We feel great pleasure in placing the book ‘Prāksta Prose and Verse' in the hands of the readers. In fact, this book is the English translation of the second edition of ‘Prākstā Gadya - Padya Saurabha' published in 2003 by the Apabhraíśa Sāhitya Academy, Jaipur.
It goes without saying that Prāksta language is one of the richest Indo-Aryan languages. It is the most ancient and sacred language of India.
It is of capital importance to note that Prāksta is the language of the masses. Its vast literature in varied literary forms contributes to the dignity and excellence of the cultural heritage of Indian tradition.
In consequence, the proper understanding of Prākṣta and Apabhraṁsa language and literature is indispensible for comprehending the development of Hindi literature rightly and adequately.
Recognising the importance of Prākṣta language in the cultural history of India, the Managing Committe of Digambara Jaina Atiśaya Kșetra, Śri Mahāvīraji established Apabhraíśa Sāhitya Academy in 1988, which runs correspondence courses for teaching Prāksta and Apabhramśa languages. The Academy has published books for the implementation of these courses. Books on

Prāksta Grammar and Composition has already been published in 2006.
We offer our thanks to the learned researchers of the Saṁsthāna (Institute) specially Smt. Shakuntala Jain and to M/s Jaipur Printers Pvt. Ltd. for organising the publication of the book.

Lesson - 1
Auspicious Observance
Obeisance to Arahantas (embodied spiritually perfect personalities). Obeisance to Siddhas (disembodied spiritually perfect souls). Obeisance to Ācāryas (propagators of ethico-spiritual values). Obeisance to Upadhyāyas (teachers of ethico-spiritual values). Obeisance to all the Sädhus (pious personalities) in the world.
2.
This five-fold obeisance is the destroyer of all the vices and (so) among all the auspicious observances (this) becomes the fore-most auspicious observance.
3.
Arahantas are auspicious. Siddhas are auspicious. Sadhus are auspicious. Dharma (ethico-spiritual values) preached by the omniscient is auspicious.
4.
Arahantas are excellent in the world. Siddhas are excellent in the world. Sadhus are excellent in the world. Dharma (ethico-spiritual values) preached by the omniscient is excellent in the world.

Tresort to the shelter of Arahantas. I resort to the shelter of Siddhas. I resort to the shelter of Sādhus. I resort to the shelter of the Dharma (ethico-spiritual values) preached by the omniscient.
Meditate only on the five holy teachers (spiritual pillars) who are permeated with spiritual energy, who are auspicious, who are the shelters in the four grades of existence, by whom the world has been adorned, who are the supreme objects of devotion, and who have been adored by the human and celestial beings along with the Vidyadharas (human beings moving in the sky by means of supernormal powers).
May the Arahantas who are the annihilators of the dense obscuring Karmas (psycho-physical impurities), who are like the sun for the lotus of releasable souls existent in the three worlds, who are infinite knowers and are also enjoyers of unique bliss, win in the world.
8.
May the Siddhas who are devoid of eight types of Karmas (psycho-physical impurities), by whom all the purposes have been accomplished, by whom (their own) reincarnations in the world have been put to an end, by whom the essences of all the substances have been known, show me the path to liberation.

May tha Acāryas who have acquired exalted position by observing five Mahávratas (complete vows), who are the possessors of contemporary knowledge of their own faith and the faith of others and who have been saturated with diverse clusters of virtues, do good to
me.
10. May the Upādhyāyas who are the illuminators of the
mundane souls wandering in the dense darkness of ignorance which is difficult in crossing, impart supreme understanding (to me).
11. May the Sådhus who are full of multitude of glory, by
whom the garland of virtues has been steadily sustained, by whom attachment has been cast aside and by whom the parts of the body have been adorned with immense modesty, bestow happiness on me.
12. Arahantas, Aśarīras (Siddhas), Ācāryas, Upådhyāyas
and Munis are the five objects of devotion. Oṁkāra has emerged from the five letters (A + A + A+ U + M).

The meaning revealed by the Arahanta (embodied spiritually perfect personality) has been properly worded by the Gaṇadharas (chief disciples of the Arahanta). So by bowing my head with devotion, I make obeisance to the ocean of (worded) scriptural knowledge.
He who is the knower of his own faith and the faith of the other, who is profound, resplendent, benevolent, tranquil and who has been endowed with hundreds of virtues, is competent for delivering the essence of the doctrine (preached by the Arahantas).

