Would you be able to supply pdf of Pascale Haag's article? Thanks to Tim Lubin and Chistophe Vielle for helping me D. C. Bhattacharya's article. Are Bharatamallika's commentaries on the Amarakośa and his medical writings, not to mention other works, really still unpublished?

(I am unable to check at this time whether there is explanation of this matter in the Śabdakalpadruma itself.) And I would like to be able to track down the source texts. If anyone can share any e-texts of any of the works of this apparently prolific 17th-c. author, I'd be very grateful. There is an elaborate entry concerning him in NCC 16, and also at https://panditproject.org/entity/40418/person. Related to the above: can anyone help me with a pdf of the following? D. C. Bhattacharya, "Bharatamallika and his Patron." IHQ XVIII-2. 1942, pp. 168-79. Thanks a lot.
