The author Somaprabha, according to the Praśasti at the end of work, lived some time after Kumāra pāla and Hemacandra, as he says he wrote his work in Samvat 1241 i. e. A.D. 1185. __(d) Another work containing some Apbh. is the Upadesa-tarangini of Ratnamandriraganin, ed. H. B. Shah, Benares v. D. 2437. This a late work of promiscuous nature, full of Sanskrit and Prākrit quotations. The Sk. quotations are generally from the Mahabharata and Bhartrhari, and the Prākrit ones from different Āgama works and other sources. There is little that belongs to the author, but that little is written in bad Sanskrit. There are about twenty-five passages that can be strictly called Apbh.; there are some more which may be on the borderland of Apbh., and old Guj. or old Western Rājasthāni, as it is called by Dr. Tessitori. A few only are quoted here:
पत्तपरिक्खह किं करइ दिजह मग्गंताई।।
किं वरिसंतो अम्बुहर जोइ समविसमाई ॥p. 1 ररि गइंद डगमगिय चंद करमिलिय दिवायर इल्लिय महि हल्लि यह मेरु जलझंपिय सायरे । सुहरकोडि थरहरिय क्रूर कूरम कडकिम अनलविनल धसमसिभ पुहवि सहु प्रलय पलहिय ॥
गजंति गयण कवि आम भणि सरभणि सुरभणि फणमणि इकडूम।
मामहि हिमगहिममगहिमगहि मुंच मुंछ जयसिंह तुह ॥ p. 64 सुंदर सर अमराह हलि जल पीपलं वयणेहिं । उदयनरिद्वहिं कहीउ तीहं नारीनयणेहिं ॥ p.70 The last passage is between Apbh. old Gujarātī.
(c) The Supasanahacariyam of Laksmanagani parts I and II. ed. Pandit Hargovind Das Seth, Benares 1918, contains some Apbh. The third part is not yet out.
केवि मल्लव्व सजंति कमददुरं अवरि गायंति सहकंठरवसंदरं । केवि उत्तालतालाउलं रासयं कुहिं करनच्चियं अवरि वरहासयं ॥ केवि हरिमदुरा तियसगलदेडुरं कुणहिं हयहेसियं केवि सुइबंधुरं । केवि गयगजिय कुहि मयभिभलं अनि मुट्ठीहि पहरंति धरणीयलं ॥ etc p. 50 नय धिप्पइ ससणेहि नहु विणइहि गुणिहि । नहु बजइ नय माणिण नय चाहुयसइहि । नय स्वरकोमलवयणि न विहवि न जोव्वणिण । दुग्गेज्म मणु महिलहं चिंतह आयरिण ॥ p. 115 कईयावि महुरकळयंठकंठसजमाइ पयट्टइ। कईयावि गहियसअंधकुसुम देवश्चणि वइ । कईयावि बहुभवभमणभावण मणि भावइ ।
कईयावि सुदरम्मि जिणधम्मि लीणमणु गवइ ॥ p.116 Besides stray verses at about sixteen places, there are Apbh. passages of considerable length at pages 50, 190, 212, 286 and 440.
