No. The mention of "Udumbaraseva" in the first verse, especially, seems jarring - these verses seem to have been quoted only for commentary. The first verse is not even present in the second copy, and the second is found only in its commentary. This also... these original verses do not seem to be authentic. The verse numbered 72, "G-Ahnomukhevasane", is a verse from Hemachandracharya's "Yogashastra" and is found on number 63 in its third light. Here, there is no connection with the method of the original text and its subject matter.
D- "Vadhadasatyat", the 71st verse, is a verse from the "Charitrasar" text of Chamunda Raya and seems to have been taken from there. The mention of the five Panchanuvratas in it has already come before, in the 52nd verse of the original text. Swami Samantabhadra's style of presentation does not involve such unnecessary repetitions. Moreover, the number of Anuvratas is given as five in the 51st verse, and here in this verse, "Rajyabhukti" is also mentioned as the sixth Anuvrata, which makes this verse seem completely unconnected with the text.
Similarly, the three verses "Darshanikavratakavapi", "Aarambhadvinivrittah" and "Adyastu Shat Jaganyah" also seem to have been taken from the Charitrasar text and are found in their respective places there. In the second original copy, they have also been quoted only as commentary, and in the commentary, they are given in the form of "Uktan Cha". They seem unnecessary in the context of the original text.
- "Maunam Bhojanvelayaam", "Mansaraktarracharmaasthi", "Sthulaah Sukshmaastatha Jivah", these three verses numbered 73, 75 and 101 are verses from the Upasakaachar written by Pujyapada, whose examination article we published in the 12th issue of Jaithiteeshi Part 15. In it, these verses are recorded at numbers 29, 28 and 11 respectively. Here, they have no connection with the literature, context, etc. of the text and seem quite unconnected.
The same is the case with other verses, and they cannot be part of the original text at all. Like the aforementioned verses, they were quoted at some point in time by some person as commentary for their memory, etc., and later, while copying the original text from those copies containing commentary, the writing...
