thorough knowledge of manuscripts and manuscriptology along with a deep rooted commitment to the work. Abhinavagupta in his introduction to Abhinavabharati has stated the principle followed by him in his tika which may also be used to sum up the ideal principles of editing a manuscript
उपादेयस्य सम्पाठः तदन्यस्य प्रतीकनम् । स्फुटव्याख्या विरोधानां परिहारः संपूर्णता ॥ लक्ष्यानुसरणं श्लिष्टवक्तव्यांशविवेचनम् ।
संगतिः पौनरुक्त्यानां समाधानसमाकुलम् ॥13 The above goals of editing are very important but equal attention needs to be paid to the tools of editing only then, the said goals can be achieved. While, comparing the available copies of manuscript of a text is the standard procedure of preparing a critical edition, it may be worth while to also take the oral tradition of a discipline into consideration, even with the precaution of noting it as such.
