Re: [INDOLOGY] PDF of Bhandarkar Report 1897/verse in praise of Śivasvāmin

[Peter Mukunda Pasedach]

Dear all,

one addition: I actually now realized that the link in my initial mail
was to Biswas 0854, thus a different book, and that this one is
numbered by Biswas as 0856, indeed not yet featured on
http://catalogues.indology.info/ .

Best,

Peter
