Dear Friends,

Might anyone have a copy of or access to this pdf? I've looked, but seem unable to find it in full.

Shakespear, J. 1820. "Observations Regarding Badheks and T'hegs J Shakespeare." Asiatick Researches, Vol. 13.

It is mentioned in the (footnote) of the
following article: Stevenson, J.A.R. "Some Account of the P'hansigárs, or Gang-robbers, and of the Shúdgarshids, or Tribe of Jugglers." The Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland.

Vol. 1, No. 2 (1834), pp. 280-284.

I'm wondering if this mention of the Vijñāneśvāraśāstra and "Gārōdi (juggler)" can be taken to mean Mitākṣarā's Vijñāneśvara. Or is there are another similarly named text? I don't notice the term in this file on GRETIL.

I wonder how it comes to mean juggler if in the Tulu/Kannada dictionary gives garoḍi the meaning of gymnasium (ಗರೋಡಿ garooḍi / ಗರಡಿ (garaḍi).

Thanks

Patrick

All the best,

パトリック　マッカートニー
