I'd greatly appreciate it if someone were to let me know what the
transliteration into Roman script is of the original Sanskrit title of
"Story the Sixth" in vetAlapaJcaviMzati? "kathASaSTha"?
"kathASASTha"? "kathASaSThama"? Something else? (I'd prefer that the
Harvard-Kyoto system be used for the transliteration, but this isn't
essential.)

Thanks in advance,
Jormungandr

What is with these interminable requests for transliterations and
pronunciations? Would it not be far simpler simply to _learn_ to
romanize or pronounce Sanskrit, instead of approaching every single
word as if it had just sprung from the navel of Visnu as some totally
new and inexplicable object?
