Prakrit and Apabhramsa Studies
P. S. Some of the Prakrit sources and a few of the Apabhramsa
sources noted here are also noticed and discussed by Friedhelm Hardy in his Viraha Bhakti (1983). But there are several other important sources pointed out here, which are absent in Hardy's discussion. Some of the implica tions of the Prakrit and Apabhramśa passages Hardy point out seem to me debatable. For Krşņa poetry in Apabhramsa see my earlier paper “Apabhraṁsa sāhitya mem Kệşņa-kāvya', referred to in fo. 5. Earlier KK. Shastri had drawn our attention to several of the above given references in his Gujarati book Narasimha Maheto (1971), pp. 36-41.
