Through carelessness and foolishness, the original texts have been made into a misshapen or distorted limb. It is true, "A dead body in hand, whether you bury it or blow on it." The scriptures cannot say anything to us, someone breaks them or twists them, makes them bulky or makes them thin, all this is the game of the writers and their creation!! It is impossible to even estimate how much dirt has been spoiled by these foolish or ignorant writers. Due to this corruption of the scriptures, many misconceptions have spread and there are great difficulties in knowing the true state of affairs. Shruta Sagar Suri also probably got a similar copy of the scripture and he considered those four verses, starting with "Ekadashake", to be created by Swami Samantabhadra, which are found in the first original copy after the 147th verse called "Grihato Muni Vanmitva". This is the reason why he has mentioned them in the commentary of "Shatpraabhrut" with the name of Maha Kavi Samantabhadra and has written "Uktan Cha Samantabhadrena Maha Kavina" at the beginning of them. Otherwise, they are not found in any of Samantabhadra's works, nor do they indicate from their literature that their author is a learned scholar and Maha Kavi Acharya like Swami Samantabhadra. They are definitely verses from some other scripture or scriptures and this is why they are quoted in the commentary of the second original copy and in both Kannada commentaries with the words "Uktan Cha Chatustayam". One verse from among them has already been mentioned above from the Charitrasar scripture.
It may not be irrelevant to point out here that it is a matter of great shame for those who consider themselves devotees of Jinvani Mata or who boast of her devotion, that such a bad condition of their own religious scriptures is found in their treasure houses of scriptures. The mother is being looted in front of them, she is being tortured, her limbs are being distorted or dismembered, someone is even violating her chastity, and they remain silent, not caring about her at all! Is this the name of motherly devotion? This can never be called motherly devotion. Such conduct of the sons is a great disgrace for them and
