Contribution of Jainas to Sanskrit and Prakrit Literature
(3) ग्रीवाभङ्गाभिरामं० is read by Mammata and
Hemacandra, (4) चलापाङ्गां दृष्टि is read by Anandvardhan, Bhoja and
Hemacandra, and (5) अस्मान् साधु विचिन्त्य० is read by Bhoja and Hemacandra. while considering Mammata, we will try to look in for a special remark, if any, by any of his commentators. We will also consider the variants presented in the selected editions of the Abh. Śā. Our observations are noted as below; wherein we will mention, not the whole verses, but only the portion containing possible variants :
(1) का स्विदवगुण्ठनवती० Vamana, under 3.2.6. reads as: कास्विद् ....नातिपरिस्फुटलावण्या ।
मध्ये...किसलयमिव पाण्डुपत्राणाम् ।। Bhoja reads it twice, i.e. once each on p. 326 and p. 748. At both the places, we have का स्वित्०
नातिपरिस्फुटशरीरलावण्या But on p. 784, the second half of the verse reads as : किसलयमिव भाति पाण्डुपत्राणाम् । It is surprising that in one and the same edition at two places two variants are seen and not taken note of by the editor.
Different editions of the Abhi. Śã. show the following variants : B. (p. 80; verse V. 14) - कास्वित्०
० शरीरलावण्या...
• किसलयमिव पाण्डु० etc. J& R. (p. 163; verse V. 13) - का स्वित्०
० शरीरलावण्या...
. किसलयमिव पाण्डु० etc. These variants are also supported by Rāghava Bhatta (p. 163) U. (p. 198; verse verse V. 13) - का स्वित्०
. शरीरलावण्या...
. किसलयमिव पाण्डु०.... G. (p. 109; verse V. 13) -का स्वित्०
० शरीरलावण्या...
०किसलयमिव पाण्डु० ...
