Deccan College Sanskrit dictionary

[Asko Parpola]

Last weekend in Kyoto, I heard from Vasant Shinde, Professor of  
Archaeology at the Deccan College, that the Sanskrit Dictionary has  
been granted substantial funds for digitization and that the work has  
already been started.

Best regards, Asko
