Re: [INDOLOGY] Sanskrit food glossary (and mudrā)

[Dominik Wujastyk]

I was going to mention Achaya's excellent food *Dictionary*, but Edeltraud
beat me to it.  Achaya also wrote *Indian Food: A Historical Companion*
(Oxford University Press, 1994), which has indexes.

Meulenbeld's HIML deals with Pākaśāstra literature in volume IIB and
includes many, many terms and translations.

Best,
Dominik
