Blavatsky]] herself refers readers to the story’s portrayal of the true Self observing the hero’s life. <span style="color: grey; font-size: 90%; font-style: italic;"> (<span style="font-style: italic; border-bottom:1px dotted gray; cursor:help;" title="">[[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Karmic Visions#318|BCW 9:318-319,339]]</span>)</span>  +

The October 1892 Lucifer article translates portions of From the Caves and Jungles of Hindostan published in the February 1886 Russkiy Vestnik. The material had previously been used in Dialogue on the Mysteries of the After-Life and then in The Key to Theosophy. The translator of the 1892 version is not established. <span style="color: grey; font-size: 90%; font-style: italic;"> (<span style="font-style: italic; border-bottom:1px dotted gray; cursor:help;" title="">[[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Zhelihovsky V.P. - From the Polar Lands#252|BCW 13:252]]</span>)</span>  +
Published posthumously in The Theosophist in October 1896. [[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]] tentatively dates its composition to autumn 1887 from its connection with the Lucifer debate on hylo-idealism. <span style="color: grey; font-size: 90%; font-style: italic;"> (<span style="font-style: italic; border-bottom:1px dotted gray; cursor:help;" title="">[[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Modern Idealism, Worse Than Materialism#93|BCW 8:93]]</span>)</span>  +
A collection of 1895 representing an early attempt to gather [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]]’s scattered articles under the auspices of her Memorial Fund <span style="color: grey; font-size: 90%; font-style: italic;"> (<span style="font-style: italic; border-bottom:1px dotted gray; cursor:help;" title="">[[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Zirkoff B. - Preface (BCW vol.1)#xv|BCW 1:xv]]</span>)</span>.

The manuscript from the Adyar Archives was first published in The Theosophist in August 1931. Its date is uncertain: B. Hastings suggested early January 1886, relating it to news of R. Hodgson’s report; [[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]] leaves the question open. <span style="color: grey; font-size: 90%; font-style: italic;"> (<span style="font-style: italic; border-bottom:1px dotted gray; cursor:help;" title="">[[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - My Justification#414|BCW 6:414-415]]</span>)</span>  +
The autograph, marked XV(a), covers slightly more than twelve numbered pages. It was held by J. M. Watkins and later by his son Geoffrey. [[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]] suggests it may have been intended for The Secret Doctrine; some words remain illegible. <span style="color: grey; font-size: 90%; font-style: italic;"> (<span style="font-style: italic; border-bottom:1px dotted gray; cursor:help;" title="">[[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Nebo of Birs-Nimrud#271|BCW 13:271]]</span>)</span>  +
The Russian manuscript survived in the Adyar Archives with notes by V. P. Zhelihovsky. After Russkoye Obozreniye refused her reply to [[Solovyov, Vladimir Sergueyevich|V. S. Solovyov]], Blavatsky asked her sister to find another outlet; it remained unpublished during her lifetime. <span style="color: grey; font-size: 90%; font-style: italic;"> (<span style="font-style: italic; border-bottom:1px dotted gray; cursor:help;" title="">[[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Neo-Buddhism#334|BCW 12:334]]</span>)</span>  +
A collection of five stories published in London, New York and Madras in 1892, illustrated by R. Machell. [[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]] traces its relationship to seven occult stories by [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]], several of which appeared earlier in periodicals and were later revised. <span style="color: grey; font-size: 90%; font-style: italic;"> (<span style="font-style: italic; border-bottom:1px dotted gray; cursor:help;" title="">[[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - A Bewitched Life#354|BCW 6:354-355]]</span>)</span> The first English edition appeared approximately in summer 1892 and comprised 144 pages. <span style="color: grey; font-size: 90%; font-style: italic;"> (<span style="font-style: italic; border-bottom:1px dotted gray; cursor:help;" title="">[[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Zhelihovsky V.P. - From the Polar Lands#247|BCW 13:247]]</span>)</span>  +
Published posthumously in Lucifer, February and March 1893, with an introduction by G. R. S. Mead, who states that they formed the basis of Blavatsky Lodge discussions in October 1889. A citation of Mead’s Pistis Sophia translation, begun in April 1890, indicates later editorial work on the text. <span style="color: grey; font-size: 90%; font-style: italic;"> (<span style="font-style: italic; border-bottom:1px dotted gray; cursor:help;" title="">[[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Transactions of the Blavatsky Lodge of The Theosophical Society#299|BCW 10:299-300]]</span>)</span>  +
A fragment of conversation recorded by [[Judge, William Quan|W. Q. Judge]] at [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]]’s dictation in 1888 and published in The Path, VIII, June 1893, pp. 79-81.

The editors of Lucifer associated the revision of this article with early 1891. Finding numerous parallels with Isis Unveiled and Elementals, [[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]] proposed an earlier preparation date, around the beginning of 1884. <span style="color: grey; font-size: 90%; font-style: italic;"> (<span style="font-style: italic; border-bottom:1px dotted gray; cursor:help;" title="">[[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Old Philosophers and Modern Critics#202|BCW 6:202-203]]</span>)</span>  +
The unfinished manuscript in the Adyar archives has missing pages and damaged sentences. [[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]] distinguishes two handwritings, one larger and rounder than Blavatsky’s usual hand. First published in the March 1958 Theosophist, pp. 367–372; the date of composition is not established. <span style="color: grey; font-size: 90%; font-style: italic;"> (<span style="font-style: italic; border-bottom:1px dotted gray; cursor:help;" title="">[[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - On Cosmic Cycles, Manvantaras and Rounds#302|BCW 13:302]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - On Cosmic Cycles, Manvantaras and Rounds#303|BCW 13:303]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - On Cosmic Cycles, Manvantaras and Rounds#301|BCW 13:301]]</span>)</span>  +

First published in the October 1931 Theosophist. C. Jinarajadasa found the autograph on the reverse of the fourth page of a copy of a protest defending [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]], sent by her nieces. His suggestion that it concludes a longer article is conjectural; the complete text is unidentified. <span style="color: grey; font-size: 90%; font-style: italic;"> (<span style="font-style: italic; border-bottom:1px dotted gray; cursor:help;" title="">[[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - One Eternal Truth#269|BCW 13:269]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - One Eternal Truth#270|BCW 13:270]]</span>)</span>  +
The autograph is preserved in the Adyar archives.

The Adyar autograph is on a twenty-inch sheet formed by joining three smaller sheets. Four further lines in [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]]’s hand appear on the reverse. <span style="color: grey; font-size: 90%; font-style: italic;"> (<span style="font-style: italic; border-bottom:1px dotted gray; cursor:help;" title="">[[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Palibothra or Megasthenes#342|BCW 13:342]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Palibothra or Megasthenes#344|BCW 13:344]]</span>)</span>  +
The autograph was among J. M. Watkins’s papers and later held by his son Geoffrey. From its opening [[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]] suggests it was intended for a glossary. <span style="color: grey; font-size: 90%; font-style: italic;"> (<span style="font-style: italic; border-bottom:1px dotted gray; cursor:help;" title="">[[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - Pherecydes#283|BCW 13:283]]</span>)</span>  +
Volume XIII of the Collected Writings reproduces only those passages from [[Mead, George Robert Stow|G. R. S. Mead]]’s Lucifer translation needed to make [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P.
