Dear Christophe Vielle

Thanks for your detail splendid reply indeed. This helps me a lot.


One thing I observed is my bad memory Ramasharana tripathi doesn't mention Setuyatranuvarnana.

It is only Krsnamacariar in History of Sanskrirt Literature 1937 edition, where in the paragraph 347 and page number 302. mentions that Setuyatranuvarnana.
However, while in the foot note there is plural usage as "Manuscripts of these works are now in the author's home." 

This means At least up to 1935 (assuming he has finished the press copy at least two years back,) the work is not printed is sure. But he also updated the book in the year of printing also - in the form of Index of the book, which author himself informs. I could not find any update in the index also.

I will also check NCC etc as suggested by you. Also please inform updates if any.

Yours sincerely

KP

The Harvard exemplar (ex libris Ch. R. Lanman) of the 1st ed. of his Bhāratānuvarṇanam (Trivandrum: Printers' Jobbing Press, 1905) is available at:

The work is also briefly presented in
- "T. Gaṇapati Sastri: The Discover" by N.P. Unni (in Highways and Byways in Sanskrit Literature, Delhi: New Bharatya Book Corporation, 2012, vol. 1, pp. 120-125, with references to a notice by Winternitz 1934, and an obituary by V. Raghavan in the Journal of Kerala University Manuscripts Library vol. 2 [1949], both items I have not seen; cf. previously by N.P.  Unni, Kauṭalya Arthaśāstra (A study), Delhi: Baharatiya Vidya Prakashan, 1983, pp. 32-36 = "general introduction", ibid. introducing the vol. 1 of the 3 vol. reprint of the TSS ed. of the Arthaśāstra [with the commentary  of T. Gaṇapati Śāstrī], same publisher 1984 [and 1990]);
- "Life and works of T. Ganapati Sastri" by T. Devarajan (in Id. ed. Dramas of Bhasa: Seminar papers and centenary address, University of Kerala, 2005, pp. 9-12);
- S. Venkitasubramonia Iyer, Kerala Sanskrit Literature: A Bibliography, University of Kerala, 1976, pp. 30-31, 486 (with references to  KSC and KSSC);
- K. Kunjunni Raja (CKSL, 1958/1980, p. 257);
- Obituary by K. G. Sankar in The Indian Historical Quarterly 2, 1926, pp. 222-224
- Obituary by Sylvain Lévi in Journal Asiatique 208, pp. 374-381
(- nothing in the obituary by V.R.R. Dikshitar in A.B.O.R.I. 8/3, 1926-27, pp. 322-325

But nowhere is given a reference to an edition of the work.
However, I suspect that it was issued in some local/Kerala publishing house or journal. As it must have been the case of his poem Cakravartinīguṇamaṇimālā (in praise of Queen Victoria) and other original Sanskrit compositions. The NCC should be checked s.v.
At the least his manual of Indian culture entitled Bhāratānuvarṇanam, prefaced (in English) by Sylvain Lévi (who was in epistolary contact with him and at the request of whom the work was written) was issued in 1905 (2nd and 3rd ed. Trivandrum : Sudharma Print House, 1925 and 1940; re-issued by V. Subrahmanyan, Hyderabad: Sanskrit Academy, 2010, Sanskrit Academy Series (ed. T. Keshava Narayana) no. 83).

Best wishes,

Namaste

Dear all

I am searching for details of the work Setuyatranuvarnana by T Ganapaty Shastri.

In the book History of Sanskrit Literature by Krsnamacariar mentions that the MS of the work is in his home(even I tried contacting his grandchildren but no success), but in the book Kaumudikatha Kallolini the name of the work is quoted which leads to suspect that the work would have printed after 1930s.

Please if any one knows the details of the edition of the book let me know.

Yours sincerely
