'Before MSS. can be used for critical purposes, it is necessary that they should themselves be examined critically, in order to determine their origin, their age, and their genealogical ramifications, and thus to fix their relative value." - see : Rig-Veda-Sanhita, Ed. Max Muller, vol. ļ W. H. Allen & Co; London; Preface, p. XV. IBID p. XV "Now, if there are for instance, certain MSS. which omit a certain number of passages that have been preserved in others, we may safely conclude that the MSS. which coincide in omitting these passages flow from the same original source. But out of the number of Mss. which thus coincide in omitting certain sentences, some may again differ in other characteristic passages,
and thus form new classes and subdivisions". 6. A catalogue of Sanskrit Manuscripts, at the Asiatic Soci
ety, Calcutta, Vol. v. MS. No. 5289 / 5653. C. "In the latter case, if there remain several independent
branches of MSS. the task becomes more difficult; and as each class of MSS. may claim for itself the same degree of authenticity, it becomes the duty of an editor to choose in each particular case the reading of that class of MSS. which may seem to him most correct, and best in accordance with the general style of the author." see : Rig Veda-Sanhita, Ed. Max Muller, Vol. I, W. H. Allen &
Co; London, Preface, p. xvi 10. Introduction to Indian Textual Criticism, Poona, 1954.
