CHAPTER V
PRAKRIT VERSES IN VYAKTIVIVEKA
As Mahimabhatta (first half of the 19th century ) wrote his work, Vyaktiviveka,' for demolishing the theory of dhvani it is but natural that he should reproduce most of the verses, cited in that work, in the course of his discussion. Out of a total of thirty seven Prakrit verses, eight are repetitions. That is, we have really twenty-nine Prakrit verses cited in Vyakti-viveka. Out of these twenty-nine verses twenty-three are directly reproduced from the Dhvanyā loka, as would be evident from the present study.
1) Ajja vi abhinna-muddo......
(p. 303) This line forms the second half of the famous verse from Vākpati's Gaidavaho :
आ-संसारं कइ-पुंगवेहि तद्दिअह-गहिअ-सारो वि। अज्ज वि अभिण्ण-मुद्दो व्व जअइ वाआ-परिप्फंदो ॥
-Gaüdavaho. 87 (आसंसारं कविपुङगवैः प्रतिदिवसगृहीतसारोऽपि ।
अद्याप्यभिन्नमुद्र इव जयति वाक्परिस्पन्दः ॥) 2) Atta ettha nimajjai......
(p. 403) अत्ता एत्थ णुमज्जइ एत्थ अहं दिअसअं पुलोएसु। मा पहिअ रत्ति-अंध अ सेज्जाए मह णुमज्जिहिसि ॥
-GS VII. 67 (श्वश्रूरत्र निषीदत्यत्राहं दिवसकं प्रलोकस्व ।
मा पथिक रात्र्यन्धक शय्यायामावयोनिषत्स्यसि ॥) This verse is for the first time cited in DHV ( p. 71, p. 132 ). 3) Asamappiam pi gahian......
(p. 448) This line forms the second half of the following verse from Sarvasena's Harivijaya, ( now lost):
चअंकरावअंसं छण-पसर-महग्य-मणहर-सरामोअं। असमप्पिरं (? अपणामिअं) पि गहिरं कुसुमसरेण महुमास-लच्छोएँ मुहं ॥
-Harivijaye (चूताकुरावतंसं क्षणप्रसरमहाघमनोहरसुरामोदम् ।
असमपितमपि (? अनर्पितमपि) गृहीतं कुसुमशरेण मधुमासलक्ष्म्या मुखम् ॥) This verse is first cited in DHV...... ( p. 298)
