________________ 83 रारापतः खखाि कणभोजनोपि कामी भवत्यनुदिनं वद कोन हेतुः ॥ Merutniga has, in the first Pada, the variant dviradasakara, in the second, ratani kilaikavala. A still more varying reading is to be found in Bühlingk's Indischen Sprüchen No. 7044. To my knowledge there is no incontestable proof that the verse belongs to Hemacandra. 44. Prabhavakacaritra XXII, 184-380. The verse which Devabodhi is supposed to have composed in honour of Hemacandra reads: पातु वो हेमगोपालः कम्बलं दण्डमुद्वहन् । चद्दर्शनपशुग्रामं चास्य जैनगोचरे ॥ The same also occurs in the Prabandhacintamani, p. 227, where the first half is attributed to a post Vis'va'varn from Benares, and the second half to King Kumarapala. As regards Devabodhi, see page 39 and Note 78. 45. Prabhāvakacaritra XXII, 311–355. Hemacandra's worship of Ambika is orthodox, as this is worshipped as S'asanadevata by all Jainas. The verses which Hemacandra is supposed to have addressed to S'iva, are given below, Note 61. 46. Kumarapalacarita, pp. 55-57. 47. About the pilgrimage, see Probandkacintamani, pp. 160-161; about the story of Sajjana, ibid. pp. 159-160; the verse in honour of S'iva is to be found, ibid. p. 213. Indian Antiquary, vol. IV, p. 267. 49. Prabandhacintamani, pp. 156-157: आयुक्तः प्राणदो लोके वियुक्तो मुनिवल्लभः । संयुक्त सर्वधानिष्टः केवली खीषु वलभः ॥ 50. Prabandhacintamani, pp. 173-175. 51. Kumarapalaearita, pp. 37-38. The narrative has here the usual form of the Jainaparables The place of the action is S'ahkhapura, the merchant is called S'ahkha, and his wife Yas'omati. There is no talk of a courtesan, but the merchant takes a second wife, because he no longer loves the first one. There are also some Sanskrit and Prakrit verses woven in. 53. This second Hemacandra, who is often confused with Guru of Kumarapala, was the pupil of Abhayadeva, who founded the line of the Maladhärin, and belonged to the Pras'navahanakula, Madhyamasakha and the Harsapuriya Gaccha, Sometimes this Hemacandra is therefore called simply Maladhari-Hemacandra. He wrote: Jain Education International (1) Jivasamāsa, a Prakrit work with a Sanskrit Commentary, Peterson, First Report, App. I, p. 18 and Kielhorn, Report of 1880 1881, App, p. 93, No. 151. The Cambay MS. was written by the author himself in V. S. 1164. Dr. Peterson in his notes, Report, p. 63, attributed it erroneously to the grammarian Hemacandra and I, equally erroneously, agreed with this view in my criticism. (2) Bhavvabhavana, a Prakrit work with a Sanskrit Commentary, which was completed in V, S. 1170, ses Peterson, Third Report, App. 1, pp. 155-156, especially versen 6-11 of the Prasasti. (3) Uvasamāla, a Prakrit work, Peterson, First Report, App. I. p. 91, to which there. perhaps also belongs a Sanskrit Commentary written by the author himself, Peterson, Third Report, p. 176. (4) Satakavytli Vineyahiti, a Sanskrit Commentary on a Prakrit work of Sivas'arma-Süri. For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
