[INDOLOGY] A new Sanskrit Reader

[Dagmar Wujastyk]

Dear Antonia,

Inevitably, we all will recommend you add texts belonging to our field of
research.... I personally would like to see some excerpts from medical and
alchemical literature included. And, as a crowd pleaser, perhaps some haṭha
yoga texts?

Very best,
Dagmar
