KARTTIKRY INUPRXKSA
पसलबरिबिजोवणाहुतणे सुभगया बरोयत्तं । इटेहि य संजोगो भसासर्य जीवियम्वं च । इस संसारे रमणि जाणिऊण तमनि । निम्मि उजमेसु भम्मे बिल बलमरिंदोब।
d) INOIDENTAL EXPOSITION The Jaina poet is, alinost as a rule, a moralist and a teacher : obviously, therefore, the Caritas. Purānas nate to
wa short or long exposition of Anuprekşã whenever there is the context of dhyanut or neditation, suchyāyc or study, or saruarat or stoppage of Karmas,
$ a part of religious instruction for which soie Kārgas have a special chapter. Some important works in which Anuproksī is incidentally diseltssed may be noted here. This survey is only illustrative and not at all exhaustive.
The Varang carita' of Jațila is one of the earliest available Jaina Purinie Kavya in Sanskrit, assigned to c. 7th century A. D. Anupretsās are introduced bere os preliminary exercises prior to one's embarking on the life of renunciation in which dhyand (or meditation) is quite essential. This practical aspect perhaps expluins why Subhacandra and Amitagati preface their discourse on dhyan with an exposition of Anuprekşās. Jaţila's enumeration of Anugreşās (xxvii. 31 ) is not apparently complete. Esther he is not discouraing on them in the fixed order, or the order of verges in the present-day text is not well preserved. It is charana-a. and anity«-«, that seem to have been chosen for detailed exposition with some well-known similes, Anityata is thus described (zavüi, 46-7): * 1) In Kannada two works wholly devoted to Anaprekpag are known: i) The Vine sambodhare of Bandhavarna is divided in 12 Adhiktras, each covering one Anaprekfi. According to expert opinion, it is foll of didaotia fervour and its style is grnoetal. The author does not give any biographical details beyond calling himself a Vastyottam. As he la mentioned by Maryerasa (A. P. 1508 ) Nigarăja (A. D. 1931 ) and Kamalabhava (A. A. D. 1236 ), be may be assigned to c. 1200 1, D. ii) The Dadasonuprokse of Vijayaņpa (Bangalore 1884) bse 12 Pariachedas and 1448 verses of the Eastgatya metre with some Kanada verses here and there. Vijayanna, the pupil of Prbvaktrti, completed this work at the request of Deyaršje, the Chief of Venmanabhavi ( place of that same near Dharwa), in the Beļuvalanadu of the Kuntala muntry in 4. D. 1448 (Bec Karpataka Kavisarite vol. 1 Bangalore 1924, pp. 3091., vol. II, Bangalore 1919, pp. 86f.). The contents of these two works deserve to be compared mutnally and with other Präkrit and Sanskrit works. In Meržthi also there are some treatises on Aoupreksiy, for instance the Duādalānuprekad of Gupakārti of the 10th century D., edited by Dr. V. JORHAPUBKAR (Sarimali X. 2, Bababali) 1959).
