find some of the last Kaccāyana manuscripts, or else the work would be lost
forever. Were these fears well founded?>>
Probably. Anyway, it is clear to me that the readings of Kaccaayana ms.s are
no more than ca. 300 years old, because Kaccaayana-va.n.nanaa (16th c. C.E.)
quotes examples from the Kacc-v that have been altered absurdly.
OP.
