Ancient Indian Sciences

[sudheer birodkar]

Dear Luis Gonzalez-Reimann,

This quote comes from the series "Sacred Books of the East" translated 
by Max Muller. The copy I had referred to was borrowed from the Asiatic 
Society's Library at Mumbai.

This sloka has also appeared in a few other publications. One of them is 
a publication by the Swaminarayan Mandir, 115-119, Brenfield Road, 
Neasden, London NW10 8JP, UK.

Regards

Sudheer
