________________ Method of Editing Principles Of Text-Constitution Adopted : The edited text of Nadiprakasam has been prepared mainly on the only available published text in Bengali script. The first six aphorisms of the first chapter are missing as a result of its worn out condition caused by white ants. But the summary of their contents has been made out from their Bengali translation with great difficulty. The stanzas in the the work have been kept in the edited text as they are found in three Udyotas (Chapters ) according to the serial numbers. This work has been taken as standard as a rule from every aspect--evidence, order, language and spelling, etc. In editing the spelling has been followed in accordance with that of the text.
