This edition presents all 152 explicitly numbered units in the complete checksum-locked witness, followed by its unnumbered signature verse and completion colophon. The scan images control the transcription; archive OCR serves only as a locator, while selected Hindwi readings provide secondary collation. Metre and speaker headings remain explicit and the English is new.

The witness’s scan has no explicit reuse license. This release therefore contains the complete image-collated root text and fresh translation, but not the facsimile. The 152 numbered units, metre and speaker headings, signature verse, and explicit completion colophon are all retained.

जनकलली की सहचरी बालअली विख्यात। वन्दौं तेहि पद युगल शुभ सोभित सृष्टि जल जात॥ इति श्रीमच्चरणदासानुजीवी श्री बालअली कृत नेह प्रकाश सम्पूर्णम्—शुभम्

Renowned as Bala Ali, companion of Janaka’s darling, I bow to that auspicious pair of feet, radiant through creation. Thus ends Neha-prakasha, composed by Shri Bala Ali, follower sustained at the feet of the revered master. May it be auspicious.
