Controlled scan

The acquired original is 61,068,404 bytes and unencrypted. Its SHA-256 is 1d699fdb519aac275337bdfd455193944e98de91228bdbc7e4ad2c0f4f4bc3ff. Internet Archive supplies no explicit reuse licence, so the facsimile remains research-only.

Verified physical boundary

  • PDF pages 1–2 are binding matter.
  • The root begins on PDF page 3 under the visible title, with left-edge photographic loss.
  • PDF page 4 has right-gutter loss; alternating clipping recurs through the root.
  • PDF page 74 visibly closes verse number 117, followed by इति श्री सेवाविधि सम्पूर्णम् and the Lucknow Printing Press 1901 statement.
  • PDF page 75 is the rear board.

The visible terminal number 117 records the witness’s ending. It is not a claim that 117 complete readable, checked, translated, or published units exist.

Precise gaps

  • PDF page 3 loses wording at the left edge of the photograph.
  • PDF page 4 loses wording at the right gutter of the photograph.
  • Alternating left- and right-edge clipping recurs through sampled early, middle, and late root leaves.
  • The loss is in the photographs themselves; OCR cannot restore or control missing wording.
  • No clipped word may be reconstructed from OCR, conjecture, a parallel edition, or a related ritual text.
  • The terminal leaf visibly numbers verse 117, but the verse loses right-edge wording and is not a complete readable unit.
  • The number 117 is terminal numbering evidence, not a count of checked, translated, or published text units.
  • No root unit has a responsible complete transcription, fresh English translation, or unit-level note.
  • No reader, print view, PDF edition, facsimile, embed, binary, or download is released.
  • Reuse rights for the scan have not been established.

Required acquisition

Obtain a full-width recapture of every root leaf from PDF pages 3–74 or another complete copy of the same edition. Then collate every line against this checksum-controlled scan before preparing text or English. Preserve every repetition, mark every uncertainty explicitly, and never fill clipped wording from OCR or parallels.

Public checkpoint boundary

This is a public metadata-only route. There is no scripture reader, unit route, note set, print route, PDF edition, facsimile, or protected download. Any future text release requires a new source, editorial, rights, and mature-access review.
