This article incorrectly states that the Indian lunar lander is "located about 70 degrees from the moon's south pole." NO, it is 70 degrees from the Moon's equator, which is 20 degrees from its south pole.

Yes, the landing site is 20° from the South Pole. It is off to the right of the pole, almost on the edge as we see it.

Here is a video of the landing. It went very slow. Hovered for half a minute.
There are two announcers, a man in Hindi and a woman in English. Hindi subtitles. Very difficult language to understand. Clipped, very fast. I had a Hindi friend in a curb store here. Taught me "Thank you", "dhanyavad".

In a recent Article on Space.com about connection between Chandrayaan-3 and Moon and Sanskrit Language
You forgot to mention that Sanskrit is the oldest language and therefore was a spoken language only, for the first 2 millennia.
Its derivatives include Indo-European languages such as Latin, German, Russian, English, etc.
Thanks.
