PAPERS
1. Samantabhadra, an Outstanding Personality (The S.D.J. Hostel Magazine, X, ii, pp. 24-8, Allahabad, 1929).
The personality of Samantabhadra, the great logician of the c. 2nd century A.D., is delineated on the basis of the glimpses that one gets from his various works.
2. Yogindradevaka cka aura Apabhramsa Grantha (Anckanta, in Hindi, 1, 8-10, pp. 544-8, Delhi, 1930).
The Dohapahuda of Yogindra (or Yogindu) is introduced here for the first time on the basis of a single Ms. from which some extracts are given in this paper.
3. Joindu and his Apabhraisa Works (Annals of the B.O.R.I., XII. 2, pp. 132-63, Poona, 1931).
The paper opens with a review of the published Apabhramsa works indicating how the study of Apabhramisa is indispensable for a student of modern Indo-Aryan languages. It aims to set forth a critical study of Joindu's Apabhramsa works, one more of which was lately discovered. The contents of Yogasāra, Paramātma-prakāśa, Sravakācāra-dohaka and Dohāpāhuda are summarised with relevant extracts. In the case of Sravakacaradohaka it is shown how there are three claimants for its authorship: Lakṣmidhara, Devasena, Jogendra. The authorship of Dohāpāhuda is claimed by Ramasimha as well as Yogendra. Many common verses are detected between the Paramatmaprakāśa and Dohāpāhuda. It is shown why Joindu should be rendered as Yogindu and not Yogindra. After some critical and comparative remarks on these texts, the question of the date of Joindu is attempted for the first time here. The later limit for his age is put by showing that authors like Brahmadeva, Jayasena, Heuacandra and Canda either refer to Joindu or quote from his works. It is pointed out that the Apabhramsa section from Hemacandra's Prakrit Grammar is indebted to the Paramatma-prakāśa.
4. Kanarese Words in Desi Lexicons (Annals of the B.O.R.I., XII, 3, pp. 274-84, Poona, 1931).
