I actually just ordered this and Arjuna and the Hunter in paperback from New Dehli from abebooks. It was the only way I could afford them haha.
Looking forward to it, though, since they say Magha's poem is one of the great mahakavyas making excellent use of chitrakavya and even creating that still-wrapping-my-head-around-it wheel shape in a verse.
Poems like this are why I want to study Sanskrit in grad school.
