In plain words

This is the reading list behind the analysis — Sanderson, Dyczkowski, Padoux, Kinsley, Briggs, Ashby, Meadows, and the rest. It lived in a paper appendix; it belongs on the site.

A link here means you can open a source. No link means cite-only (library / rights). Copyrighted scholarship is never pasted here — citation and link only.

Body of Work claims that rest on scholarship are inference supported by these works — not attestation that a verse says my reading. For the growing source index, see Shastra sources.
