Prakrit Verses in Sanskrit Works on Poetics
Please note that the restoration of the skandhaka is tentative.
1142. Read : Dāvamteņa --- (p. 1026) and in the chāyā 1989-9114. Bhoja cites this
gātha as an example of one of the mānopalaksanas, called Vikrta-vīksana, a glance or look with troubled eyes, a glance or look with contracted brows or with a frown.
1143. Bhoja cites this stanza as an example of one of the mānopalaksanas, called
asambhāṣaṇam - the act of not conversing with, not joining in a conversation. The găthā, as a whole, is pretty corrupt. The first half may be translated as follows : The newly married young bride, when addressed, does not reply to her husband.

If we retain मउअंव as it is, मउअं will have to be regarded as an adverb going with the verbal form (as) (Hafa). Under either of the two alternatives, the meaning remains practically the same."...
1146. Note: Read in the chāyā Ett for Efr. Bhoja cites this skandhaka as an example
of one of the mānopalaksanas, called dirgha-niśvāşa - a long or deep drawn sigh. Prof. M.V. Patwardhan's remarks : “1) I agree with your proposal to read 95TIT ( TIT:) for 20131TIT (Pqtir:). 2) I think #37-931 ( -ta:) is better than
37853 (746-ra:) --- 3) I think your view about the remaining of grafissur
