________________ CHANDANUSASANA The Chandānušāsana was composed after the Kävyänu$āsana as we learn from the first verse but before the Viveka on Kāvyānušāsana, as the Viveka refers to it It consists of about 746 sūtras divided into 8 adhyāyas As usual the commentary is lucid and interesting The information that it gives on the Prakrit and especially the Apabhramsa metres is invaluable and is likely to throw much light on the history of metres used in different modern Indian languages The illustrative stanzas also deserve attention, especially the Prakrit and Apabhramsa ones. The poetic quality of many of these verses is really high Hemacandra was not only a great writer of sástras but a great writer of good poetry also
