The same text says that there were 100 chapters originally. The first verse of the second part in the Khemraj Press edition says that the first part had 11000 verses in 80 chapters. The Khemraj Press edition contains a large body of unique materials, and although it has minimum number of chapters, it contains the largest number of verses: 5781 verses as compared to 4001 verses in Pt Sitaram Jha's edition. Pt Ganeshdatta Pathak also used many manuscripts and his text differs from that of Pt Devachandra Jha at few places. The text of Pt Devachandra Jha was based on a large number of complete and incomplete manuscripts. It seems as if some modern expert of prosody rewrote this entire text. Pt Sitaram Jha claimed in his introduction that he introduced many new things and revised much old material in the manuscript, so that the version of Pt Sitaram Jha is completely different from all other versions in syntax, although almost all verses carry same meanings. The text prepared by Pt Sitaram Jha based on the manuscript supplied by Pt Jeevanath Jha was later used by all English translators and only this version is available online. Currently, four versions of this treatise are available (all other editions use the text of Pt Sitaram Jha's version): by Khemraj Press, by Pt Sitaram Jha, by Pt Devachandra Jha, and by Ganeshadatta Pathak.
