कोऽप्यस्मिन्कवितागुणोऽस्ति कवयोऽप्येतद्वचोब्जालयः
कोऽसावत्र कविः कवीन्द्रगुणभद्राचार्यवर्यः स्वयम् ॥ ४३ ॥ इत्याचे भगवद्गृणभद्राचार्यप्रणीते त्रिषष्टिलक्षण-महापुराणसंग्रहे प्रशस्तिव्यावर्णनं
नाम सप्तसप्ततितमं पर्व ॥ ७७ ॥
मनोहर हैं, यह त्रेशठ शलाकापुरुषोंका व्याख्यान है, चरित्र वर्णन करनेका मानो समुद्र ही है, इसमें कोई अद्भुत कविताका गुण है, और कविलोग भी इसके वचनरूपी कमलों पर भ्रमरोंके समान आसक्त हैं, यथार्थमें इस ग्रन्थके रचयिता श्रीगुणभद्राचार्य स्वयं कोई अद्भुत कधि हैं ।।४।।
इस प्रकार ऋषि प्रणीत भगवद्गुणभद्राचार्य प्रणीत त्रिषष्टिलक्षण महापुराणके संग्रहमें प्रशस्तिका वर्णन करनेवाला सतहत्तरहाँ पर्व पूर्ण हुआ।
पुराणाब्धिरगम्योऽयमर्थवीचिविभूषितः ।
सर्वथा शरणं मन्ये गुणभद्रं महाकविम् ।। पारग्रामो जन्मभूमिर्यदीया
गल्लीलालो जन्मदाता यदीयः। पन्नालालः स्वल्पबुद्धिः स चाहं
टीकामेतामल्पबुद्धया चकार ।। मधुमासासितपक्षे शुक्र वारेऽपराह्णवेलायाम् । शून्याष्टचतुर्युग्म-वर्षे वीराब्दसंज्ञिते पूर्णा ।। ते ते जयन्तु विद्वान्सो वन्दनीयगुणाकराः ।
यत्कृपाकोणमालम्ब्य तीर्णोऽयं शास्त्रसागरः ।। येषां कृपाकोमलदृष्टिपातैः सुपुष्पिताभून्ममसूक्तिवल्ली। तान्प्रार्थये वर्णिगणेशपादान् फलोदय तत्र नतेन मूर्ना ॥ यस्यानुकम्पामृतपानतृप्ता बुधा न हीच्छन्ति सुधासमूहम् । भूयात्प्रमोदाय बुधाधिपानां गुणाम्बुराशिः स गुरुगणेशः ।।

## Praise

**576**

Is there any poetic merit in this work? Indeed, even poets are captivated by its words like bees drawn to lotus blossoms. Who is this poet? It is none other than the great Gunabhadracharya himself! || 43 ||

Thus ends the 77th chapter, the description of the praise, in the collection of the Trishattilakshana Mahapurana composed by the venerable Gunabhadracharya. || 77 ||

This explanation of the Trishattilakshana Purusha is captivating, a veritable ocean of character descriptions. It possesses an extraordinary poetic quality, and poets are drawn to its words like bees to lotus blossoms. Indeed, the author of this work, Shri Gunabhadracharya, is himself an extraordinary poet. || 4 ||

Thus ends the 77th chapter, the description of the praise, in the collection of the Trishattilakshana Mahapurana composed by the venerable Gunabhadracharya.

This ocean of Puranas is unfathomable, adorned with waves of meaning. I consider Gunabhadra, the great poet, my refuge in all matters. ||

Paragrama is his birthplace,
Gallilal his father.
Pannalal, of limited intellect, am I,
Who composed this commentary with my limited understanding. ||

Completed in the afternoon of a Friday, in the bright fortnight of the month of Madhu,
In the year 84, known as the Vira year. ||

May those learned ones, the sources of virtue, be victorious!
By relying on their compassionate gaze, I have crossed this ocean of scriptures. ||

May those whose compassionate gaze has caused my verses to blossom like flowers,
Be worshipped by me, the group of scholars, with my head bowed in gratitude. ||

Those who are satiated by the nectar of his compassion,
Do not desire the nectar of the gods.
May the ocean of virtue, Gunaganesh,
Be a source of joy for the lords of wisdom. ||
