    Bibliography

    Edited in Rajavelu 2008, in Badhreenath 2015.

    Encoded and translated here by Emmanuel Francis (2024), based on the previous editions, with notable variant readings, whereas none seems sufficiently reliable, notably for the transliteration of Grantha characters of the original and for the length of lacunas. The present digital edition (based on conjectural reading of Rajavelu 2008) is thus provisional and should be revised with proper visual documentation.
