A research volume specializing in the naval voyage of the cholas has been published by ISEAS singapore. I have contributed a paper on Nagappattinam in this volume.
It states for sales outside India Does that mean there is an Indian Edition?

If I can stop one heart from breaking,I shall not live in vain; If I can ease one life the aching,Or cool one pain, Or help one fainting robin, Into his nest again, I shall not live in vain. Emily Dickinson
Dear Gokul Congrats. Is it possible for you to get a copy of Nagapattinam to Swarnadweepa and send along with a copy of your Paisasam? Kindly let me know the price and I will send to you. I will be happy if you can arrange for this on coming saturday and handover to Chandramouli(my adoted son)at Book Fair.
thanks for sharing the link gokul - Ebooks are available for purchase - and good think is there are free downloads - of the index, appendix ( incl famous inscriptions in this context)
Another good thing, is the priced ebook /pdfs - you can buy article wise. the free download index has short bios of the contributors incl our Gokul's
This book features a British painting of 18th century showing the full vihara compelx as it existed before the demolition (not just the towers but the whole complex)
Incidentally, I was fortunate enough to see all the items from a recent excavation in the Nagai vihara complex. I was not allowed to photograph - but holding rajaraja's cheppuk kaasu and a buddhist pottery in my palm was a peculiar experience.
