Dear Professor Pinault, cher Georges-Jean,

There was a string on mirrors on INDOLOGY a few months ago. You can search the archive to find the relevant messages.

Dear All,   Thanks for these informations and best wishes for 2018.  I would be grateful if anyone belonging to this list can recommend me monographs or reference papers about the mirror, preferably in Classical India, under all aspects; literature, art, craft, mythology, etc.

Dear all,

This announcement reminds me of an expression in the Sarvadarśanasaṃgraha that I have difficulty understanding. On p. 418 of Abhyankar's edition (line 16.298) it mentions "showing a cloth with the imprint of the son's foot" (putrapadāṅkitapaṭapradarśanavat) in the context of announcing the birth of a son. Does this refer to a known custom in India?
