Text research or text criticism: important direction of research

Abstract

Research work in literature is mainly in the form of uncovering the intrinsic value of a work, which can actually be called a research review. Exploring history or uncovering the contemporary social fabric through any work is definitely a subject of 'research'. But one area of literature definitely fulfills the definition of 'research' and that is text research or text criticism. Similarly, searching for the meaning-tradition of a text is also an important research. There have been many commentaries on Bihari Satsai and similar popular texts of Ramcharitmanas, which reveal its various inner meanings, and the discovery of old material through their comparative study and analysis can also be a subject of research. The presented article is based on textual criticism.
