of all miseries."[1] Later use of the word is attributed to the Lord Buddha, who named his son Rahula as he felt that family ties could be an obstacle in the path to renunciation and nirvana. Lord Buddha uttered Rahul when he first saw his son and gave a new meaning "relationship" and "bondage" to this name.[2] Rahul means Moon, Able/efficient in Sanskrit and Pali. Rahul also means "Traveler" in Arabic.

gollark: Although I don't think I'd want to encourage an increase in lawyers.
gollark: If you could somehow make medicine/law available as undergraduate things that... might help?
gollark: The UK does those, I think, and seems to be doing fine lawyer and doctor-wise.
gollark: A convincing explanation I read of the everyone-has-to-go-to-college thing is that college degrees work as a signal to employers that you have some basic competence at listening independently, doing things for delayed gain later, sort of thing, more than providing any massively work-relevant skills, and it apparently got easier/more popular to get a degree over time, so the *lack* of one works as a signal that you *lack* those basic skills.
gollark: No idea.
