Scan-verified secondary notice

The programme identity was 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 458-page scan’s PDF page 252 / printed page 235 distinctly reads:

रहस्य रत्नमाला—रसिक वल्लभ शरण जी का रस पर दोहे, चौपाइयों में ।

This verifies the title, attribution, and only the limited description “on rasa, in dohās and caupāīs.” It is a secondary bibliographic notice, not a witness of Rahasya-ratnamālā, and it supplies no verse text. The controlled programme scan has SHA-256 0bc5c457b2965fe4bba2a3badf9f751ff968a6eefe015da5acb0a4f2a186eb2d.

Search scope

Exact, joined, separated, Devanāgarī, spelling-error, and author variants were searched across:

  • Internet Archive metadata search
  • Internet Archive and Digital Library of India holdings
  • Tokyo University of Foreign Studies repository census
  • Public web exact-title and author-variant search
  • WorldCat, Google Books, and HathiTrust web indexes
  • British Library and Endangered Archives web indexes

Recorded title variants include Rahasya-ratnamālā, Rahasya Ratnamala, Rahasya Ratna Mala, रहस्य रत्नमाला, रहस्य-रत्नमाला, रहस्यरत्नमाला, and रहस्य रत्तमाला. Author variants include Rasik Vallabha Śaraṇa, Rasik Vallabh Sharan, रसिक वल्लभ शरण, रसिकवल्लभ शरण, and रसिक वल्लभशरण.

The search found 0 exact-work candidates. Unrelated Jain Siddhānta Ratnamālā works, Śaiva and Tripurā Rahasya volumes in similarly named series, an unrelated modern Tamil work of the same title, and generic Ratnamālā catalogue records without this author or Rāma-rasika context were rejected. Search absence does not prove that the work is lost.

Precise gaps

  • No exact-work print, manuscript, facsimile, or trustworthy transcription is controlled.
  • The work’s opening, ending, extent, and internal divisions are unknown.
  • The secondary description establishes only that it treats rasa in dohās and caupāīs; it supplies no verse text.
  • No original text can be transcribed or compared against a primary scan.
  • No fresh English translation or textual notes can be prepared without a checked original.
  • No reader, print view, PDF, facsimile, or download can responsibly be released.

Next editorial action

Locate a traceable manuscript or printed witness under the recorded title and author variants; verify its title leaf, opening, ending, pagination, continuity, and completeness before transcribing any unit.
