Bibliography

Edited in B.

Encoded and translated here by Emmanuel Francis (2024), based on Badhreenath 2015’s edition, which does not seem sufficiently reliable, notably for the transliteration of Grantha characters of the original and for the length of lacunas. The present digital edition is thus provisional and should be revised with proper visual documentation.
