________________ 100 Last Folio, 158. (p. ८९). The fragment of folio 158 is the most important page in the SMK, though its loss is irreparable.. It contains a prasasti of the work and its author in three Sanskrit verses and four Prakrit Gathas. ŚṚNGARAMANJARIKATHA The metrical. Sanskrit verses help us to infer the number of missing letters. The first verse is in Malini metre. Thus: मधुरमसृणमुग्धस्निग्ध U UUUUUU UUUUUU - U --- U--- Jain Education International U--U प्रतिकलमति हर्षाद् भारती नृत्यतीव ॥ The next two verses are in the Sikharini metre.. इमां पश्य क्षोणीं वह U U U [भुजं ] गानामीशोऽपर इव स एनामरचयत् । कथामुर्वीनाथः प्रणत U U U नवा स्फीता या च प्रकृतिसुभगालङ्कृतिरपि स उक्तेरुल्लेखो U UU U U U U ---- UUUUU UUUUU UUU U U The Prakrit Gāthās are metrically correct. सिंगारमंजरि पाविऊण देवी सरस्सई अज्ज । मयरंदपा णम.. सिंगारमंजरि पाविऊण देवीऍ उअहं वाणीए । सोहग्गजसपडाया. • ऊणं जस, कंहविहु सिंगारमंजरि उअह । णियसोह [ग] वडाया : : U U ए [सिंगारमंजरि पावि ] ऊण वाणीए मणहरा ये वि । hoorajaसोहा भो. ॥४ ॥ १ For Private & Personal Use Only U ॥२ U - UUU -- ॥ UUU U .॥३ The last verse is in the Anustubh metre in Sanskrit: [व] त्सराणां शकद्विषः । कृतेयं भोजराजेन कथा [शृङगारमंजरी ] ॥ They described Goddess Sarasvati as being joyous on acquiring the valuable 'Śṛngāramañjarī' which is like her banner of good fortune and her ear-ornament. - UUU U कलितः !! It avers that Bhojarāja produced this Katha in Vikrama (lit. the enemy of the Sakas) Samvat. The missing letters in the verse are the greatest loss to the work, for they would have solved the problem of the date of the work. www.jainelibrary.org
