In the citing paper
“the contents of Tantras (tantric scriptures) are conveyed in highly cryptic, coded language (referred to as sāndhyābhās .ā or twilight language) to ensure that only the initiated understand them and can make use of their power (Brooks 1992, pp. 406-7, 412;Wilke 2012, pp. 32-33).”

“Since the majority of initiates and lay devotees would have lacked the education and literacy required to read scriptures themselves or understand on a semantic level what was being recited to them (Brooks 1992, pp. 418, 422;Brunner 1977, pp. 110, 113-15)”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
