[INDOLOGY] Looking for the Sinhalese poem DEVADŪTE

[Lubomír Ondračka]

Dear Heiner,

almost all of these old Indian books held by the British Museum are now 
in the British Library. Contact the Asian & African Studies Reference 
Team, they are very helpful.

Once they identify the book in their collection, it is easy to order a 
scan of it.

Best,
Lubomir
