Dear all,
I have now been kindly provided with the editions not only of the
Jñānadīpikā on the Sabhā- and Bhīṣmaparvan, but also S. K. De's
edition of that on the Udyogaparvan. It turns out that I had after all
overlooked a collection on Archive; it seems that all the parts of
Devabodha's commentary that have been published, starting with the
Ādiparvan, can be found
here: https://archive.org/details/mahabharata_202303/Texts%20%26%20Translations/Devabodha%27s%20Jnanadipika/Commentary%20By%20Devabodha%20On%20Adiparva%20Mahabharata%20Dandekar%20R.N.%20%28Gyna%20Dipika%29%20BORI.pdf
Sorry, then, for the unnecessary post, but hopefully this can save
someone some trouble in the future.
Best wishes,
Jason

Dear all,
As many will know, Devabodha is apparently the earliest commentator
on the Mahābhārata whose work is (partially?) extant. A scan of R.
N. Dandekar's 1941 edition of his Jñānadīpikā on the Ādiparvan can
already be found on Internet
Archive: https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.279878/mode/2up. I
have also seen references to a 1947 edition of the commentary on the
Bhīṣmaparvan from S. K. Belvalkar, and a 1949 edition of the
commentary on the Sabhāparvan from R. D. Karmarkar, but these do not
seem to be readily available on the Internet. I would be very
grateful if someone could provide me with scans of these two
editions, or give me a hint as to how I might acquire one. I see
that, in relatively recent times, Basile Leclère has been able to
cite them in his article "New Light on Devabodha."
I would also be interested to know if anyone has been looking into
the manuscript material recently—if, for example, unpublished MSS of
his commentary for the other parvan-s are known.
Humbly yours,
Jason
