Dear Pranav,

Thanks for sharing the information about this Ms. Earlier I came across a printed version of this commentary here. But given the popularity of the Aṣṭāvakra Gītā, this commentary did not come across as pedagogically robust. It is hard for me to believe that this text did not attract the attention of erudite Sanskrit commentators in pre-modern South Asia. I will keep my eyes open. Thanks. Regards.

Dear Mrinal, 

 

Apropos to your request for Sanskrit commentaries on Aṣṭāvakra Gītā, I wonder if Viśveśvara’s commentary in Ms. Coll. 390 will be useful. I am copying the link below:

Dear list members,
Creepy things are still happening from Academia.edu on my gmail account.
A whle ago I had noticed too many postings from Academia.edu related to the
topics of email conversations I had been having so I cancelled it, but I
then re-instated it.

These conincidences keep happening.

I just received the latest posting by Mrinal Kaul to the indology list,  a
half hour later Academia.edu sent me "PDF by Mrinal Kaul,  Review: The
??varapratyabhij??k?rik? of Utpaladeva".
