Etymology

"...is an alternate name for the Nāga, a non-Indo-Iranian people of ancient India."

Literally Taksha or Tokkho or Tokkhok means snake. Another word for snake is Naga or Nag. Thus the name would literally mean Snake Rock or Naga Rock supporting the above statement.

However, there may be other translations of taksha or tokkho: imagination; creativity; skill; knowledge; etc. Dokkho or daksha literally means skilled. onushilon.org takho--Novo24 (talk) 04:43, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Why Taxila?

The city was known by the name of Takshashila, Taxila is a Greek pronunciation(?), and was probably used by Greek writers who never visited India. Shouldn't the article bear its actual name? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ronitd (talk • contribs) 11:11, 12 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

We use the common name in English for articles. You'll need to show that the common English name (in scholarly sources) is Takshashila to make the change. --regentspark (comment) 14:36, 12 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"After 5 AD, the Muslim ruler Muhamad Tuglak tried to destroy it."

This sentence is out of context. Muhammad bin Tughluq was the Sultan of Delhi from 1325 to 1351. What is he doing in a section titled: "Indo-Greek"? אביהו (talk) 08:43, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
