Uff, tried posting a comment earlier too. Lost my password.
Anyway, I envy you your collection of books on Kashmir. Do share what the Rajtaringi is like, once you have read it yourself. Have read so much about this book.
Happy Reading
And very Happy Shivratri, Vinayak.
Herat Mubarak to you too, Minakshi!
I posted this to get that 'neighbor's envy owner's pride' kind of feeling :). I will try to post stuff from these books sometime soon. I have already found lot of interesting stuff in them. I have read Rajtaringi in parts thanks to a copy that an uncle owns (he has the voluminous editions by M A Stein) and also thanks to google books, but when i saw the price tag of Rs 200 on this edition i just grabbed it.
Dear Vinayak,
How do i get hold of kashmiri Lyrics. Please suggest.
many thanks
I have uploaded the 1945 edition of the book here: check this

Dear Vinayak,
I have seen the kashmiri lyrics. You made my day. That was yesterday!!!
I have been looking for the lyrics and the translation of poetry by Swoch Kral. Did not have much success yet. Can you help. Thanks for your patience and support.
