[BRIEF NOTES
not turn back from him.' The theme is the Mahābhārata war. This is
perhaps said by Karņa. 80: Kinnaramadhuravilāsa of Svayambhū and R. 119 is called
Kinnaramithunavilāsa by Hemacandra at HPk. 6.19.41. 82: Vidyādharalalitā of Svayambhu and R. 120 is the same as Hema
candra's Vidyadharalila at HPk. 6.19.42. 86: The Pāda of 11 Mātrās may be composed either with a Şaņmātra
and a Pañcamatra, or a Pañcamātra, a Caturmätra and a Dvimātra, or
a Caturmātra, a Trimātra and a Caturmātra. 87.1: 'When Droņa was crowned as the Commander-in-chief, both the
armies, having raised their different banners and being filled with martial spirit, kept themselves in readiness (for fighting). This is also ascribed to Caturmukha and is from a poem on the theme of the
Mahābhārata war. 90.1: "On hearing the sound of the (hoofs of the) horses, the eyes of the
she-boars repeatedly turned towards the pair of fangs of their lord.' They were so confident of the protection which they expected to get from their lord with powerful fangs.
This stanza is quoted as an illustration of chalika, in the Sarasvatikanthābharana, II. 392. bhunda or bhundaa is a 'boar'; bhundaaņi is a she-boar. The male leader of the flock of the she-boars was walking stately in front of them and his mates were casting their glances of love and pride for the valour of their lord. Chalika expresses a mixture of the sentiments of love and heroism. For attempts at the interpretation of the stanza, see Pischel, Materidlen zur Kentniss der Apabhraíśa; p. 38; Alsdorf, Apabhramśa Studien, p. 93; also see
Bhayani, Bharatiya Vidyā, 1945, p. 14, for its correct interpretation. 94: Our Suraālingana is the same as Sutaāligana of HPk. 6.20.103 and
R. 132.
96:
Perhaps read bhavane for bharane, in view of HPk. 6.20.104. R. 134 calls it merely Kankellilatā. Our ms. often confuses ra and va.
97: The Pada of 12 Mātrās is made either with a Şaņmātra, a Catur
mātra and a Dvimātra, or two Pañcamātras and a Dvimātra, or a Caturmātra, a Pañcamātra and a Trimātra, or three Caturmātras.
100.1 : 'In a battle the path of fighting is not abandoned ; who can turn
back from it while he is alive? What is to be done with a mere post
