Dear colleagues, Another question: I've seen one reference (below) to something called a "candrikā" in Sanskrit that was apparently used as a kind of cover for a written palm-leaf. It has entered several dictionaries in this sense (Kannada candrike, Telugu candrika, Tamil cantirakam). Does anyone have any further references for this? Or some references for the practice of rolling up written palm leaves and sealing them, which I suspect is what's going on here?
