KĀRTTIKEYANUPREKŞA
Jain, Lucknow. It is a well preserved Ms. written on indigenous paper. It cantains gāthās and the Vacanikā of Jayacandra in Hindi. It measures 54 by 11.4 inches. In all it has 161 folios. There are ten lines on each page and 40 to 45 letters in each line. The Devanāgarī writing is uniform. Marginal lines, opening and concluding sentences, topical and metrical titles, daņdas, numerals etc. are in red ink. Variants for the gāthās only are noted. The Ms. opens thus : ॥६॥ओं नमः सिद्धेभ्यः ।। अथ वांमि कार्तिकेयानुप्रेक्षानाम ग्रंथकी देशभाषामयवचनिका लिखिये है ॥ दोहा ॥ प्रथमरिषभ ete. After the prasasti of Jayacandra (already printed in the Bombay edition) the Ms. adds at the end the following sentence : मासोतमासे उत्तममासे फागुणमासे कृष्णपक्षे पंचमी सोमवार संवत ॥ १८८५ ॥ का ॥ इति श्री स्वामिकार्तिकेयानुप्रेक्षा नाम ग्रंथकी देशभाषामयवचनिका संपूर्ण ॥॥
Ga: This is a paper Ms. from the Digambara Jaina Mandira, Chaukapurivāli Gali, Lucknow, received by me along with the Ms. Sa described above. Though the leaves are brown and show patches of moisture, it is well preserved on the whole. It measures 12 by 6.1 inches and contains 210 folios written on both the sides excepting the first folio which has a blank page. It is written in uniform Devanāgari script the style of which is different from folio No. 172 onwards where the number of scribal errors also increases. The topical titles, dandas, nos. of gathās, marginal lines etc. are written in red ink but the running matter in black. The daņdas are not at the same places as in La. This Ms. is more accurate in Sanskrit portions than in Prakrit gathas. It begins with ॥ ६० ॥ श्रीपरमात्मने नमः ॥ and ends in this way : इति श्री स्वामिकार्तिकेयटीकायां त्रिविद्यविद्याधरषट्भाषाकविचक्रवर्तिभट्टारकश्रीशुभचंद्रविरचिताया धर्मानुप्रेक्षाया द्वादशोधिकारः ॥ १२॥
Pa: This is a paper Ms, from the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute, Poona, No. 290 of 1883-84. It measures 12.5 by 5.5 inches and contains 277 folios. Each page has ten lines, with about 40 letters in a line. In this Ms. the Prākrit text is accompanied by the Sanskrit commentary of Subhacandra. It is written in uniform Devanāgari hand in black ink; the marginal lines and some daņdas are in red ink; and reddish powder is rubbed over the gāthās, titles, quotations etc. Separation of words is indicated by small strokes on the head-lines both in the text and in the commentary. It begins thus : ॥ ६ ॥ ओ नमः सिद्धेभ्यः ॥ १ ॥ शुभचंद्र etc. and ends thus on p. 277 : इति श्रीस्वामिकार्तिकेयानुप्रेक्षायां त्रिविद्यविद्याधरषभाषाकविचक्रवर्तिश्रीशुभचंद्रविरचितटीकायां धर्मानुप्रेक्षायां द्वादशोधिकारः ॥ १२ ॥ अथ शुभसंवच्छरे संवत १७८४ पोससुदि ५ दिने लिपीकृतम् । लिखतं ब्राह्मण हरियाए पांषेडीका बासी पेमराजलिपीकृतम् । मंगलं भूयात् । श्रीः || Then in a different hand 7 दिवसामध्ये लिषाइतं ॥ सा xxx ह वालचंद सावडा कूसलस्यंधसुत् । श्लोक संख्या ७२५६ ॥॥ सोरठा ॥ पुस्तग लई लिषाय । खपरहेतकै कारण। पढे सुणै मनलाय ईह द्वादस जो भावना ॥१॥
