EJVS 6-2

[Narahari Achar]

Dear interested readers of EJVS:
The editors of EJVS have just announced the release of the latest issue of EJVS
which contains two of my papers. Unfortunately,  the second paper on nakSatras
in Rgveda has some tables which are not convenient to read because of some
formatting problems.  I have reproduced below the tables after deleting all
spaces between entries hoping to make the tables more readable. I have requested
the editors to issue a correction for the same tables. Thanks for your patience.
With best wishes for the new, millenium, year,....Narahari Achar
(P. S . I am temporarily off the mailing from the list and my e-mail. I will be
back on by the end of the month.)
