[INDOLOGY] Śabdakalpadrumaḥ and Vācaspatyam

[Charles Li]

Hello,

1886 is the posthumous Devanagari print: 
https://archive.org/details/ShabdaKalpadrumaComplete (this is the 1967 
reprint of the 1886 edition)

It's worth comparing with the Bengali script version, from Śaka 1743 
(not quite 1819): https://www.digitale-sammlungen.de/en/view/bsb10219712

 From looking at a couple of passages, the Devanagari print has a number 
of typos as well as a number of variant readings that are possibly 
deliberate emendations.

Best,

Charles
