Vol. XVIII, '92-93 The Restored Text :
ताविज्जंतह पत्थरह, जह निव्वट्टइ लोहु ।
तह जीवह तव-तावियह, फिट्टइ कम्म-निरोहु ॥ Sanskrit Chāyā :
ताप्यमानात् प्रस्तरात्, यथा निर्वय॑ते लोहम् । तथा जीवस्य तपस्तापितस्य, नश्यति कर्म-निरोधः ॥
Foot Notes : 1. Under the Chandonuasana IV. 87, Hemacandra has noted that when a metre like वस्तुवदनक, रासावलय,
वस्तुक, मात्रा etc. are combined with the metres like कुकुम, कर्पूर, दोहा, द्विपदी etc., the two stanges forming
a one unit, the combinations are called Dvibhangi. 2. In the story of the potter Anaksa, the name of the merchant's daughter (p. 383), who becomes a queen
should be Khakkha. Kharakā is a mistake.
