I.—THE TEXT OF TUL’SI DAS. 
In order to show how the text of Tul’si Das’s works has been altered in 
the course of centuries, the following extracts from the Ramayan are given, 
exactly as taken from the oldest manuscripts in existence. In the footnotes 
are given the variations of the best printed editions. The manuscripts used 
are those referred to in Chapter VI, namely the Raj’pur copy of the Ajodhya 
Kand, said to be in the poet’s own handwriting, and the Banaras copy, made 
only twenty-four years after his death.
