'INTRODUCTION
paraphrase of vv. 24 and 79, VIII, Yoga. Further there are quotations in the author's own commentary on v. 5 and vv. 18-22, VIII, Yoga. which are also quotations in Jñanā. v. 2 (quoted), XXXVIII, p. 388 and v. 1 (quoted), p. 391 Jñānā. A later writer abridging a former work would not relegate to his commentary the verses quoted by the former writer in the text, for the simple reason that even the previous writer considers them sufficiently important to quote them in the body of the text. Here jñānā. considering the verses quoted in the commentary on Yoga. sufficiently important quotes the same in the body of the text. This is also a proof as to jñānā. borrowing from Yoga. as well as its commentary. It may be noted that the verses quoted either in the text or the commentary, ch. VIII, Yoga. are more or less faithfully reproduced in jñānā., while the verses which form part of the text of Yoga. even if quoted in Jñānā. are not reproduced there in the same words. Strangely enough there are some verses forming part of the text of both the said two works which are word for word the same except sometimes a slight difference in readings-see v. 37 and 69. VIII, Yoga. and vv. 46 and 100, XXXVIII, jñānā.; cf. also v. 5, X, Yoga, with v. 4 XXXIII, jñānā. We shall also note v. 79, VIII, Yoga. and v. 2 (quoted) p. 407, jñānā. as they are quotations in both the works and agree with a slight difference in reading viz. f37agrafa fati:' in Yoga. and 'zgryfa Fat: in jñānā. The verse 22, XXXVIII, Jõānā. is very important as it refers to another author or Acharya, who makes variations of letters in the Dhyāna of Mantrarāja or Mantrādhipa viz. 'Arham'. Comparing ch. VIII, Yoga. with ch. XXXVIII, jñānā. we find almost all the verses of Yoga. assimilated in Jñānā. but vv. 6 to 17 remain untouched. We think Jñāná. refers to this portion of Yoga. and its author Hemacandrācārya in the said v. 22. At several places jñānā. has added merely laudatory verses in the said ch. XXXVIII while expanding the matter taken from ch. VIII, Yoga. Jñānā. amplifies by expanding a single verse of Yoga. into two or more verses and adding Purāņic illustrations and resorting to figurative language and sometimes to
