Mysore/Mysuru: Elderly French-Indian Sanskrit Scholar Dr. Pierre-Sylvain Filliozat, who was recently conferred the prestigious Padma Shri award and Dr. Vasundhara Kavali Filliozat couple inaugurated ‘karnata,’ a pioneering Research Centre dedicated to Classical Kannada language, at a programme organised at the Heritage House on Fire Brigade Road in Saraswathipuram here on Sunday by lighting the lamp.
Speaking on the occasion, noted Sanskrit Scholar and Columnist H.V. Nagaraja Rao said that he felt delighted just like the experience he would have got during the reign of Nrupatunga’s Rashtrakuta dynasty over a thousand years ago. Noting that many people do not know about Nrupathunga, he regretted that scholarly knowledge has been fast declining these days where technology is creating waves around the world.
