[INDOLOGY] Śrīraṅgamāhātmya ed. Bhattacharya 2012

[jason.cannon-silber at studium.uni-hamburg.de]

Dear all,

I am currently proofreading manuscript catalogue entries for the Texts  
Surrounding Texts project, and one MS that I am working on contains a  
fragment of which part is identified as being from the 43rd chapter of  
the Śrīraṅgamāhātmya (the rest being presumably from the 44th). The  
EFEO brought out a critical edition and translation of a text under  
this name just last year, but in a personal communication from one of  
the editors, I gather that this text exists in two recensions, one of  
11 chapters and one of 108. The EFEO edition is apparently of the  
11-chapter recension, According to the editor, the 108-chapter version  
has been edited by T. K. Sriman Bhattacharya and published in  
Srirangam in 2012.

It would be very helpful to consult this edition, as the MS is uninked  
and quite hard for a novice reader of Grantha like myself to make out.  
And besides, it would be nice to see if what is in the MS matches the  
published text, or if it perhaps represents still another version. I  
seem to find no trace of this edition anywhere online, however.  
Therefore, I leave it to the amazing powers and generosity of this  
list to point me in a direction where I might find a digital copy.

Best wishes,
Jason
