Gaja Sastra

[G.J. Meulenbeld]

Dear Colleague,

A survey of he literature on gaja'saastra up to about CE 2000 can be found 
in my 'A history of Indian medical literature', vol. IIA, chapter 6: Authors 
and works on veterinary medicine, p.557--579.
I hope this may be useful to your anthropology colleague.

Jan Meulenbeld