1.
Just as in the plantain tree there is anywhere no substance (stem to be seen) in spite of its being searched well, so also there is no (experience of) happiness in sensuous objects even if it has been investigated thoroughly.
Just as an itchy (person) scratching his own itch regards that suffering (caused by itching) as pleasure, so also the persons possessed by attachment consider suffering caused by desire to be pleasure.
3.
(When men) choose the Karma (action for Karmic bondage) (they) are free; but in the rise of that (bound) Karma, (they) become dependent, (as when a person) climbs a tree, he is free; (but when) he falls from it, he becomes dependent (choiceless).
4.
(Somewhere) the Jivas are certainly subject to Karmas (psycho-physical impurities) and somewhere Karmas are certainly subject to Jivas; (as) somewhere the money-lender is powerful (and) somewhere the debtor is powerful.

The person who lives in the world unattched to worldly objects becomes free from sorrow. In spite of his being in the midst of the world, he is not defiled by this series of multitude of sufferings, just as the leaf of the lotusplant is not defiled by water.
That which is Ahimsa (non-violence), self-restraint and austerity is Dharma (spiritual value). It is by virtue of the Dharma (spiritual values) that supreme spiritual beneficence results. To him whose mind is always (absorbed) in the Dharma (spiritual values) even gods pay homage.
The basic nature of a (sentient) thing is known as Dharma (spiritual value); and the mental states of forgiveness etc. are ten kinds of Dharma (spiritual values); the togetherness of three Jewels is also Dharma (spiritual value); and again the protection of Jivas (beings) is Dharma (spiritual value).
I forgive all the beings. May all the beings forgive me. My amity exists in all the beings and my enmity is not with anybody too.
He who gives his back to the alluring and likeable pleasures which have been obtained (by him) (and also) abandons self-possessed pleasures is really a renunciatory. It is said so.

10. That night that passes does not return. The nights of the man committing vicious acts pass in vain.
11. One person may conquer thousands of the thousands in a battle difficult to be conquered and the (other person) may conquer one's own self, this (latter) is his paramount victory.
12. What is the use of one's battling with the external (persons)? Battle (with internal attachment and aversion) in one's own self. (The truth is that) having conquered one's own (attachment and aversion) in one's own self, one's happiness heightens.
13. Verily, the self is difficult to be restrained, (yet) the self alone should be restrained. (The reason is that) the self who has been restrained becomes happy in this world and in the next world.
14.
15.
The wound in a small quantity, the debt, fire and passion in a small qunatity should not be relied upon by you, since despite their being in small quantity (each one of them) is undoubtedly very much.
Anger dissolves affection; pride is subversive of modesty; hypocrisy throws out friends and greed is destructive of everything.

One should subvert anger by calmness. One should subdue pride by modesty, overcome hypocrisy by simplicity and greed by contentment.

Just as the tortoise draws its own limbs in its own body, so also the wise man does away with the vices by means of spirituality.
18.
Having committed wrong action consciously or unconsciously the person should immediately restrain his own self (and then) he should not commit it the second time.
19. He who renounces inclination towards an attached
thing renounces the attached thing. (He) for whom there does not exist any attached thing, he alone is the knower (by whom) spiritual path has been comprehended.
20.
The person destitute of all possessions is tranquil and is of joyful mind and who obtains final beatitude. Even the emperor does not attain that final beatitude.
21.
All the Jivas (beings) without exception desire to live and not to die. Self-restraining persons, therefore, certainly give up the distressful taking away of Prāņas (vital forces).

Just as pain is not dear to you so also having known in this way for all other Jivas (beings), you should give affection to all the Jivas (beings) adequately. And by reason of the equality with yourself, you should give sympathy to all of them.
Killing a Jive (being) is killing one's own self; compassion for the Jiva (being) is compassion for one's own self. By reason of this, injury to all the Jivas (beings) has been abandoned by those desirous of selfrealization.
Just as in the world there is nothing higher than the Meru mountain and nothing more extended than the sky, so also (in the world) there is no virtue (excellent and universal) corresponding to Ahimsa (nonviolence) know this.
The supra-worldly purposes and the best purposes in the world in regard to the sleeping men perish, so waking, all of you should annihilate the old Karmas (psycho-physical impurities).
O men! always wake up (beware). The intellect of the waking (bewaring) sharpens. He who sleeps (ignores spiritual values) does not become happy, (but) he who always wakes up (adheres to spiritual values) becomes happy.

