[INDOLOGY] Ashok Aklujkar passed away

[Harry Falk]

A great and unforgettable friend and Sanskritist has gone home. We met in
the late 70s in Pune, later in Austin, Potsdam, and other places. His love
for poetry and language hid the fact that he himself was a devoted and
gifted poet. May those whom he revered most receive him in their company,
Ghalib, for instance, whose āpne vādā stanza he had rendered as
    svapne hi saṃmileveti tvayā āsit pratiśrutam,
    nikhilaṃ jīvanaṃ yāvat suptaṃ tvatpratipālane.
