Dear James,

As per your request attached is the   Śrībhāṣya of Rāmānuja etext I sent Ram-Prasad.  It is from Sanskrit Wikisource

https://sa.wikisource.org/wiki/%E0%A4%B6%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%AD%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B7%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%AE%E0%A5%8D

I can't attest to its accuracy but it appears to have errors.  For example right at the start it has:

1.1.1   ataśśabdo vṛttasya hetubhāve |

which according to the Melkote critical edition should be: atrāyam atha-śabda ānantarye bhavati| ataśśabdo vṛttasya hetubhāve |

The devanagari attachment is from Sanskrit Wikisource. The transliteration is my conversion.

Dear Ram-Prasad,

Thank you very much. On the occasions I wanted to see Rāmānuja's text (the whole of which I do not own), I was able to find only partial images of it online. I would much appreciate your sending me a digital version.

With all best wishes, Jim Fitzgerald

I can’t see any reason why the versions can’t be put on the list, if they can be sent to individuals requesting the text through the list. But just to be safe, I’ll leave it to those who originally sent those versions to post them on the list. I’m assuming it’d be fine for me to send personally to you, James, if you want them.

Best,

Ram

Dear colleagues,

Is there any reason that prevents sharing the copies of this text with the whole list?

Best, Jim Fitzgerald
