252 STUDIES IN JAIN LITERATURE विवृद्धात्माप्यगाधोऽपि दुरन्तोऽपि महानपि / एतद्वाक्यं कृत्यारावणे रामेण स्वशोकस्याभिधायकमुक्तं नाभिनयः / / - KLV p. 304, ii. 17-19 This passage confirms that the A. Bh. text cites only the second half of the verse. It further informs us that the verse expressing Rama's sorrow is drawn from the old Rama-play Krtyaravana (now lost). With reference to this verse R. Gnoli observes in a footnote : untraced source (Text, p. 4), unidentified stanza" (Translation, p. 30) 3. शोकेन कृतः इति / अस्योत्तरमर्द्धम् / हृदयस्फुटनभयार्ते रोदितुमभ्यर्थ्यते सचिवैः / इदं तापसवत्सराजे विनीतदेववाक्यमुदयनगतं शोकमभिदधाति नाभिनयः / -KLV p. 304, 11. 17-20 This passage corroborates the fact that the A. Bh. text cites only the first half of the verse. It further informs us that the verse, giving expression to Udayana's profound sorrow, and forming part of Vinitadeva's speech occurs in the play Tapasavatsaraja. With reference to this verse R. Gnoli observes in a footnote : ..... This stanza, whose source I have not succeeded in identifying. (Text, p. 4) Unidentified stanza (Translation, p. 30) In the printed text of the Tapasavatsaraja we read : (नेपथ्ये) देव समाश्वसिहि समाश्वसिहि, समस्ससदु समस्ससदु पिअवअस्सो / [समाश्वसतु समाश्वसतु प्रियवयस्यः ] विनीतभद्रः - (श्रुत्वा दृष्ट्वा च सकरुणम्) अये कथमागत एव देवः श्रावितश्च, तथा ह्ययम्शोकेन कृतस्तम्भस्तथा स्थितो येन वर्धिताकन्दैः / हृदयस्फुटनभयार्ते (रोदितु) मभ्यर्थितस्सचिवैः // अतिकरुणं च वर्तते तदितोऽपसृत्य कार्यशेष प्रतियोजयामि / -Act 11, p. 18 This stanza presents some variant readings : 1. श्रुत्वैष विधृतबाष्प:- Srigaraprakasa (Ch, XXXII) as quoted by the editor of the play in a f. n. on p. 19 शोकेन कृतः स्तम्भः; KLV P. 304, G. M. 2. -योऽनवस्थिताक्रन्दैः -G -योऽवस्थिताक्रन्दैः -M -येन वधिताक्रन्दैः -Hema. (as noted by R. Gnoli, Text. p-4) 3. -मभ्यर्थ्यते सचिवैः --Hema.; KLV
