Introduction
This is an intelligent improvement on P. prakata II. 139 which runs thus : संता विसय जु परिहरइ बलि किज्जउँ हउँ तासु । सो दहवेण जि मुंडियउ सीसु खदिल्लड जासु ॥
The change of kijjau to kisu is quite intelligible, if we look at the sutra and its commentary: kriyah kisu kriya ity atasya kriyapadasya apabhram! kisu ity ādētā va bhavali kijjas is admitted as an optional form, and we get the illustration bali kijjud süanassu
ii) On iv. 427 Hema. quotes:
जिब्भि दिउ नाय वसि करहु जसु अधिन्न इँ अन्नई । मलि विणद विणिहे असे सुवकहिं पण्ण ॥
In spite of some differences there is no doubt that it is based and improved on P-prakata II. 140 which runs thus:
पंचहँ णायकु वसि करहु जेण होंति वसि अण्ण । मूल विण तरुवर अवसई सुक्कहिँ पष्ण ॥
Some of the differences are caused by the purpose for which it is quoted, and Pischel notes av, 1. mala which is the reading of P-prakata. The consecutive numbering of these two dohas in P.-prakata is not without some significance; and if any inference is possible therefrom, it indicates that Hemacandra has quoted these verses directly from P.-prakāŝa.
iii) On sutra iv 365 Hema quotes आवहो दट्ठ-कलेवरहो नं बाहिउ तं सार । जर उट्टब्भइ तो कुहइ अह उज्झ इ तो छारु ॥
The doha from P. -prakasa II. 147 runs thus :
55
बलि किउ माणुस - जम्मा देखतहँ पर साथ जई उट्ठब्भड तो कुहइ अह उज्झइ तो छारु ॥
line is exactly the same; and the first line is changed idama ayah' is to be illustrated.
The second because the sutra
iv)
Then on 1. 80 Hema quotes a short sentence 'vadraha-drahammi padia' which forms a part of P-prokala II. 117 that runs thus :
Jain Education International
ते चिय धण्णा ते चिय सप्पारसा ते जियंतु जियलोए । वोहदहम्मि पडियण तरंति जे चैव लीलाए ।
It is an important difference that Hema. retains in the conjunct group which is not shown by any of our Mss. This verse is not in Apabh., and moreover it is introduced with the words uktam ca: so its genuineness in our text can be suspected. I think, it might have been included in the text by Joir.du himself, because even the shortest even the shortest recension of P-prakata con
tains this verse
Comparison of Hema.'s Apabh, with that of P.-prakasa-It is clear from the above paragraph that Hema. has used P. prakata, and forms, etc. from it must have been useful to him in composing his Apabhramia rules.
