Dear Patrick and Don,
Thank you for this great news and for the hard work that went into it.
It is another reason for all of us to be appreciative of all that you
and your team at UT have been doing to foster dharmaśāstra studies.

Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to inform you about a new repository of searchable
electronic texts of Dharmaśāstra commentaries and digests, hosted at
the University of Texas. During the pandemic, Patrick Olivelle has
been hard at work transcribing several important texts (thousands of
pages!), often comparing editions and providing text-critical notes.
Although we intend to make these open texts (CC BY-SA) available later
through a central repository such as GRETIL or SARIT, the proofreading
process for texts of this size is time-consuming. Rather than wait,
however, we wanted to share the initial transcriptions of six texts,
portions of which have been checked. They are offered to the
Indological community as Google docs which can be downloaded in
various formats. That format may be slower to load, but it makes
corrections by a group easy. In most cases, we have also been able to
provide links to PDFs of standard editions of the same texts for easy
cross-referencing. In any case, we hope the availability of these
e-texts will facilitate future research on Dharmaśāstra.
Please join me in a public expression of thanks to Patrick for his
typically tireless scholarly efforts to make these texts available.
All inquiries, suggestions, etc. should be sent to me, but users are
warned that the texts are offered as-is and that we are making
continuous updates to the files.
