[INDOLOGY] Swami Veda

[David and Nancy Reigle]

Thanks, Dominik, for letting us know. You mentioned that he kindly shared a
number of publications with you over the internet very recently. Do you
know if he ever completed books 3 and 4 of his excellent translation of the
Yogasūtra? Some years ago I communicated with him about these, which at
that time he had not done.

Best regards,
