Detailed Solution

The above statement is true,
The manuscripts had inconsistent handwriting and were therefore challenging to read. The majority of the manuscripts were written on palm leaves, which were vulnerable to damage from pests. As the scripts were being written, the writers and scribes frequently made minor adjustments. Later, these modifications led to significant connotational differences. Consequently, the Indians had a problem with manuscripts. During those times, there was no printing press, so scribes manually copied manuscripts. This was not an easy exercise because it is quite difficult to decipher other people’s handwriting.
