[INDOLOGY] Orientation of text in sanskrit printed book

[rrocher]

That was the format of all the early editions of Sanskrit texts 
published by the Sanskrit Press initiated in Calcutta in 1806 under the 
aegis of H.T. Colebrooke and managed by his personal librarian Bābūrāma. 
They have been described as as valuable as incunables.
