Incomplete Scriptures
Read the work gathered so far. These editions may have missing source material or passages still under review. Each reader explains its limits and marks unfinished work clearly.

Siyavara-keli-padāvalī
सियवर-केलि-पदावली

Zero units are published-final, and this is never counted as complete.

Aṣṭayāma-pūjāvidhi
अष्टयाम पूजाविधि
The exact 75-page scan is checksum-controlled, but alternating photographic clipping removes wording from the root on PDF pages 3–74. The terminal leaf visibly numbers verse 117 and closes with iti Śrī Sevāvidhi sampūrṇa; 117 is numbering evidence, not a readable or published-unit count. Counts are 0 draft, 0 checked, 0 provisional, and 0 published. A full-width recapture of every root leaf or another complete copy is required before transcription.

Adhyāyatrayī
