The Abhinavabharati on the Natyasastra (Ch XXII verse 210)2 has the following corrupt passage : अत्र तु वृद्धपशुव्यो (पशवो?) वदन्ति मासपसूआ....(षण) मास गम्भिणी एकदिअहज्जरमुहे...। The editor in a footnote adds : अपूर्णा चास्फुटार्थेयं गाथा कोक्कोकवचनस्य मूलं स्यात् / यथा रङ्गादिश्रान्तदेहा चिरविरहवती मासमात्रप्रसूता गर्भालस्या न नव्यज्वरयुततनुका त्यक्तमानप्रसन्ना / स्नाता पुष्पावसाने नवरतिसमये मेघकाले वसन्ते प्रायः संपन्नरागा मृगशिशुनयना स्वल्पसाध्या रते स्यात् / / -अनङ्गरङ्ग 4.36 The reading 'वृद्धपशुव्यो (पशवो ?) is very doubtful.

Bhoja asserts in his Sarasvatikanthabharana (Ch.I.123) : यदा तीव्रप्रयत्नेन संयोगादेरगौरवम् / न च्छन्दोभङ्ग इत्याहुस्तदा दोषाय सूरयः // Ratnesvara in his commentary on this karika quotes the following two lines : धवलाइं गलेत्ति धवलेहि अणञ्जणसामलेहि णिसालआए। णक्खत्तकुसुमाइं णहअलाओ ओसरइ / / -p. 121 These two lines, though printed in the form of a verse, do not yield any
