I think that these quotes solve the whole question and have not been

refuted satisfactorily by anyone. At this point, the only criticism that

could be done to Jayadvaita Swami´s work would be to check one by one his

revisions and either offer better versions or defend Hayagriva´s versions.

In his conference, Jayadvaita Swami offers all the keys to do that serious

work.

Christian philologists have the Concordated Bibles and other instruments

for specialists. An annotated Bhagavad-Gita would be such an instrument for

devotee scholars, but for general people, it would only create doubts about

our Scriptures.
