Dear Prof. Vielle,
Thank you for finding this e-text. Unfortunately (but
interestingly), I have not found any part of it that is a close match
for what is in the MS, though they share several formulae
(e.g. /sarvaṃ vedaśubhāśubham, vidhir eṣa[ḥ] pravarttakaḥ,
vedavedyaḥ/ [MS: /vedavidyaḥ/] /paraḥ pumān/). There is also a tag
indicating Vyāsa as the speaker at the beginning of the 44th chapter
in this version and in the MS I am working with, but the following
contents appear to differ substantially.
Prof. Marzenna Czerniak-Drożdżowicz, one of the editors of the
11-chapter version, has kindly offered to check her copy of
Bhattacharya's edition to see if it matches what is in this e-text or
in my MS once she gets back from holiday. So I may just have to wait
for further clarification on the relationship between this fragment
and the published versions of the text.
Humbly yours,
Jason

I have been given permission (and encouragement) to share the
catalogue description as it stands, so here is a link, in case it
might be of interest:
https://tst-project.github.io/mss/Cod_Palmbl_III_111.xml?facs=1. As
you can see, the transcription of the incipit and explicit of the
final fragment (from the Śrīraṅgamāhātmya) is still in a pretty rough
state. Any help or hints would be warmly welcomed.
Best wishes,
Jason

Dear all,
I am currently proofreading manuscript catalogue entries for the
Texts Surrounding Texts project, and one MS that I am working on
contains a fragment of which part is identified as being from the
43rd chapter of the Śrīraṅgamāhātmya (the rest being presumably from
the 44th). The EFEO brought out a critical edition and translation of
a text under this name just last year, but in a personal
communication from one of the editors, I gather that this text exists
in two recensions, one of 11 chapters and one of 108. The EFEO
edition is apparently of the 11-chapter recension, According to the
editor, the 108-chapter version has been edited by T. K. Sriman
Bhattacharya and published in Srirangam in 2012.
It would be very helpful to consult this edition, as the MS is
uninked and quite hard for a novice reader of Grantha like myself to
make out. And besides, it would be nice to see if what is in the MS
matches the published text, or if it perhaps represents still another
version. I seem to find no trace of this edition anywhere online,
however. Therefore, I leave it to the amazing powers and generosity
of this list to point me in a direction where I might find a digital
copy.
Best wishes,
Jason