The king, Srenika, ruler of Magadha (who was the) possessor of abundant wealth came out for a plesaure trip in Mandikuksi Garden.
There he (the king) saw a saint, self-controlled, handsome, completely immersed in meditation, seated under the tree and suited for worldly pleasures.
Having saluted his feet and having circumbulated him, he stayed neither at a distance, nor very near and formed folded hands and asked.
Oh Arya! You are young. Oh self-controlled! (you) have become saint at the time of sensual enjoyment, you are stable in sainthood. So, I should listen to its purpose.
Oh great king! I am without refuge. No body is my protector. I do not know any person and also any friend bestowing compassion (on me).

Then, he, the ruler of Magadha, king Srenika laughed (and said) how is there no protector for a prosperous man like you?
For the venerable persons (like you) I become the protector. Oh self-controlled! surrounded by friends and relatives, you enjoy sensual pleasures. In fact, human birth is very difficult (to attain).
Oh ruler of Magadha! Oh Srenika! even you yourself are without refuge. Becoming yourself without refuge, whose protector you will become?
When this was said by the saint, in this way then, (having heard) such words as were not heard before, that king (who was) endowed with surprise became very wonderstruck and too confused.
Elephants, horses and men are in my (possession), cities and palaces are in my (kingdom), I enjoy sensual pleasures related to human beings, my sovereignty and command are in vogue.
In such abundance of prosperity - where all the desired objects have been dedicated to someone, how will that one be without refuge? Oh venerable! so do not tell a lie in your statements.

Poetry is composed with great difficulty. On composing poetry its recitation is made with difficulty. If reciting persons are present, listeners are difficult to find.
Having kept both the hands on head, the orphan verse which has been composed with difficulty by good poets, weeps when the ignorant (reader) carelessly spoils (the reading of verse).
Who is not pleased with Prākṛta verses? Who does not remember dear friends? And who is not afflicted by the honoured beneficent person having been oppressed.
The flavor which grows from Prākṛta poetry (does not take us to dispiritedness). Just as through the words spoken by the wise man and by means of fragrant cold water we do not resort to dispiritedness.

Even being tarnished by the wicked person, the goodnatured virtuous man becomes more pure, just as being tarnished by the ashes, the mirror (becomes more clean).
The virtuous man does not anger, if he angers, he does not think evil; if he thinks evil, he does not speak evil, if he speaks evil, he becomes embarrassed.
Association with the virtuous men takes away our suffering, speaking, they bestow on us all pleasures. This auspicious thing has been done by the providence that virtuous men have been created by him in the world.
The virtuous persons do not laugh at others, they do not extol themselves, they speak hundreds of lovable things, this is the nature of virtuous persons. Salutations to those persons (again and again).
On having been done good by others, and on even having not been done good by others, persons doing good to others are seen in the world. But even on having been done evil by others, those virtuous persons who do good to others, are rare.

Thus (when) a man sees anyone thing he desires to possess that. A man dependent on greed, does not feel satisfied even with the whole world.
Just as the air increases instantly and just as the cloud spreads, similarly even the mild greed of a human being increases instantly.
And again in increased greed a man does not think of duty and non-duty and then without considering even his own death (He) commits any formidable crime.
Just as there is an iron hook for (controlling) the elephant and there is the moat for (the protection of) the city, so also the renunciation of possession is useful in restraining the senses and the restraint of senses is (no doubt) non-attachment.
(An angry man) does not see the virtues of others. (He) disparages the virtues of others and he talks (that which is) not fit to be talked. Because of anger the man of raging nature is infernal.
12. An egoistic person is poision (filled with ill-will) for all. He meets with strife, fear, enmity and sufferings. (Again) an egoistice person certinly meets with dishonour in this world and in the next world.

