Namaste!

Please see if you could respond to Professor Bhattacharya's query below (who I've marked a copy to).

''Do you know any Sanskritist well versed in the tenets of textual criticism? My question is: Are the long Additional Passages in the critical editions of the Harivamza, Mahabharata, RamayaNa, etc. to be treated as interpolations or not''. 

With regards,

Sincerely yours,
