[Advaita-l] Nectar drops from Yogavāsiṣṭha - 2

[Raghav Kumar Dwivedula]

Namaste Kartik ji
I see in the Voice of Jagadguru Journal that the Saundarya Laharī is also
being serially translated.

Do we have the entire authentic translation with padaccheda of the
Saundarya Laharī by the same scholar(s)?

Or alternatively,  any other accurate padaccheda with explanation?

Thank you
Om
Raghav
