ORIGINAL TEXTS:-

The learned editress has at page 27 of her Introduction noted that the texts as printed are " full of incorrect readings " and that "The language is not strictly grammatical." Her explanation is that " this was apparently done on purpose, as it was easily understood by all. The Sant poets also follow-ed this policy of preaching in the popular language, which was in their case the Hindi." In view of thE' fact that some of the texts of the Natha cult edited in the Sarasvati Bhavan Texts Series of Banaras are also similar this explanation is plausible. At the same time it must be admitted that some of the errors and irregularities may have been due to the careless-ness or incompetence of the scribe'> who may have transcribed the previous manuscripts and that some divergences of the print from the press-copy may have remained uncorrected till the end. Whatever the cause or causes, the following corrections are suggested for consideration by the class of learned readers. for whose benefit this edition can be deemed to have been undertaken, in order that the texts may be able to convey to them intelligible notions about the principles of the Natha cult.
