PRAKRIT VERSES IN SANSKRIT WORKS ON POETICS 459 ओआरो सुद्धो पआवसाणम्मि लहू अ / पालित्तस्स जहा(ओकारः शुद्धः पदावसाने लघुश्च / पादलिप्तस्य यथा-) , उअ पोम्मराअमरगअसंवलिआ णहअलाओ ओअरइ / णहसिरिकंठभट्ठ व्व कंठिआ कीररिंछोली // 1.4 // (पश्य पद्मरागमरकतसंवलिता नभस्तलादवतरति / नभः श्रीकण्ठभ्रष्टेव कण्ठिका शुकपङ्क्तिः / ) The context in SK (I. Karika. 123) and Ratnesvara's comments thereon (pp. 120-121) leave no doubt that Ratnesvara had in mind these three illustrations. Bhoja's Srngaraprakasa cites the highest number of Prakrit passages. The printed text (Mysore edn.) presents a large number of them in a very corrupt form. A few typical examples may be taken up for consideration : चं छं रवाहिपरोंख० कहवतुग्गघडिआहिआगमसुंधस्सं / चालिअणि क० प० अणुहूआहिविमहं सुअच्चिअगरुअं // Now, this passage, as presented in the printed text hardly makes any sense. If we keep in mind the context of sastrabhimana and read the text again and again we get some hints. It speaks of 'parokkha' agama', 'anuhuau', 'sua' and we are made to think that the terms are most probaby drawn from Nyayasastra, and we are led to emend the corrupt term 'camchamkhahi' to fpaccakkhahi' and this word serves as a key to trace the corrupt verse to Setubandha IV. 27. पच्चक्खा हि परोक्खं कह वि तुलग्गघडिआहि हि आगमसुद्धं / संचालिअणिकंपं अणुहूआ वि महं सुअं चिअ गरुअं // [प्रत्यक्षात्परोक्षं कथमपि तुलाग्र (? काकतालीय) घटितादागमशुद्धम् / संचालितनिष्कम्पमनुभूतादपि मम श्रुतमेव गुरुकम् (=गुरु) // (ii) वैरि जंतो पुवंकएहि क०मेहि केहिवराओ सुम०छंतो दु०सह जणाणराए जणे परइ / अरंभो ज०स इमोणीसासाआससोसिअसरीरो परिणाहेकहं होहिइण आणिमो द०ढपे०म०स / / -Vol. IV p. 901. These four lines, as printd in the text, lead us to believe that they form the four quarters of one single stanza. On a closer look, however, they are seen to be in the Arya metre (with 12, 18, 12 and 15 matras in the four quarters respectively) and actually form two independent stanzas. पेरिज्जंतो पुव्वकएहि कम्मेहि केहि वराओ / सुहमिच्छंतो दुल्लहजणाणुराए जणो पडइ / /
