The original founder of the Manuscripts and Editor of Kautilya’s Athashastra was R. Shamashastri.
Option 1, Srikanta Shastri, is not the correct answer as he was not involved in the founding of the Manuscripts or the editing of Kautilya`s Athashastra.
Option 2, Srinivasa Iyangar, is also not the correct answer as there is no evidence to suggest his involvement in the founding or editing of these manuscripts.
Option 4, William Jones, is not the correct answer either as he was a British judge and scholar who made significant contributions to the study of ancient Indian texts, but he was not directly involved in the founding or editing of the manuscripts in question.
