Hemacandra","Chandovičiti” and “Alamkáracídamaņi", they were for the Jainas '-782',-'ara'- and 12-8997197's or the Sciences of Grammar, Prosody and Poetics respectively..
the Alamkāracudamani ("प्रणम्य परमात्मानं निजं काव्यानुशासनम् etc" which I am inclined to regard as the mangalācaraña of Baserचूडामणि and not of काव्यानुशासन which has its own mangala
Benfsa etc.') which speaks of '#162113=TIAT'as the name of the work of which 873EREAfo is the commentary. Against this, however, is to be set the statement at the commencement of faa "67&TISTIHEITI faan: sfarza" that faas is a commentary on काव्यानुशासन where by 'काव्यानुशासन ' we have to understand the सूत्र or कारिका-cum-अलङ्कारचूडामणि since विवेक is actually a commentary not on one but on both. This apparent inconsistency is to be explained as arising from the fact that Hemacandra first composed the Sūtras and gave them the title '615219aaa and to them he added an explanatory fat which he called 874381 TETAP, and the two together were intended to be the Šāstra of f1z7 ($TOPISTAR ').
A still more difficult question is -Is' (521ETAR' the name of the book or its description ? Possibly, it is the latter, meaping merely ' a work of Poetics' like to igraa' which means a work of Grammar' the proper name of the work being facet or fama(Cf 'FAAT AFATTENTICITA ' in the colophon of Hemacandra's Grammar. Cfalso what Hemacandra himself says under verse 2 of Fragana viz. ETETIQTIR femeazafia.) On the same lines, "grafaffet" and not 'BETERTIAR' would seem to be the name of the book, the latter being only a description meaning 'a work on prosody. And yet these books are known more by their descriptive Dames namely, BRERIAAs of different subjects, rather than by the proper Dames such as 'PAGEA ' etc.
