suhAsa wish list

I suggest that priority be given to books that can be converted to dictionaries as their impact is greater. Here is a list of a few books. I have shared some of these books here. I will share the others upon request.

Primary Texts

  1. सुभाषितावलिः (Subhashita work)
  2. शार्ङ्गधरपद्धतिः (Subhashita work. If सुभाषितावलिः+शार्ङ्गधरपद्धतिः are done, all the big five Subhashita works will be made available)
  3. अन्योक्तिमुक्तावलिः of हंसराजगणिः (very comprehensive anyokti collection)
  4. कुवलयानन्द
  5. काव्यादर्श + रत्नश्री commentary (oldest AFAIK and best)
  6. पूर्णसरस्वती’s commentaries on मालतीमाधव and मेघदूत (पूर्णसरस्वती is an incredibly insightful commentator. None other like him. All his commentaries are worth typing up.)
