Field notes
The homepage frames the project as a comparison between familiar accounts and the textual record, and says its investigations trace claims to textual sources. Its examples include the Uttara Kanda’s disputed place in the epic’s textual history and the absence of the protective-line episode from the critical edition. The navigation also points to a timeline, methodology, sources, and glossary, though the extracted material does not show those pages’ contents.
