Verified witness evidence
Internet Archive item in.ernet.dli.2015.403575 contains an 11,839,792-byte image PDF. PDF pages 2–4 visibly identify the work, Banādāsa, editor Dr Bhagavatī Prasāda Siṃha, Lokbharti Prakashan, Allahabad, and the first edition year 1980. Representative front matter, contents, early, late, and terminal pages were rendered and inspected.
PDF page 672 / numbered page 643 carries an explicit completion formula naming Ubhaya-prabodhaka Rāmāyaṇa and Śānti-khaṇḍa. Scans 313–317 of the controlled 1957 programme independently identify Banādāsa, quote the work, and place the next work after it.
Precise gaps
- Every internal image page has not yet been visually certified for continuity and readability.
- Division, chapter, metre, numbering, repetition, and canonical unit topology remain unmapped.
- The secondary study says seven divisions while listing eight names; the discrepancy is unresolved.
- No source-order original transcription, fresh English translation, or textual note is prepared.
- The programme's December 1892 printing statement and Internet Archive's unverified 1880 metadata have not been bibliographically reconciled.
- No reader, unit route, print view, PDF, facsimile, binary asset, or download is released.
Next editorial action
Audit all 672 images in order, map every printed page and division boundary, resolve the seven-versus-eight discrepancy, and define the canonical unit model. Only then begin source-order transcription and fresh English translation with page coordinates.
Rights and publication boundary
The 1980 edition has no explicit reusable licence in the archive metadata, so this site does not redistribute its scan. This page publishes metadata, checksum, source findings, precise gaps, and the acquisition/editorial path only. It appears in Incomplete Scriptures and Chapter Eight, never Complete Scriptures.
