Nagesha Bhatta's commentary on Shabda Kaustubha

[Sowmya Krishnapur]

Namaste,

I recently came across a mention of a commentary on the Shabdakaustubha of Bhattoji Dikshita by Nagesha Bhatta, titled Vishamapadi/Vishama vyakhyaa. Has this commentary been published? Can somebody throw more light on this?

Thanks in advance,

Hello Sowmya,

I have seen manuscripts of this commentary at the Bhandarkar Institute in Pune.  Professor James Benson at Oxford University was working on a critical edition of this commentary.  I have seen the initial portion of this critical edition which was presented at a conference at Oxford.
