[INDOLOGY] Resource Library for Dharmaśāstra Studies

[Dominik Wujastyk]

Dear Don and Patrick,

This is an enormous gift to our scholarly community.  Thank you to you both
and to Amy and Nikola and anyone else who worked on this project.  My mind
is boggled by the amount of work that has gone into this.  It is truly
astonishing

Sincerely,
Dominik
