Gayā-bindu

What is actually verified

Scan 365 / printed page 338 of Bhuwaneshwar Nath Mishra “Madhav”, Rāma-bhakti-sāhitya meṃ Madhura Upāsanā (1957), states that additional works by Kāṣṭhajihvā Svāmī had also been found and names गया बिन्दु. The notice adds no subject description. This verifies secondary bibliographic metadata, not a primary text. The canonical total is unknown.

Direct reinspection of the Chapter Eight contents reads गयाबिन्दु, agreeing with the body reading गया बिन्दु apart from spacing.

Bounded source search

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

Generic Gayā pilgrimage, śrāddha, and Bindu Sarovar material and general author-attributed verses were quarantined because none establishes this exact work; no ritual subject is inferred from the title alone.

Precise gaps

• No exact print, manuscript, catalogue facsimile, trustworthy transcription, or securely assignable root excerpt has been located.
• The primary title leaf, imprint, date, publisher, opening, ending, colophon, pagination, continuity, completeness, canonical order, unit type, and total are unknown.
• The 1957 programme supplies the bare title only and quotes no text or subject description under it.
• General verses attributed elsewhere to Kāṣṭhajihvā Svāmī are not assigned to Gayā-bindu 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.
