Answer

Study question (generated from the text)

Four: a copy of the palm-leaf manuscript in the Mysore Government Library, a palm-leaf manuscript in Kannada script from Shravanabelagola, a Mumbai copy that seems to be made from it, and an old, mostly correct paper manuscript from Raichur district.

Detailed answer

The editor says the Mysore copy is handsomely written but incorrect and omits the Hitāhitādhyāya, while the Raichur manuscript resolved many difficulties; its colophon traces its copying from Bālacandra Bhaṭṭāraka (Śaka 1351). He collated the copies, noted variant readings in places, and printed the Hitāhitādhyāya, found in two copies, as it stood because it was too corrupt to correct.
