These and other irregularities cannot be standardized at present.
The mula text has been checked against the ed. by V.P. Limaye and R.D. Vadekar
(Eighteen Principal Upanisads, vol. 1, Poona 1958), and the electronic version
available on TITUS. In cases of divergence, preference has usually been given
to the printed edition.
The text of the commentary is not proofread!
