“Martin was kind enough to give me an advanced peek at his new mirror of the Digital Library of India, as a beta tester. The quietness and brevity of his announcement belie the magnitude of this achievement. It's a simply wonderful resource to have available, and it is a larger set of DLI materials than exists at Archive.org. Having the DLI in two forms, with different interfaces, is a tremendous gift to scholarship in our field.

This tool is in the public domain and is already being used by students and scholars worldwide. This is a truly remarkable achievement and a valuable contribution to global Sanskrit scholarship.
