(d) The Dohākosa, published by Dr. Harprasad Shastri in his Bengali work Bauddhagāna Dohā, 1323, is full of Apabhramsa. The learded Shastri, however, considers it old 'Bāngālā, ' which is not the case. There are two collections of Dohas, (there are other metres also) one of Saroruha-vajra who subscribes himself Saraha in his Dohas, and the other of Kṛṣṇācāryapada and both are in Apbh.
From Saraha:
(4) Conclusion:
The Section has made it amply clear, that under the so-called Prâkrit literature, especially of the Jains, both published and unpublished and much valuable Apabhramśa lies burried. Some works, which in the Catalogues are simply dubbed Prakrit, might turn out to be Apabharamsa and others, rightly called Prakrit, might still contain some Apabhramsa quotations and stories of value from both the linguistic and literary points of view. It is also likely that the treasures at Pätaṇa, Khambayat and other strongholds of Jainism, might contain Apabhramsa works, yet unknown even to their blessee possessors. It is the duty of al right-minded Jains to make such works availabl to scholars who would publish them according to approved methods and subject them to literary and historical criticism.

II My attention was kindly drawn to this work by Sir George Grierson a couple
of years ago, but long illness prevented me from looking into it until recently.
In a very few places I have departed form the printed text. I am printing it with corrections and explanations elsewhere,
