Wikimedia Commons labels the 1925 item public domain and links Digital Library of India / Internet Archive item in.ernet.dli.2015.342236; embedded catalogue metadata also says 1926, which remains a disclosed bibliographic variance. Hindi Wikisource's contents map the fifth sopan to printed pages 781–848. The completed scan ledger maps PDF pages 850–921 to 68 printed text pages, two illustrations and two blank versos. Six source-production batches contain 342 poetic passages plus the separate fifth-sopan colophon; blank pages 853 and 866, illustration pages 852 and 867 and all edition prose commentary were excluded. The scan controls the published reading. Attributed Wikisource revisions were comparison aids for batch 1. Internet Archive item tulsi-ramcharitmanas supplies a separately typeset Public Domain Mark comparison through its PDF page 730, but its edition and date are not identified well enough to control the text. The editorial review ledger records the exact boundaries and decisions.", "sources": [ { "label": "Wikimedia Commons — Belvedere Press Ramcharitmanas scan and public-domain record", "url":
