Dear list members,
In the discussions in June of last year about about the ISO-15919
transliteration standard, I asked if anyone knew of any sanskrit texts
transliterated with the ISO-15919 standard and didn't receive any replies.
I also thought that both TITUS and Madhav Deshpande used that standard,
but TITUS uses m underdot for anusvara and differs from ISO-15919, and
Madhav said his transliteration scheme in his textbook Saṁskṛtasubodhinī
was created without reference to that standard. So I had thought that there
were no actual sanskrit etexts that used the ISO-15919 standard.
But I've just found that there are several substantial sanskrit etexts
online that use the ISO-15919 standard. .John Smith's revisions of Munio
Tokunaga's Mahabharata and Ramayana use ISO-15919 standard (and state so)
.
See the online etexts on his website: https://bombay.indology.info/
