``Fictitious'' quotes from known works

Mesquita notes that he is unable to find quotes given by Madhva from certain well-known sources, and assumes that this is because Madhva has claimed that his quotes come from them in order to impart legitimacy. However, we show by a few examples that no such assumption is called for.

Briefly, we may note that published versions and manuscripts of these known sources vary widely, and there is generally no editio cum notis variorum for one to use.
