<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Would love to see ashok ji and sunder ji's take on the above incident . references if possible even if bhavabhuti's uttara rama charitra is ruled out what about kalidasa's raghuvamsam was that tampered too?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
No I don't think they were all tampered with but the point is as discrimination hardened in society more and more of such passages were interpolated into the scriptures (which may not have been present in the original version) and Kalidasa and other contemporary playwriters used the contemporary versions of the epics to write their plays and hence they also have the Shmbukha incident in there, atleast that is what I think.
