Grammar
Sesakrsna son of Nộsimha or Narasimha, different from Krsna Pandita, son of Narasimha or Sesa Nțsimha and
the author of Prakriyäkaumudi and Präkrtacandrikā. Subject - A grammar of the Prakrit language in verses. Begins - अलिकुलमंडितगंडं प्रत्यूहन्यूहतिमिरमार्तडम् ।
सिंदूरारुणशुंडादंडं तं बक्रतुंडमवलंबे ॥ १॥ श्रीनृसिंहगुरोर्नत्वा पदपंकजतल्लजम् ।
बिशदार्थां शिशुहितां कुर्वे प्राकृतचंद्रिकाम् ॥ ३॥ etc. Ends - तदिमां पदचंद्रिकानुजातां प्रगुणां प्राकृतचंद्रिका विदग्धाः ।
परिशील्य चिरादपास्ततापाः कविगोष्ठीषु विहारमातनुध्वम् ॥१॥ इति कृतिपरितोषप्रार्थनालंपटेन प्रकटितपरभागा शेषकृष्णेन सेयं । रचयतु गुरुतोषं शेषवंशावतंसं
गुरुमिह नरसिंहं प्रापिता तत् पदाब्जे ॥२॥ इत्याख्यातप्रक्रिया ॥ इति श्रीप्राकृतचंद्रिका संपूर्णा ॥ Thus it would be seen that Padacandrikā belongs to the same author and was written before Präkrtacandrikā.
