Exact remaining gaps

  • All six root verses and the explicit completion line in the bounded source are represented; no root passage is known to be physically omitted.
  • Verse 4 remains provisional at महेन्दिरा and नस्तातु, whose intended construction is unresolved.
  • Verse 6 remains provisional at the twice-printed महद्रोयं; no tempting conjectural replacement is silently adopted.
  • The modern typesetting identifies no historical Sundarī-tantra manuscript or printed exemplar, so its attribution and transmission cannot yet be independently checked.
  • Archive supplies no explicit reuse licence; the source is linked but no PDF or facsimile is redistributed.
  • Browser publication and live verification remain pending; published-final and currently-live counts remain zero.

सीता विश्वस्य माता वै सीतागुप्ता महेन्दिरा । सीतारक्षोनलाख्याता नस्तातु शोभना सती ॥

Sītā indeed is the mother of the universe; Sītā is hidden or protected, Mahendirā. Sītā is known as the fire of the rākṣasas; the source’s unresolved ‘nastātu’ follows before ‘the beautiful true one.’

इदं स्तोत्रं महत्पुण्यं जानक्याः पटलं शुभम् । महद्रोयं महद्रोयं न देयं प्राकृते जने ॥

Fresh English

This hymn is greatly meritorious, an auspicious paṭala of Jānakī. The source twice reads the unresolved form ‘mahadroyaṃ’; it is not to be given to an ordinary person.
