[INDOLOGY] four Sanskrit comic books

[Priya Nambrath]

Dear Tyler,

Thanks for sharing the Sanskrit versions of those ACK publications - it's
always a pleasure to browse through these! I just wanted to alert you to a
few more translated titles residing on Internet Archive. These are listed
below, and the last two are unfortunately missing their title page.

Kannagi: https://archive.org/details/kannagi_ack_sanskrit/mode/2up
Napoleon Bonaparte:
https://archive.org/details/ack-napoleon-bonaparte-sanskrit/mode/2up
Hakka and Bukka: https://archive.org/details/ack-hakka-bukka-skt
Kalidasa:
https://ia800308.us.archive.org/28/items/kaalidaasa-skt-ack/kaalidaasa-ack.pdf

I don't know if more such Sanskrit translations exist, but it will
certainly be nice to have them all together in one place.

Best wishes,
Priya
