In chapters i, 187-194 all that is written in çlokas belongs to a later version of the material, and all such passages are interpolations, often very clumsy withal, alike whether these verses were already to hand, or whether they were composed \*ad hoc\*. If all the çlokas are discarded, then we have a good account in the trishtubhs, complete in all essentials. Çlokas 191.11-16 alone seem hard to dispense with. There probably trishtubhs of like content originally stood. - [Previous: v2.c21.22](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.meyer-1915.v2.c21.22) - [Next: v2.c21.24](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.meyer-1915.v2.c21.24) - [Up: v2.c21](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.meyer-1915.v2.c21) ## Cites (2) - [Mahābhārata](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa*vulgate.1.191.11) — Sanskrit - [Mahābhārata](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.meyer-1915.v2.c21.23](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.meyer-1915.v2.c21.23) · Pramāṇa
