[INDOLOGY] Question on Southern and Northern recensions of mahābhārata

Dear list members,

The critical edition of the Mahābhārata has āśramavāsika-parvan as parvan
15 and mausala-parvan as parvan 16 but the SARIT version of the southern
recension has them in the opposite order, i.e. mausala-parvan as parvan 15
and āśramavāsika-parvan as parvan 16.

Can someone confirm that these two parvans are in different orders in the
critical edition and in the southern recension. Is the critical edition a
critical edition of the northern recension?

Thanks,
Harry Spier

Thanks,
Harry Spier
