Dear Professor Olivelle, At long last I am getting around to finishing a paper on the Bṛhadāraṇyaka. I can't tell you how many times a week I bless you and thank you for the enormous work you have done in translating, introducing and annotating the early Upaniṣads. There are many things one couldn't even begin to do with several major texts if you hadn't laid the foundations with your painstaking scholarship.
As for MLBD and MRML, they have freely printed, published, cut and pasted Indological works originally available in non-Indian editions for so long that I don't think anyone notices, cares or minds any more, not even the authors or whoever the original holders of copyright. If it didn't incense our videshi colleagues so much, I guess it could be argued that it is merely the age-old practice of dispensing with attribution, continued through modern means! Warm regards, Ananya. On Fri, Apr 21, 2023 at 8:38 PM Patrick Olivelle via INDOLOGY < [email protected]> wrote: > Well, it is complicated.
