________________ FRESH LIGHT ON BHAMAHA-VIVARANA 275 5. Vide p. 7 lines 17-28. 6. Read in this connection Prof. Krishnamoorthy's paper, mentioned in note 3 supra. 7. In the Sanketa commentary of Manikyacandra on Kavyaprakasa we have almost an identical passage in the same context. Probably they have adopted the quotation from a commom source and this source was possibly the Bhamahavivarana. 8. Vide KLV p. 57 1. 18. 9. Vide KLV p. 57 lines 21-22. 10. Vide KLV p. 57 1. 22. 11. Vide KLV p. 58 lines 23-24. 12. Vide KLV p. 70 lines 4-7. 13. Vide KLV p. 70 lines 8-11. 14. Vide KLV p. 71 1. 1. 15. Vide KLV P. 70 lines 18-19. 16. This surmise is based on the context supplied by KLV (p. 78 lines 5-13) : On a festive occasion Hayagriva sends his son to bring Narakasura with him. He goes to his capital but learns from the subjects of Narakasura's death at Krsna's hands, and his daughter's departure to forest on account of her bereavement. He then proceeds to meet her in the forest with a view to offering condolences to her; seeing her practising austerities he is struck with love and points out the great disparity between her tender youthful body fit for love's joy and her hard penance. But there is one serious difficulty which prevents us from making such a surmise. And it is the metre in which the two verses (i alfei...etc. and ii 7 aaf etc. on p. 78) are composed. The quarter, however, unmistakably, reveals the influence of Kalidasa (Kumarasambhava, canto v. 4). 17. p. 71 11. 9-12. 18. So it was also for Hemacandra who quotes some passages from it. For a contrary view, however, vide Kane's History of Sanskrit Poetics (p. 127, 1951 ed). 000 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
