Subject: Seeking Devanagari-Sanskrit research assistant

Dear Indology,

I'm seeking a research assistant to hire to help find texts written in Devanagari-Sanskrit. I'm hoping you can direct me to someone who may be willing to help, or provide a suggestion of how I might find someone. 

These are the texts:
1. Dharmacakra Pravartana Sūtra, Saṃyukta Āgama edition
2. Chandogya-Upanisad, chapter 7.26.2

In addition to these, I'm looking for texts that are examples of non-Buddhist antecedents to the Buddhist concepts of Kleśā and The Four Noble Truths.

This research would be paid for, and informs the creation of a piece of artwork in respect to these topics.

Finding these texts has been a considerable struggle for me over the past many months, and any leads you can provide would be greatly appreciated. 

Best regards,
Mike LaVigne
