Thank you Madhav for this.  I don't have access to a major library for the next few months so if you could find and send me this article it would be greatly appreciated.

And thank you Palaniappan for the prakrit information.

Hello Harry,

     Here is the bibliographic reference to one of my old articles:

1993. "Inscriptional Evidence for Honorific Śrī in Indo-Aryan."  In Perspectives in Indian Aesthetics and Literature, Essays in Honour of the Late Prof. Dr. G. K. Bhat, edited by Saroj Deshpande and Maneesha Dikshit.  Pp. 254-278.  Pune, India: Dastane Ramchandra & Co.    

    I don't have a ready pdf of this publication, but if you don't have access to this  book, I can hunt for my copy of it.

Can any list members give me the bibliographic information of any indological articles on the history and use of "śrī" as a honorific or title of respect. Or better yet send me a pdf of any such articles.

Many thanks,
Harry Spier
