Krushna

 A

Good question — Krushna and Krishna refer to the same figure, but the spelling difference comes from variations in pronunciation and transliteration from Sanskrit or regional Indian languages into English.

Here’s a breakdown:

• Krishna (कृष्ण) — This is the standard Sanskrit spelling and the most common English transliteration. It means “dark,” “black,” or “all-attractive.”
• Krushna / Krushn / Kṛṣṇa — These are regional or phonetic variants. For example, in Marathi, Odia, and Gujarati pronunciation, the “ṛ” sound (the vocalic ‘r’ in Sanskrit) is often rendered as “ru,” so “Krushna” sounds closer to how people actually say it in those languages.

✅ In essence:

They both refer to Lord Krishna, the Hindu deity — the name just changes slightly depending on language and pronunciation.

Would you like me to show how “Krishna” is pronounced in Sanskrit versus in Hindi or Marathi?
