RE: Sanskrit Dictionaries

Dear Venerable and list members,

MW dictionary is also available in other platforms. Quite useful is the EBMP site: http://ebmp.org/ > Dictionaries (http://gandhari.org/a_dictionary.php) MW. The old PTS dictionary (PTSD) is also there and Edgerton's Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit Dictionary will be available in the future.
