Jayakhya Samhita.

dear friend,

Nice that you came out with the chapter and verse of the reference sought by
the scholar Sri Martin Gansten.

Can either of you please let me know as to where I can procure a copy of the
jayAkhya-samhitA (Sanskrit original) ?

I have been looking for it ever since my discovery of the iconography of the
'vaikuNTha-chatur-mUrti' (which was popular in the Gupta period). The most
beautiful iconic rendition (in metal, a rarity in northern India) of this
vaikuNTha is worshipped in the Hari-rAj mandir at the Chamba valley, State
of Himachal Pradesh, India.   This had been stolen and spirited away from
the temple some time in 1971 and was about to be smuggled out of the (then)
Bombay airport, when it was discovered and confiscated by the Indian
officials.   It was put up on display for a while in the office of the
Archaeological Survey of India, next to the Vigyan Bhavan, New Delhi, before
being returned to the Chamba valley temple.

Best wishes from
T.S. Sundara Rajan
at Srirangam.
