Dear colleagues,

Are you likely to be travelling indologically in Orissa in the near or middle future? 

I ask because I have information about two palm-leaf manuscripts of the Carakasaṃhitā that I would like to study.  My attempts to get access to these, through third parties, have so far drawn a blank.

The information about these MSS comes from the online NAMAMI database, which records the results of their field surveys done during the last five years or so:

1. in the collection of Dushmanta Mohanty (600 folios), Macchalo Ghasipura, Keonjhar, Orissa 758043. Tel. 261238.  (Keonjhar = Kendujhar)
   
2. in the collection of Harihar Hota (102 folios), Tilotamadelpur, Sasan, Dharamkote, Ganjam, Orissa 761107. (Dharamkote presumably = Dharakote)

If anyone might be able to help with actually visiting these remote places, I'd be very glad to discuss matters.  I have some more information about these MSS and possible local contacts.

Best,
Dominik Wujastyk
