[INDOLOGY] 4th Oxford Sanskrit Play – मृच्छकटिकम्

[Riccardo Paccagnella]

Dear both,

As Tim correctly pointed out, we will try to make a recording of the play and upload it on YouTube.

We thought it might be good learning material for Sanskrit and Prakrit.

I am very happy to have received such warm feedback!

Best wishes,
Riccardo

Dear Riccardo,

     This is wonderful. I hope a video recording of your play will be available for those of us who are unable to physically attend.
