Indeed, he will be very much missed. André Padoux always claimed in his modesty that he was only a passionate dilettante who had accidentally come to be seen as a scholar, but he was of course much more than that - a great figure of French indology. My deepest condolences to his family.

This is very sad news indeed. More than a great, inventive scholar, André
was a magnificent human being. He will be very much missed.
