[INDOLOGY] A question regarding typography

[Herman Tull]

Once again, I stand in awe of the erudition of this community and its
largesse in sharing it. I knew of Naik's volumes, but had little hope of
ever actually seeing copies of them. Thanks to Lubomir's guidance, I look
forward to delving into them alson with the other valuable works in this
repository.

Thank you again.

with regards,

Herman
