The indications of the equivalence of entrance and reference had come, and it had also made a difference in its interpretation and layout; this new edition greatly aligned with the original text because it reflected all the matters concerning the conduct of the opposing group that were present in the original work. Since the time of the Mathura edition, there has been but a single distinction in the accepted beliefs of both factions regarding the original text. It undermined the intense doctrinal differences between the two groups. The faction supporting the concept of non-permanence began to claim that the original text was completely lost. What the Shrut Sanchal faction possesses and what we have is all constructed and compiled by the later schismatic teachers rather than being authored by the original commentator. The Sachel faction asserted that indeed numerous new doctrines were created by later teachers, and new compilations were also made, but there was no alteration or significant change made to the essence of the original text. Upon scrutiny and historical examination, the Sachel faction's statement appears largely true. Because, despite supporting non-permanence and bias, that faction acknowledged the doctrine of non-permanence from the Ang Shrut.
