Where can one find the original manuscripts of the Hindu texts like the Vedas, Upanishads, Mahabharata, Ramayana etc. ? I mean the ones used for the first English translations in the late 1800s by the colonial Indologists like Max Mueller and who gave it to them ?
I see some discussion here but no good answer.
How can one authenticate that whatever versions they had used for the translation are the correct ones and not manipulated ?
