Besides, the latter wrote from memory, and a slip of this kind is not impossible particularly when one is writing long after the event took place and when no verification is possible in a distant land. - [Previous: c6.27](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.prasad-1936.c6.27) - [Next: c6.29](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.prasad-1936.c6.29) - [Up: c6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.prasad-1936.c6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.prasad-1936.c6.28](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.prasad-1936.c6.28) · Pramāṇa
