I don't know of this diety, as a female diety anyway, so would like to see some sources. Would the spelling be right, is that last consonant aspirated ('th' rather than 't')?. Also see discussion on Nirrta. Imc 21:22, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

The Devanagari gives a long i as the last vowel, which is normal for a woman’s name, so I corrected it in the IAST transliteration: ı̄.
But further down, at "Pronunciation", the word is stated specifically to have three short syllables, which can’t be right. I don’t know where that came from, but I suggest removing that paragraph, if there’s no objections, that is...-- Geke ( talk) 21:37, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

The Dikpala's gender is also disputed; the goddess is said to be regent of south-western direction also.
The Dikpala is generally portrayed male in temple sculpture, but is also described female in texts, linking her to the Vedic goddess. The Dikpala is variously referred to Rakshasa, Daitya, Nairriti, Nairrita also. IMO, we should have 1 article on various meanings of Nirrti, since there is ambiguity and the split - with goddess meaning the Vedic goddess and male meaning is Dikpala - is not justified. -- Redtigerxyz Talk 12:09, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