The story of an inauspicious man
1. In a city there was an inauspicious foolish man. He was such that anybody who looks at his face in the morning did not get even food. The resident of city also never looked at his face in the morning. The remark concerning the inauspicious man was also heard by the king. Once he was called by the king in the morning for testing, his face was seen (by the king). When the king sat for taking food and put the morsel of food in his mouth, all of a sudden there occurred a noise in the whole city, on account of the fear of attack by the enemy. Then even the king, having left the food and having got up immediately, went outside the city with an army.
2. (He) came back again because of not having seen any danger. The egoistic king thought - the nature of this inauspicious man has (now) been directly witnessed by me, so he should be killed. Having thought in this way and having been called the king handed the inauspicious man over to an outcaste for killing. Weeping and criticizing his own action when he was going with the outcaste, then having understood its reason, one kind and an intelligent person, having seen him being carried to kill by order and having spoken something in the ear, showed (him) method for his protection.

Rejoicing, (he went on) when he was made to stand on the pillar of killing then the outcaste asked him : If you have any desire except the protection of life, it should be demanded. He said, my desire is to see the face of the king. Then he was brought near the king. The king asked him what is the purpose of your coming here?
3. He said - Oh King! by seeing my face in the morning food was not obtained by you, but by seeing your face, there shall be my killing. What will the residents of the city express? Seeing the face of an illustrous person what (horrible) consequence has been produced when compared with seeing my face? (If this is the case) how even the residents of the city will look at your face in the morning? In this way the king was satisfied by the argument of his expression. Having nullified the order for his killing and having awarded him, (the king rejoiced). (By this) that inauspicious man was also satisfied.

Story of a Learned Daughter-in-law
Lesson - 7
1. In a certain city, affluent Laxmidasa lived well. Because of much wealth and prosperity, he was very much haughty. He was also attached to sensual pleasures and never performed religious activities. His son was like him. In youth the son was caused to marry by the father with the virtuous daughter of religious Dharmadasa having the quality expressed by his name. When the daughter was eight years old, then on account of listening to the religion of the omniscient and with the inspiration of her father, right faith and Anuvratas (Partial vows) were adopted by her in the direction of a woman saint, so she became very expert in the religion of the omniscient.
2. When she came to the house of the father-in-law, then having seen the father-in-law etc. opposed to religion, much sorrow was felt by her. How the observation of my vows will take place Or how will there be teaching of religion for the father-in-law etc. opposed to Deva-Guru? In this way she ponders.
3. Singularly the world is insubstantial, the wealth is also insubstantial, the body is also perishable, only religion is for certain the support for souls resorting to the other world. In this way, owing to the impartment of instruction, her own husband was transformed to the religion of the omniscient.

After some time she instructs her mother-in-law also in this way. (Now) she searches time for instructing the father-in-law.
4. Once in her house one saint (who was) wise, (was) fixed in youth and observer of great vows, adorned with Śramanika clusters of characteristics came for begging food. Having seen the peaceful and dispassionate saint arrived in the house who has adopted vows just in youth, it was thought by her even at the time of his presenting food (that) observance of great vows in youth is very difficult. In this youthfulness how the great vows have been observed by him? (The answer) to the problem was enquired in this way for testing: (the problem is) at present there has come up no time, why have you come out (of the world) before (time)? Having known the thought aroused in her mind, it was said by the saint, 'knowledge is time'. When will there be death nobody knows this. Therefore (I) have come out (of the world) without time. Having understood the reply, she was satisfied. She was also asked by the saint, - "How many years you have passed away." Having understood the meaning of the saint's question : It was told by her, 'twelve years' even on having passed away twenty years. Again, how many years your husband has passed? This was asked, It was told by her - Five years, even on having passed away twenty five years by the dearest. In this way, six month were told for the mother-in-law. On asking about the father-in-law, It was told (by her), “He is not yet born.”

