Evidence
"being pursued by copyists as late as the nineteenth century, as can be seen in the many variations and alternative versions of the kiļavis that come with the early classical corpus."
Remarks
The manuscript (MSSML 631) is a Tamil palm-leaf document currently housed in the Maharaja Serfoji Sarasvati Mahal Library in Tañcāvūr (p. 416). Although the source text is ancient, this specific manuscript adaptation reflects practices by copyists active as late as the nineteenth century (p. 414). The manuscript contains unique omissions and additions of sūtras, deviating from standard treatises like the Tolkāppiyam (p. 410-411).
