The variations in the manuscripts consisting in spelling, words, phrases, sentences and grammatical concordance have been recorded. Errors in metre, when accidental or results of bad copying, can easily be corrected. But such errors in the *Mānasāra* are too numerous and they can hardly be corrected without tampering with the original. In all sacred works they have been respected by mediæval Indian scholars, and accounted for as peculiarities of holy sages (*ārsha*). The first editor of the *Mānasāra* has no other alternative than to take all these errors as *ārsha*.
