- Hermitess Roopa Bhavani’s “Rahasyopdesh”. She is considered the great mystic poetess of Kashmir of 17th century. After coming back from his transcendental Samadhi she used to recite some poetic expression which her devout used to pen down. The researcher worked on it for two years and succeeds to trace out its original Shaarda Manuscript from Late Sh. Vasudeva Pingalyan. The in-depth textual study was executed using modern methodology. The incorrect morpho forms were corrected with the help of consulting various hand written manuscripts. The entire mystic verses were translated and explained in Hindi Commentary.
- “The Cultural Heritage of Ancient Kashmir”, this is a big project and consists near about fifteen chapters. It is almost complete but still needs critical observation. This extensive work retains almost all the aspects pertaining spiritual-culture as well as material-cultural heritage of Ancient Kashmir. The effort is made to represent the geography of Ancient Kashmir on the standing point of countless shrinology of all the directions of Kashmir. This concept is supported by the great Kalhana in his Rajatarangini where he quotes: “In Kashmir, there is not a speck as large as grain of sesame without a Shrine”. (1.38). All the chapters of this gigantic work are completed but still afresh revise is needed before the final execution can be made.
- Researcher is presently working on a Sharda Script manuscript which belongs to the great Hermitess of 14th century of Kashmir Laladyed. The main objective achievement of this manuscript is that it is written in Sharda Script and above all it is first manuscript of its phenomenon nature which retains Sanskrit commentary of each verse of the Hermitess. The valuable and historical importance of this manuscript is that is near about 300 years old and because of this fact the morpho phonetics is archaic and phonologically original. The finding of such a rare Sharda Manuscript is a real achievement.
