  • Published incomplete translated preservation · Jñānālī Sahacarī

    Siyavara-keli-padāvalī

    सियवर-केलि-पदावली

    Sixty-nine numbered positions have scan-compared diplomatic text and fresh English: 11 checked and 58 provisional. A physical scan crop removes the close of song 26 and opening of song 27; main songs 30–408 and unnumbered terminal service material remain untreated. Zero units are published-final, and this is never counted as complete.

    Ubhaya-prabodhaka Rāmāyaṇa

    उभय-प्रबोधक रामायण

    Checksum-checked scans 311–313 preserve a bounded secondary quotation window, not a verified complete primary witness.

  • Published incomplete source-status · Rāmacaraṇadāsa Karuṇāsindhu

    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.

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.
