This is an interesting paper by David Pingree with lot of original source material. the subject is the explosion of Sanskrit knowledge Materials in the two centuries prior to the arrival of the british. I was not aware that it was a period of noteworthy intellectual ferment. The last contribution to this explosion was in 1750 ce.Coincidentally, the date is in congruence with the start of British domination in India
