INTRODUCTION
मायपि तिहन्ति निराणां न शाबतास्ते विभवाब तेषाम् । रूपादयस्तऽपि गुणाः क्षणेन सविपरम्भोदसमानमः ॥ समुस्थिवोऽस्त रविसम्युपैति विनाशमभ्येति पुनः प्रदीपः । पयोववन्द प्राचं प्रवाति सथा मनग्या प्रलय प्रयान्ति ॥
Uddyotadaguri in his Kuvalayamala, a remarkable Campũ in Prakrit, completed in A, D, 779. devotes quite incideotally nearly G2 cathās (6352) for the exposition of these Anuprekşās which he calls, it seenus, by the Danie Bhávanā. The verses have a tine flow, and the author is strikingly eloquent on the impurity of the body. He speaks of cityotā and aécranata thus:
सर्व इमणिपणपणियाविहवपरियण संपर्क। मागसु एत्य संगो होड बिमगो अमेण समै ॥ सुंदरि मासु इर्म जेण विनोगे बिताण णो दुखै । होइ विदेगणिसुद्धो सम्वमणि वितेमु जाकोरमसिलिंबो गहियो रोहे सीइपोएण। को तस्स होइसरणं वणमरो इम्ममाणस्स. तह पुस जीवइसणो दूसाहजरमरजवाहिसिंघहिं। पेप्पर विरसंतो चिय कत्तो सरणं भवे तस्स . एवंचितवंतस्स तस्मणो होर सालया बुद्धी । संसारभविग्यो धम्म पिब मग्गए सरणं ॥
The Mahüpuräna in Sanskrit by Jinggena-Gugabhadra (0.9th century A. D.) is a monumental work of encyclopaedic contents from which many subsequent authors have drawn their inspiration and details. At the context at which Paşpadanta introduces the exposition of 12 Anupreksās, Jinasena addy only a graphic description of the anityatra of sensāra, i.e., transient nature of worldly things, which is full of miseries in its various stages (XVII, 12-35). This is all conducive to samjegs and nirmedia; and naturally by reflecting on this Rşabha decides to leave the world for a life of renonciation. The monk Vajranābhi on his acceptance of prayopagyamicaras Sarhayāsce puts up with 22 parisuhticas, gets himself endowed with tenfold Dhurma, and reflects on 12 Anuprekşās (called here tattudnudhyana-bhavanak) which are all enumerated (tipula standing for loka) in the order adopted by the T.-sutra und duly explained (XI. 105-9), Anuprekņā along with Gupti etc, is the cause of Sarivara which Rsabha practised (XX.206). Anupreksis (also called Bhavana). are a part of Dharmyadhyāna (XX, 226, also XXI. 160) especially the apayavicaya (XXI, 142). Some verses of Jinasens nay be quoted here XVII. 12-15);
महो जगदिदं भरि श्रीस्तविद्धालरीचला यौवनं वपुरारोग्यमेश्वर्य च बलाबलम् ॥ रुपयौवनसौमाम्यमबोम्मत्तः पृथग्जनः । पनाति स्थायिनी बुदि किं वन्न न बिनश्वरम् ॥ संभ्यारागनिमा रूपशोमा तारुण्यमुजयलम् । पल्लवच्छवियरसचः परिम्लानिमुपाभुते ॥ पौवनं बनवल्लीमामिव पुर्य परिक्षयि । विषवल्लीनिभा भोगसंपदा भी जीवितम् ॥
