Rare Buddhist Sanskrit book titles at BPS

Hello,

Perhaps it is of interest for members of this group to know that some rare
and difficult to obtain Buddhist Sanskrit books, a translation, and a
commemoration volume from the Jayaswal Institute at Patna are available at
the Buddhist Publication Society, Kandy.

*Books from K.P. Jayaswal Research Institute, Patna *

The following books were acquired with considerable trouble by the BPS from
the K. P. Jayaswal Institute. Only if one goes there in person, one can get
the books and even then there might be complications with mailing, etc. The
books can now be ordered from the Buddhist Publication Society, Kandy, Sri
Lanka (www.bps.lk). The amount of copies is limited (9 copies at most of
each title) and these books might be out of stock soon. It does not seem
likely that we can get these books again in the near future. Orders can be
placed by sending an email to the administrative secretary at bps@...
