Kavitāvalī

Two visually checked programme pages

Both pages were checked directly in Bhuwaneshwar Nath Mishra ‘Madhav’, Rāma-bhakti-sāhitya meṃ Madhura Upāsanā, first edition, 1957, Internet Archive/DLI item in.ernet.dli.2015.480993. The controlled local file is 23,682,714 bytes and the scan has 458 PDF pages.

• PDF page 17 / printed page 20: the Chapter Eight contents visibly place Kavitāvalī in the list introduced as works written by Śrī Svāmī Janakarāja Kiśorī Śaraṇa “Śrī Rasik Alī.”
• PDF page 252 / printed page 235: the programme visibly prints the bare title कवितावली between Holikā-vinoda and Śrī Jānakī-karuṇābharaṇa, with no description, unit count, opening, ending, quotation, edition, or manuscript location.

The श्री रसिक अलीकृत printed lower on page 252 introduces the following Siddhānta-muktāvalī excerpt. It is not treated as a fresh Kavitāvalī attribution line. The attribution here rests on the Chapter Eight contents grouping. The controlled scan has SHA-256 0bc5c457b2965fe4bba2a3badf9f751ff968a6eefe015da5acb0a4f2a186eb2d.

Independent identity lead

Ramchandra Shukla's Hindī Sāhitya kā Itihāsa, certified Wikisource scan page 379 / printed page 354, independently lists Kavitāvalī among Janakarāja-Kiśorīśaraṇa's works. It supports the title and author association but supplies no text, topology, edition, or witness location.

The fresh Internet Archive creator search returned exactly 14 creator hits and 0 exact-work candidates. Across the complete search scope, the result remains 0 exact-work candidates: no digitized print, manuscript, facsimile, trustworthy transcription, catalogue record with a usable witness, or controlled excerpt explicitly assignable to Rasik Alī's Kavitāvalī. Search absence does not prove loss.

Rejected candidate classes

• Tulsīdāsa Kavitāvalī editions: generic exact-title matches belong to a differently authored work.
• Other authors' generic Kavitāvalī or Kavittāvalī collections: DLI and TUFS candidates carry other authors, subjects, or compound titles and cannot be reassigned.
• Modern Kanak Bhavan and festival compilations containing isolated Rasik Alī signatures: anthology verses establish neither this independent work nor its extent and order.
• Hindwi's Rasik Alī author page: its detached dohās are not labelled Kavitāvalī and overlap material associated with Siddhānta-muktāvalī, so they cannot supply this work's text.

Precise gaps

• No exact-work print, manuscript, facsimile, trustworthy transcription, or explicitly assigned excerpt is controlled.
• The programme gives the title but no description or unit count, so the work's extent and unit type are unknown.
• The opening, ending, order, repetition pattern, metres, readings, and relation to other Rasik Alī collections are unknown.
• Generic Kavitāvalī search results belong chiefly to Tulsīdāsa or other named authors and are false positives.
• Detached verses signed Rasik Alī in modern compilations cannot be assigned to this work without witness evidence.
• No original text, fresh English, or textual note can be prepared without a checked witness.
• No reader, print view, PDF, facsimile, or download can responsibly be released.
