कंपिय पय-भरि शेष रहिउ सिर डोलावर धरणिहिं ए सायर सयल बिलिय
विण साहीउ न जाइ तु । ड्रंक टोल गिरि-रंग तु | गलिय गंग-तरगतु ।
Jain Education International
हय-खुर- रवि ऊछलिय खेह छाइय रवि-मंडल |
घर धूजइ कलकलिय कोल कोपिठ काहड्डुल (१ आखंडल) |
टलटलिया गिरि-ट्रंक टोल सेचर खलमलिया । कडडिय कूरम- कंघ संधि सायर झलहलिया ॥ चल्लिय समहरि सेस सीसु सलसलिय न सक्कइ । कंचन- गिरि कंधार- भारि कमकमिय कसक्कइ ॥ कंपिय किन्नर कोड पडिय हर-गण हडहडिया | संकिय सुरवर सारंग सयल दाणव दडवडिया ॥
(Bharate, vv. 127-129) घमघमीय घरयल ससिय न सक्कइ सेस कुल्लगिरि कमकमई । (Bharate", v. 145c.)"
The aggressively heroic gesture also of twisting the moustache figures in the Bharateśvara-Bahubali-rāsa :
जोइय भरह नरिंद कटक मूंछह वल घल्लइ ।
(Bharate, v. 130c.)
'The sovereign Bharata, having taken a look at his (massive, powerful) army, gave a twist to his moustache.'
(Bharate, vv. 35-36)
In conclusion, we may observe that as in Jinavijaya Muni's considered opinion, Prthviraja-prabandha and Jayacamda-prabandha were a part of the core of the Prabandhas which formed the basis of the Puratana-prabandhasamgraha and which were composed by Jinacadra in 1290 V.S., we can assign Canda's Pṛthvīrāja rāsau to c. 1235 A.D. i.e. say within three or four decades after Prthvīrāja's death. This date accords well with the character of its language, which still preserved in the bardic tradition considerable features of literary Apabhramśa and hence was known to the author of the Sahityamimämsä as Lätiya Apabhramhsa,
