🪷 The Honest Framing

This chapter belongs to the source-pinned BORI Critical Edition-derived digital witness. Its unique addresses are publicly readable and indexable; this remains a digital-witness claim, not a claim that every Mahābhārata recension agrees word-for-word or that the traditional 100,000-verse extent is represented here.
