It is quite likely that unaided by the knowledge of the language, meaning, word structure etc. of this passage the editor might have wrongly read some of the cha
racters in his original MS. 5. Pythviraja-rāsau, Appendix, p. nau.
The text of the verse as found in the MSS. of other recensions of PR. might be useful in restoring the original. 6. Säkiryanimaisa, Introduction. D. 6.
The Sahityamimāísa has been edited very carelessly and the printed text cont. ains numerous errors, as already observed by Raghavan (Strigāra Prakasa, pp. 93, 705). In this connection we may note a very queer fact that in the strange textual confusion we find in the portion beginning with the last line of p. 160 and ending with the fifth line on p. 161 we find a citation that can be identified as the beginning portion of the Dasaratha Jataka. (i. e. Jätāka no. 461.) If the text here is authentic, this would be quite a unique instance of a Pali citation in a Sanskrit
work on poetics. 7. Spagāra Prakasa, 1963, p. 93. 8. Srågāraprakasa, ed. by G. R. Josyer, vol. 1, p. 102-103. The illustrations are text
wally highly corrupt. For an attempt at restoration of their text see H. C. Bhayani,
The Apabhrarusa passages from Bhoja's Spågåraprakasa.' I-VIH, Journal of the
Oriental Institute, Baroda, 25,1976,355-357, 9. Published in Yalovijaya-grantha-mala, 2. I came across this verse accidentally in
R. Samkrtyayana's Hindt-Kavyadhāra, 1945, p. 394. . 10. Edited by Jinavijaya Muni, 1941. 11. Descriptions in a similar vein occur elsewhere also in the larger recension of PR.
Sce for example vv. 61/1059-1062 describing the march of Jayacamda's army.
