Prakrit and Apabhramsa Studies
Kavi, M., Bharatakośa, 1951, s. v. Sandhibandaḥ. The text of
the relevant passages of the Sğřgäraprakāśa is as under ; (I) yo' pabhramśanibandho mātrāchandobhirabhimato’lpadhiyām /
vācyah saḥ sandhibandhaś Caturmukhoktābdhimathanādiḥ // (Kavi's remarks : Sandhiriti paricchedasya nāma. Caturmu
khakştapadyāni Svayambhūnā prākṣtachandasyudāhṛtāni.) (2) Svanāmānkatā yathā svaprabandheșu Govinda-Caturmukh
ādinām.... Caturmukha-Govinda-Candrasekhara-isţadevatā
nāmārkatā ca pūrvokteșu pūrvoktānām. 2. Kavyānušāsana, K. M. edition, 337. 3. Raghavan, V., op. cit., $12. 4. Velankar, H. D., Svayambhūcchandas, 1962. .5. Premi, N., Jain Sāhitya aur Itihās, 1942, 392; Bhayani H.,
Paümacnriu, Part I, 1953, 51 and 125 (passage 57); Kochhad, H., Apabhramśa-Sāhitya 1957, 68. The Ms. of the Ritthanemicariu, in the MSS. collection at the Ailak Pannālāl Diga
mbar Jain Sarasvati Bhavan, Bomhay has also been consulted. 6. Svayambhūcchandas V 1, VIII 7. 30-35; Chandonuśāsana of
Hemacandra 1912, 38a, 1.13-16; Paümacariu, I. 74, 75, 78, 93. 7. It may be noted that in the Vikramorvasiya, Kālidāsa refers
fictiously to a dramatization of the episode of 'Lakşmisvayamvara' and this means that the Purāņic myth of the churning of the ocean was considered by him quite worthy of literary
treatment. 8. Kaïrāu Sayambhu mahāyariu, so sayaņa-sahāsahim pariyariu/
Caumuhahu cayāri muhāim jahim, su-kaittaņu sīsau kāim tahim//
Mahāpurāņa II (ed. P.L. Vaidya, 1940), 69, 1, 6-8. 9. vara-Paumacariu kiu su-kai-sedhi /
iya avara jāya dhara-valaya-vidhi // Ghattā : Caumuhu Doņu Sayambhu-kai
Pupphayantu puņu Viru bhaņu / Vāhuvalicariu I, 8, 20–21 cited by Kaslival, K., Prasasti-Samgrah, 1950, 142; also in Apabhraíśa-Sāhitya, 236. Vahuvalicariu I 8 is apparently based on Dhavala's Harivamba-Purāņa (probably before 11th cent.) 1.3 : See Apabhramsa-Sāhitya, 103-104.
