VAJJALAGGAM
III, Lexical:
(i) Deśya or provincial (i.e. regional) words have been mentioned by the author in st. 28 as one of the characteristics of Prākrit poetry. In the VL we find a number of Deśya or Deśī words (including Dhátvādesas) most of which are included in the Glossary of select words printed at the end of the present edition. Most of these Desi words are found recorded in Dhanapāla's Pāiyalacchiņāmamālā, Hemacandra's Desīnāmamālā and in the Dhātvädeśa section (HS. VIII.4.1-259) and other parts of his Prākrit Grammar. There are however some Deśya words (including Dhātvādeśas), which are used in the VL, but are not found recorded in any of the works mentioned ahove. For example :
Nouns: Elsen (277); $T (327); GET (559, 31*7, 284* 2); GET (251); 7 (318*1); Team (395): 716971 (445); ETT (51), 47781 (635); qet2 ( = 497) (24,28); 4%B4EA (561); 27 (689); 89 (206, 207); $9969 (15, 16*1); 9H (636); ATS (492); Eco (696); 414 (263*2); aan ( = yfiraifty ) (482); 7 (or 41) (181).
Dhātvādeśas : 319 (304, 312*4); EET (285); 91 (to speak) (81); 534753# (431, 373*1, 496*10); ss (718);=13 (300*2); 9095 (327); $9 (611); 6 (509); CE (625): 47 (295); 974747, 4TET (109, 136, 235, 445*3); 87971 (389*6); 4717(= a) (319); 6+ (520); Fuga (633); 1957 (240); Rui (792); <a (190); cela (389*4).
(ii) Words peculiar to Apabhramsa :
FF (= a) (70, 87) HS. VIII.4.420; FITE ( = 55H) (221); HS. VIII.4.423 records this word as Taal7929, i.e., having the sense of the sound produced while chewing or eating something (713). THE (= gia = gała) (296), HS. VIII.4.420.
afs ( = ) (628), HS. VIII.4.422. IV Syntactical :
(i) Use of the Accusative for the Locative (HS. VIII.5.137); FIÚ (Laber's reading) ( = 579) DES7 (124); 370g $ ( =*) (561); fogan (= furafen ) for an art (623).
(ii) Use of the Locative for the Instrumental ( due to the influence of Apabhrassa, according to Jacobi, Bhavisattak abā, Introd. p. 60*) (H$. VIII.3.135): fagad (= faft aft) fatal geft (87).
