The Avanikūrmaśataka from Dhār
Pending preparation of editions in EpiDoc, a working transcription is given here based on published readings. This includes (1) a diplomatic edition, (2) a presentation of the poem verse-by-verse, and (3) a reconstructed reading, little more than an Indological contrivance, in which changes are suggested on the basis of metrical requirements. Noting divergence from canonical standards is simply a way of historising the text.
