This edition presents the complete work in its checksum-locked witness: forty explicitly numbered songs followed by the dated completion colophon. Although the conventional title says pacīsī, this witness does not stop at twenty-five. The original Devanagari was collated twice against the page images and translated afresh. Difficult Braj, Hindavi, Punjabi, and Persianate readings are retained diplomatically and disclosed unit by unit.
The witness’s scan has no explicit reuse license. This release therefore contains the complete manually collated root text and fresh translation, but not the facsimile. Editorial notes preserve difficult Braj, Hindavi, Punjabi, and Persianate readings rather than silently replacing them.
