(THT eti) didaa faci (Hapa) i If any changes are found which are not discussed in this eighth chapter on the Prākrit languages, they can be explained by the (rules of the) Sanskrit language, laid down in the first seven chapters. e. g. (1) Ferreiferarure si 37: ça ael जयति सशेषा वराहश्वासदूरोत्क्षिप्ता पृथ्वी ॥ “The earth blown up by the breath of (the boar-incarnation of Vişņu, who resurrected it ) flourishes, with the sty (the Divine Serpent on whose hoods it is supported), appearing as if it is carrying an umbrella on the downward side to ward off the (rays of the) Sun shining below." Here Aaruppa is the illustration (of a Sanskrit form used in Prākrit). There is no Dative in Prākrit; the Dative here (in parcot) is derived from Sanskrit. Sometimes even where specific changes are laid down in Prakrit, we, frequently, come across formations based on Sanskrit. For instance, in Prakrit the word 384 in Locative singular has two forms 57 and aft, but sometimes there also occurs the form gefe (which is a purely Sanskrit form).
