रासह कंधि चडावियह कब्भह लत्त सहस्स । आपहणे करि कम्मडां हिया विसरहि कस्स ॥ मरण ति बिहई बप्पडा धम्मि जि मुक्का रंक।
मुकिा सुसंचिा जेहिं पर ते तिणिवार निसंक॥ Here is a description of a city and its suburbs:
अहिरामारामवणाउलाई सुरसुरहिसमाण य गोउलाई। जहिं सयवर बावीस वराई वणसिरीअ रमणि केलीहराई । मयमत्तय मयगल गुलगुलंत वरतरलतुरय धपमपधपंत । जिहिं रहवर धोरणि धडहडंत फरफारक पाइक धमधमंत ॥ जहिं कूव मणोहर सरवराई नरनारीजण-घण-सुंदराई । रमणीअरमणि जणु अच्छराई जहिं वहई सरिभ किरिजलहराई ॥ जहि वसहि लोय अट्ठारहवन्न जहिं पउण-बहत्तरि-नवरन्न । जहिं पवरचहुई मनवहुह जलथलदीवंतरसत्थघट्ट ॥ जहिं नागर-सागर-किरिनिवास जहिं ठीक करई लीलाविलास ।
जहिं सुंदरमंदिर-देहुराई जणु सिच्छइं लच्छीहर-घराई ॥ At fol. 106 (b) begins the story of a king of Taksasila named Trivikrama. This runs over three folios, and is given as an illustration of the merits of obeisance to the Jina. The beginning of the story, which is interesting in itself, is quoted below:
अस्थि नामिण नयह तखसिल । पडि-वक्ख-वछयलसिलमणिसिलोह-सह-बसरहर । हरिणच्छिहरिशंकसहमहिलचक्कचंकमणमणहर ।
धणकण कंचन-रयण-निहि सुरपुरसरिसायाक ।
सेसु-फणावलि किं ठियउ परिरंभिवि पायाह॥ तहिं तिविक्कम २ अत्थि नरनाहु । तिअलोअविक्खाउ । जसि दलिय-सयक-बलिरायविक्कम सरपंकयसंगहिय मंखनावह तिविकम् ।
तास मंगलदेवि पिय कोमलकमलपयच्छि ।
रूवि विणिजिय रइरमणि कणयच्छवि नं उच्छि॥ __Apabhramsa quotations like रासहु कंधि चडावियई etc. or दिवसि पहिल्ला पाहण सोनासमुवीकार look like stray subhāsita verses, current in the author's time and show that there must have been a rich literature in Apabhramsa upon which he has largely drawu. The long story that he has quoted also cor this view.
IV The Tisatthimaha purisagunalankāra of Pupphadanta is an important work in Apabhramsa. It forms No. 370 in section x of the catalogue for the search of Mss. for the years 1879-80, and is entered as an incomplete Prākrit work in 304 foll. The Ms. is to be found in the Deccan College
5 That it was possibly Apbh. was kindly suggested to me by the Muni Maharaj Jinavijayaji of Poona. I am in search for other Mys of the work with a view to publish it.
