THE INDIAN ANTIQUARY.
[JUNE, 1907.
We must give greater attention to the quotations which are to be found in grammatical, rhetorical, and other writings of India under the name of Padmagupta or Parimala. A number of sach quotations have been already collected by Peterson and Durgaprarada in the introduction to the Subhdshitavali, p. 51 ff. These quotations will now bave to be gone through with the greatest possible avoidance of unnecessary repetitions,
The phrase namo namah kavyarasdya tarmal in Subhashitdvali, No. 168, is taken from the introduction to the Narasdhasánkacharita, Sarga I., v. 13. The verse chitravartiny api mripe, which Dhanika quotes in the commentary to the Dasarúpa, II. 37 (compare Hall's publication, Preface, p. 86 n.; Petersburg Dictionary, Supplement under Padmagupta ), occurs Navasdh. 6, 42. This is the only verse which Peterson and Durgaprasada have found in the fragments accessible to them. All other verses, which have been quoted by these scholars chiefly from the Auchityavicharacharchd of Kshemendra, as belonging to the Parimala, do not appear in the Navasdhasdnkacharita, and must therefore, in so far as we do not accept another Parimala beside our Parimalâparanama Padmaguptaly, be derived from lost poems of Padmagapta's. One thing is still to be remarked that the stropbo adhakshin no Lankam can hardly belong to Parimala. In the work or works where it is ascribed to Parimala there is probably an error. It is to be remembered that the fourth Pads of the strophe (Hanumantam, fc.) is quoted by Ujjvaladatta (at Un I, 11, p. 6, 10, ed. Aafrecht) under the designation brihatprayoga. This expression means something like renowned example," "classical example." Is it to be accepted that Ujjvaladatta — or his authority - has honoured a passage from a work of Parimala's with this designation ?
In a systematic examination of certain classes of literature quite a number of quotations might perbaps be pointed out, either given under the name of Padmagupta (Parimala) or anonymous. There are indeed often verses quoted without daming the author, We can here fornish only a small supplement to the groups in the Subhashitavali (above referred to). Parimala is quoted (which Peterson and Durgaprasada bave overlooked ) also in Vardhamana's Ganaratnamahodadhi (p. 117. 7, ed. Eggeling): chápo dhanuḥ 1 yatha Parimalasya.
