  Dear all,

I have now been kindly provided with the editions not only of the  
Jñānadīpikā on the Sabhā- and Bhīṣmaparvan, but also S. K. De's  
edition of that on the Udyogaparvan. It turns out that I had after all  
overlooked a collection on Archive; it seems that all the parts of  
Devabodha's commentary that have been published, starting with the  
Ādiparvan, can be found  
here: https://archive.org/details/mahabharata_202303/Texts%20%26%20Translations/Devabodha%27s%20Jnanadipika/Commentary%20By%20Devabodha%20On%20Adiparva%20Mahabharata%20Dandekar%20R.N.%20%28Gyna%20Dipika%29%20BORI.pdf

Sorry, then, for the unnecessary post, but hopefully this can save  
someone some trouble in the future.

Best wishes,
Jason
