________________ 456 STUDIES IN JAIN LITERATURE The passage "Devaaiti lunahi ..gumariphellaparanya". (?) in Locana on Dhvanyaloka 1.16 was considered extremely corrupt and absolutely unintelligible. The commentator "Balapriyakara" confesses his inability to restore the original passage. I came across a corresponding passage in Abhinavabharati (Vol. I, Ch. VI, p. 305) which reads "Vardhate' lunahi... landha." This too is absolutely corrupt. Parisistam to the Volume (p. 383) notes : Dhvanyalokalocanasya talapatradarse... "Paluddisi.. dolvapaittha (?)" This, too proved of little use in tracing the original verse. Somesvara's Samketa on Kavyaprakasa (II-14, p.24) quotes part of the relevant passage from Locana wherein the Apabhramsa verse occurs and correctly presents a half of the verse : "Lavannujjalangu ghari dhollu paittha". The whole verse, however, is for the first time cited correctly in Kalpalataviveka (p. 123, lines 26-27) as follows : Divadi tellu nahi palu drammi gamittha 1 Lavannujjalangu ghari dhollu paittha 11 (Sanskrit chaya : Dipake tailam nasti palam dramam gavesitam | Lavanyojjvalango glhe priyatamah pravistah 11 One more passage from Locana may be cited here in this connection. Locana (p. 176) reads : "Osuru sumthi...tena !!" The text of the first quarter of this Apabhramsa verse is obviously corrupt. Kalpalataviveka (p.127, line 17) records the pratika of this verse as "Usurusumbhiyae". Desisaddasamgaha (p. 55) reads : 'ऊसुंभिय-ऊसुरुसुंभिया य रुद्धगलरुण्णम्मि' The editor explains "usumbhiyam tatha usuru-sumbhiyam ruddhagalam rodanam". In the light of these two relevant and useful suggestions the verse could be restored as : Usurusumbhiyae muhu cumbiu jena | Amiarasaghontanu padijaniu tena || Sanskrit chaya : Ruddhagalam rudatyah mukham cumbitam yena 1 Amstarasaghotanam parijnatam tena || For Private & Personal Use Only Jain Education International www.jainelibrary.org
