Editorial policy
Textual claims are not clinical claims. Dummy citations on this site are shaped like real editions; they are not a paywalled critical apparatus.
What a claim is
A textual claim names a work, an edition or translator where we have one, and a confidence. It lives in the serif claims box. It does not use clinical verbs. “Named in haṭha lists” is a claim. “Cures sciatica” is not a claim we will print.
What safety is
The safety box is contemporary-empirical and plain. Modifications are variants (wall / chair / independent), not footnotes of failure. Search never suggests disease. See Safety.

Primary knowledge stays free. Taught classes are paid, with a teacher you choose. We do not paywall the Gītā.