5. In this way the conversation between the saint and the daughter-in-law was heard by the father-in-law situated inside. When the saint went away after getting food, he got very much disturbed due to anger, because having alluded to me, son's wife says in this way "I am not yet born." He sulked and went to the shop for telling this to (his) son. While going (to the shop), she tells the father-in-law, "Oh father-in-law ! having taken meals, you go." The father-in-law says, "If I am not born then how will (I) chew and eat food." Having said in this way, he went to the shop. He conveys the total conversation to the son, your wife is wicked and a rude talker, so you turn her out of the house.
6. He came to the house with his father. (He) asks his wife, "why insult of the parents was done (by you)?” In conversation with the saint why improper replies were given? It was told by her, - "you (yourself) ask the saint," he will tell (you) everything. Having gone to the residing place of saints, the father-in-law asks the saint with disrespect, - "Oh Saint! why did you come today to my house for begging food?" The saint said - "(I) do not know your house, where do you live?" The affluent man thinks, the saint speaks the untruth. Again he was asked, did you enter into conversation with a young lady in some house? The saint said, "That young lady is very wise." I was also tested by her. I was asked by her, - "How have (you) come out of the world without (proper) time? The reply was given by me”, “their is no knowledge of time - time of death.” So I have come out of the world before (proper) age. For testing, the age of all, the father-in-law etc. was also asked by me. Proper replies were given by her. The affluent man asked,

My father-in-law is not yet born.” It was told by her, “Oh father-in-law! having attained human birth of an irreligious man is just like not having attained it certainly, because the human birth has not been made fruitful by the observance of a true religion. So such human birth is unfruitful. By reason of that your whole life has passed away devoid of religion. So it was told by me, "My father-in-law is not yet born.” In this way by means of proper reason, he got satisfied and turned towards (proper) religion.

Her moter-in-law is unfortunate in spite of being inspired by such a devoted daughter-in-law in religious performances she (mother-inlaw) does not perform religious observances. Having heard this, (I) became happy with the virtues of the daughter-in-law. (So) religion was adopted (by me) through her mouth. (Only) six months have passed in the adoption of religion, so 'six months' were told by the daughter-in-law, that is proper."
9. The son was asked too. It was told by him, Through the wife (who) was immersed in doctrines and religious instruction at night, through observing insubstantiality in the world, through arising distress as the result of sensuality through the state of youthfulness which is like the flowingness of the rainy river, and through the trasientness of the body, (it was known by me that) religion is certainly substantial in the world. I, who was instructed in this way became the worshipper of the religion of the omniscient. Today five years have elapsed. So, by the daughter-in-law, having alluded to me, was told five years. That is true. In this way by virtue of the conversation relating to the adoption of religion for the family and having heard the real words, Laxmidāsa also was educated by the daughter-in-law and the religion was observed by him in old age. He along with his family got the right path.

Brave at Home
1. In a village, there lived a goldsmith. In the middle part of the main road there existed his shop. Having taken a case full of gold, he always comes to his own house in the midnight. Once it was thought by his wife. “Having taken the case, this my husband always comes to the house in the midnight. This is not proper, because, what will happen if thieves meet him in the way." Then her own husband was told by her, “Oh beloved ! Your coming to the house in the midnight in this way is not befitting.” What will happen then if anybody meets you in the middle part? He said, “You do not know my strength, so you utter this.” If even hundreds of persons come before me, what will they do? They are not capable of doing anything before me. Fear should not be felt by you." Having heard in this way, she thought (it was thought by her), "My husband is brave at home. I shall do her test on some occasion."

She said, “It has been told by me earlier, Oh master! having taken the case in midnight in this way you should not make any movement (no movement should be made by you). This was not accepted by you, so this has happened. He said, “(Though) I am very strong yet what to do? If there have come five or six thieves, then I was capable of winning them all. But there came hundreds of thieves, so I was defeated. Fighting with them, I have been made naked, having snatched away everything and I have been struck by sword in the back. See my back also insects have grown with wound.

6. Having seen his back, she knew that there are seeds and sap of cucumber. It was told also for the husband, “Oh master! being seized with fear it has been known in this manner by you. “It is not true that I have been struck by somebody and in this way as a result blood has come out and there insects have grown also. You have been struck by cucumber and its sap and seeds were attached on the back.” Having brought water she came for washing his body. Then having done cleaning of the body of her husband, she gave only those clothes in present which were looted by her. Having seen those clothes, he says with brashness, yes, yes you were known (by me) even at that time. It was thought by me - What my wife will do? So like the fact of seizing with fear, I stayed there and all lootedness was neglected. Otherwise what strength a woman possesses before me? She said, “Oh master ! your strength was understood by me even at that time. You are only brave at home. So having taken the case in midnight, coming (from the) shop should never be made by you from today. In this way he accepted wife's words.
