Prakrit Verses in Sanskrit Works on Poetics
Jacobi has omitted this stanza in his German translation of Almkāra-sarvasva (ZDMG, Vol. 57, 1903, p. 330), as he thought it to be too corrupt to allow him to venture a translation. The stanza in question is an example of Nidarśanā. I think the idea is as follows : Trying to deceive shrewd and wise people is as difficult as the balancing feat described in the first half. The word of 37 is obscure. The Chāyā in the N. S. edition (p. 100, foot-note 4), renders f-137 by ad. I do not find it in Buhler's Index of words in the Deśīnāmamālā. Hemacandra (Prakrit grammar 8.4.422) gives unf.137 the sense of C = foolish, ignorant. But this sense is not applicable in the present stanza."
* 33. Read in the second half of the Sanskrit chāyā in Vol. I 95647. Vimarsini
cites this as an example of Nidarśanā based on bimba-pratibimba-bhāva. ·
* 34. Vimarsini cites this găthā as an example of Sahokti based on śuddha-sāmānya
rūpatva (= vastuprativastubhāva). 37 PRH ERHALT: QERATHI54604
As the găthă stands, its first half is metrically defective.

37. This gāthī uses the following words with two meanings each, one applicable
