Greetings,
     The above foundation was founded by Prof. Karuṇesh Shukla who also
published a handlist/catalogue of its manuscript collection. (I attach a
partial scan of the catalogue --all that I have.)

    The collection (of about 1k mss) was housed in Andhiari Bagh when I
visited in 2022. After Prof. Shukla passed a couple years back it was moved
--perhaps to Gorakhpur University, but I have no confirmation of this.
Anyone info on what happened to the collection would be most welcome.

    I should add that the collection does not contain many Buddhist texts,
despite the name of the foundation. Its strongest area, as I recall, was
grammar.

Best wishes,
Tim Cahill
