________________ dynasty till the coronation of king Kumarpal. The historical facts have been presented here. In the history of Gujarat, without mentioning the history of 'Choulukya Vansh' the ancient facts cannot be illuminated clearly. The second subject describes examples from the Siddha-Hem-Vyakaran. A narration of the characters of different kings in Choulukya dynasty is intermingled with different sutras from the grammar. The Acharya has done this successfully and given justice to both the subjects. This epic has twenty sections-sargas. The history of the Choulukya dynasty, the beginning of their reign, their rise and fall, the war between Gujarat and Malwa, life history of valiant men of Choulukya dynasty, the victories, political outlook and discipline of the Choulukya kings, their contribution in the political, social, religious and ethical fields in Gujarat, their faith in jainism and many such other subjects make this a real epic. Upadhyay Abhaytilak Gani has written a commentary on this epic in Vikram Samvat 1332 (A.D. 1276). Prakrit Dwyashray Kavya : This also has two subjects. One discusses the Prakrit sutras given in the eighth section of ‘Siddha-Hem-Shabdanushasan'. The Jain Education International 20 For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
