Bhūṣaṇa-rahasya

What is actually verified

Scan 364 / printed page 337 of Bhuwaneshwar Nath Mishra “Madhav”, Rāma-bhakti-sāhitya meṃ Madhura Upāsanā (1957), visibly begins a numbered list of Kāṣṭhajihvā Svāmī's printed booklets. Item 3 is भूषण रहस्य, followed by a description of the diverse adornments and ornaments gracing Bhagavān Rāma and Bhagavatī Sītā's bodies. This verifies the bibliographic notice and subject description, not a primary text. The canonical total is unknown.

Bounded source search

Exact and variant Devanāgarī and Roman-title searches, author combinations, Internet Archive metadata, public indexes, and saved local research produced 0 exact-work candidates. Search absence does not prove that the work is lost.

Generic ornament and rahasya material, Kāṣṭhajihvā's separately catalogued works, literary-history and dictionary citations, and general author-attributed verses were quarantined or rejected as substitutes because none establishes that its text belongs to this work.

Precise gaps

• General verses attributed elsewhere to Kāṣṭhajihvā Svāmī are not assigned to Bhūṣaṇa-rahasya and are not silently substituted for its root.
• No original text, fresh English translation, textual note, reader, print view, PDF, facsimile, or download can responsibly be released from the present exact-work evidence.
