[INDOLOGY] Second Apsidal Temple Inscription F at Nagarjunikonda

[Dániel Balogh]

Dear Palaniappan,
the inscription has been edited digitally for the EIAD project by Arlo
Griffiths and Vincent Tournier. The EIAD texts have been ingested into the
DHARMA corpus, but not re-edited for DHARMA. The digital edition is
available here: https://dharmalekha.info/texts/INSEIAD00020
However, looking at the text and the critical apparatus, it seems that the
digital edition is primarily an electronic version of Vogel's original
printed edition, i.e. the text has probably not been re-edited and compared
with the original or a good estampage. Arlo or Vincent may be able to say
more, but I'm afraid there's nothing at the moment other than Vogel's
original comment.
Best wishes,
Daniel
