[INDOLOGY] Devabodha's Jñānadīpikā on the Sabhā- and Bhīṣmaparvan

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

Dear all,

As many will know, Devabodha is apparently the earliest commentator on  
the Mahābhārata whose work is (partially?) extant. A scan of R. N.  
Dandekar's 1941 edition of his Jñānadīpikā on the Ādiparvan can  
already be found on Internet  
Archive: https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.279878/mode/2up. I have  
also seen references to a 1947 edition of the commentary on the  
Bhīṣmaparvan from S. K. Belvalkar, and a 1949 edition of the  
commentary on the Sabhāparvan from R. D. Karmarkar, but these do not  
seem to be readily available on the Internet. I would be very grateful  
if someone could provide me with scans of these two editions, or give  
me a hint as to how I might acquire one. I see that, in relatively  
recent times, Basile Leclère has been able to cite them in his article  
"New Light on Devabodha."

I would also be interested to know if anyone has been looking into the  
manuscript material recently—if, for example, unpublished MSS of his  
commentary for the other parvan-s are known.

Humbly yours,
Jason
