Prakrit Verses in Sanskrit Works on Poetics
948. This gatha is already dealt with; vide SP S. No. (477.140) supra. Bhoja cites it here as an example of - i.e., interrogating or asking a person about anything; inquiring with (R) = interrogating a love's messenger about the paramour by asking thousand and one questions. See translation.
