PUBLISHER'S NOTE
We are very happy to publish the Alaṁkāradappaņa, a work in poetics in Prakrit, in the L. D. Indology Publication Series. This work is datable to the 13th Cent. A. D. Despite efforts made, the author's name could not be known. The manuscript of the work, which is in the L. D. collection, sheds no light on the problem of authorship. The editing of the work, along with its translation in English, has been meticulously done by Prof. Dr. Harivallabh C. Bhayani, an eminent scholar in Prakrit and poetics. The Institute is highly grateful to him for accomplishing this task. We hope that this Publication will be useful to all those interested in Indological studies, and particularly to those working in the field of ancient Indian poetics.
