(thus) Någarāja says that there are four 'yodha' ganas (-- -). Of this form is to be known a Lacchihara." Four - - to a pāda, and four such pādas constitute a Laksmidhara therefore. Our auother has, however, variations in the begining of a pāda thus:
(1) facetrato 4096 has vuv---------
fefecaraffa sagte qe has wow-, --,---,-vIn both the cases, the initial guru (-) is split up into two laghus (w).
(20) Mandara occurs only in one line of a Kadavaka in IV 1, 3. It is in fact a couplet and should have been written in two lines one below the other:

हार गंधा तहा कण्ण गंधा उणो कण्ण सद्दा तहा तो गुरूआ गणो। चारि जोहा गणा णाअराआ भणो

The following is from my essay of this name read at the First Oriental Conference, Poona, Nov. 1919, with modifications and additions.
2 Pischel, Materialien Zur Kenntnis des Apabhramba 1902, has put together and translated the Apbh. verses in Hemacandra, Sarasvali-kanthabharana and Vikramoroafi. This book was kindly lent to me by Dr, Zimmermann of St. Xavier's College, Bombay,
