He has tried his hand at the popular classical metres like मन्दाक्रान्तो (I. 106), शार्दूलविक्रीडितम् (I. 122; V. 168), मालिनी (III. 139; VIII. 141), स्रग्धरा (IV. 129) and शिखरिणी (VII. 162) besides the difficult ones like हरिणी (V. 167), पृथ्वी (VI. 140), मालती (VII. 161) and मञ्जु भाषिणी (IX. 90). His knowledge of Sapskrit grammar is quite adequate, and his Sanskrit diction is quite living in that it adopts a few current Apabhramsa usages some of which are listed in Appendix B. It must, indeed, be confessed that the pains taken by the father of Pallipāla Dhanapāla, in training him up in poetic composition, have not been in vain.
VIII Pallipāla Dhanapāla and Lakşmidhara-A Study in Contrast :
A few points about Lakşmidhara and his work (TMKS) have already been noted above. Here we mainly concentrate on the points of comparision and contrast between the TMS and the TMKS.
Both the works are based on the same prose-romance and both are composed with the same purpose in view. A close comparision reveals, many parallel passages--generally a quarter or two of a verse--which cannot be explained away as being due to their dependence on a common source, especially when these passages do not possess much correspon. dence to the relevant passage of the original prose-romance. A few instances of such parallelisms are noted below along with the relevant passage of the TM where necessary :
(I) TMS : कथागुम्फः स एवात्र प्रायेणार्थास्त एव हि । 1. 5. .
. TMKS : अस्मिन् हन्धास्त एवार्थास्त एव ननु वाचकाः। 5. (2) TMS : ............बन्धमात्रविशेषतः।।
सन्तः सन्तोषमायान्तु......॥ I. 6. TMKS : गुम्फविज्ञानमात्रेण मम तुष्यन्तु सज्जनाः ॥ 5. (3) TM : ...भवत एव मया प्रदत्तः...यदा च नवयौवनश्रिया प्रतिपन्नसर्वाङ्गा
स्तवाङ्गजो भविष्यति तदा तस्य भूषणार्थमुपनेतव्यः । p. 60 (16 ff). TMS : मया दत्तस्तवा?ऽसौ स्वाङ्गजस्यैव यौवने । I. 102
TMKS : अर्पणीयश्च भूषार्थ स्वाङ्गजस्यैव यौवने। 100. (4) TM : सर्वदा सौम्यपरिजनपरिवाराहम् । न मे नक्तञ्चराः सन्निधावपि चरन्ति ।
TM (N) p. 56 (9ff.) TMS : ......मत्पार्श्व सौम्य एव हि सेवते ॥ I. 59.
TMKS : ......मत्पार्श्व सौम्य एव हि सेवते ॥ 89. (5) TM : अस्य समामभूमिमवतरतोऽपि विषमदुग्र्गाणि गाहमानस्य विषमाटवीषु
विशतो...विशेषतः सन्निधापयितव्यः । 'TM (N) p. 60 (21 ff.) TMS : विधेयः सविधे चास्य दुर्गारण्यरणादिषु । I. 103 TMKS : विशेषात्सविधेयो दुर्गारण्यरणादिषु । 100.
