This is an intelligent improvement on P.-prakasa II. 139 which runs thus:
संता विसय जु परिहरइ बलि किज्जउँ हउँ तासु ।
सो दइ वेण जि मुंडियउ सीसु खडिल्लउ जासु ॥ The change of kijjaü to kisu is quite intelligible, if we look at the sūtra and its commentary : kriyah kisu kriya ity atasya kriyapadasya apabhransı kisu ity adīso va bhavali | kijjaü is admitted as an optional form, and we get the illustration : bali kijjad suarassul. 11) On iv. 427 Hema. quotes:
जिभि दिउ नायग वसि करहु जसु अधिन्नई अन्नई।
मूलि विणट्ठइ तुबिणिहे अवसे सुक्कहि पण्णई ॥ In spite of 'some differences there is no doubt that it is based and improved on P.-prakasa II. 140 which runs thus :
पंचहँ णायकु बसि करहु जेण होंति वसि अण्ण ।
मूल विणट्ठइ तरु वरहँ अवसई सुक्कहिं पण्ण ॥ Some of the differences are caused by the purpose for which it is quoted, and Pischel notes a y, I. müla which is the reading of P.-prakasa. The consecutive numbering of these two dohās in P.-Prakasa is not without some significance; and if any inference is possible therefrom, it indicates that Hemacandra has quoted these verses directly from P.-prakasa. ___itl) On sutra iv. 365 Hema quotes :
आयहो दड्ड-कलेवरहो जं बाहिउ तं सारु ।
जइ उट्ठन्भइ तो कु हइ अह डज्म इ तो छारु ।। The doha from P.-prakala II. 147 runs thus:
बलि किउ माणुस-जम्मडा देवखंतह पर सारु ।
___ जइ उट्ठभइ तो कुहइ अह डझइ तो छार॥ The second line is exactly the same; and the first line is changed because the sūtra 'idama dyaħ' is to be illustrated.
iv) Then on ii. 80 Hema. quotes a short sentence 'vodraha-drahammi padia' which forms a part of P.-prakasa II. 117 that runs thus:
ते चिय धण्णा ते चिय सप्पुरिसा ते जियंतु जियलोए।
वोद्दहदहम्मि पडिया तरंति जे चेव लीलाए ॥ It is an important difference that Hema. retains r in the conjunct group which is not shown by any of our Mss. This verse is not in Apabh., and moreover it is introduced with the words uktam ca: so its genuineness in our text can be suspected. I think, it might have been included in the text by Joindu himself, because even the shortest recension of P.-prakasa contains . this verse.
Comparison of Hema.'s Apabh, with that of P-prakasa-It is clear from the above paragraph that Hema. has used P-prakāsa, and forms, etc. from it must have been useful to him in composing his Apabhramsa rules.
