Dear Harry Spier 
I don't know whether this information is useful or not, but,  I remember reading that, majority of the reference from Mahabharata in Böhtlingk Roth, is untraceable in any editions is said by Charudeva Sastry. Even after decoding the reference number the challenge is not over. 
A tip to decode the reference number is reverse working. Finding a famous known verse from Mahabharata and searching that in Böhtlingk Roth 
Regards

Dear list members,

I'm trying to trace some Mahabharata references in  Böhtlingk and Roth but i"m not clear how to translate their referencing format to whats in the GRETIL edition from Muneo Tokunaga revised by John Smith.  The B-R references are a digit (book number?) followed by a 5 digit number.  For example, in B-R a Mahabharata reference is 3, 16461 but there is no 03,164.061 in the Tokunaga edition.

Any help in how to translate the B-R references to the Tokunaga verse numbering system would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Harry Spier
