Hi Ross,

yes, I completely agree, it should be done the way you suggest. I know
that what I am doing is a quick and dirty work-around, not a solution.
I just started learning LaTeX+XeTeX few days ago and there are now
more important things to learn than loew level TeX-programming:
(tables, boxes, indexes, cross-references, ...) Some day in the
future, when I feel reaady for the task, I probably will get into this
Devanagari Bibliography thing again.

Best regards,

S.
