[INDOLOGY] Publication announcement

[Jan E.M. Houben]

Dear Madhav,

Congratulations on this fantastic, monumental achievement.
Your work really makes आधुनिकसंस्कृतवाड़्मयम् progress and prosper.
We moreover experience in your verses, whatever I have succeeded to read
till now from the abundant pre-publications, a profound originally and
beautifully expressed bhakti and emotional force, which brings them to the
level of Kāvya.
Hence, with some small variations to a well-known verse of the
Bhāgavata-Purāṇa, and with reference to your extraordinary poetic vision
(धीः) :
अहो वयं धन्यतमाः येषां नस् तादृशः सखा ।
धिया यस्य मतिर् जाता अस्माकं निश्चला हरौ ॥

All best,

Jan
