Works Edited by Gharpure JR

[R. Śivarāmakṛṣṇa śarmā]

Namaste All,

If any one has information or scanned copies of (Dharma Shastra) works
edited by Jagannath Raghunath Gharpure, please do share.

For starters, Gharpure JR Gharpure, edited many Dharmashastra Nibandha
Granthas, Digests on Dharmashastra so to say; under the heading "Hindu
Law texts" or something similar. These books were mostly printed at
the Poona Law (Journal/College ?) Press.

Works that I atleast know are as follows
Smriti Muktaphalam of Sri Vaidyanatha Dikshita (in 5 vols)
Smritichandrika of Devanna Bhatta (Sanskrit text along with English
Translation to some parts?)
Bhagavanta Bhaskara of Nilakantha (Chaturdhara?).

To the best of my knowledge these editions represent finely edited
specimens of the works in Devanagari. The Smriti Muktaphalam is
available on the Digital Library of India and is probably the only
extant edition (in Devanagari) other than the finely edited version in
Grantha script along with a Tamil translation by Vidwan BrahmaSri
Srinavasa Shastri of Kumbhaghonam, published in the early 20th
Century.

If anyone has more information on the edited / compiled works of J. R.
Gharpure, sharing them would be indeed useful.

Thank you.

Bombay High Court in the early 20th century, a founding member of the
Indian Law Society (1924) and the first principal of the famous Law
College, Poona. He was also associated with the Bhandarkar Oriental
