Prakrit Verses in Sanskrit Works on Poetics अत्र नवपूर्णिमामृगाङ्कस्य कस्त्वमसीति प्रश्नात् क्षणरागिता नवपूर्णिमामृगाङ्कवदर्थतोऽवगम्यते इत्यार्थमौपम्यम् । तदेव च का प्रदोष रजनीव तवाद्येति द्वितीयार्धे चोपोदलितम् । - प्र. १५.
10. Sobhākara cites this gātha in the course of his discussion relating to his newly
discovered figure Pratimā. He declares that the figure contained in this gāthā is Apahnuti. He thus comments: --- इत्यादौ शीतलत्वादिहारधर्मसंबन्धेऽपि सामानाधिकरण्यनिर्देशात् ... "सो च्चिअ (मुत्ता - ) हारो" इति मुख्यनिषेधाचापहनुतत्यादय एव । - पृ. १६.

half is read as दीसइ (णिअ -) मउड-ससिखंडो, we have the normal gāthā metre (12 + 18, 12 + 15 matras). Sobhakara cites this gatha as an example of his newly discovered figure Vinoda. After citing it he comments: अत्र गौर्याः पराङ्मुखीत्वेन कपोलस्यादर्शने तत्सदृशशशिखण्डविलोकनेनोत्कण्ठातिवाहनम् । - पृ. २४. . faris - a diversion, an amusement, any amusing pursuit or occupation.
15. According to poetic convention, fame is always described as white; ksirodadhi
= the sea of milk (which is naturally white). "Seeing today the very long (and extensive) stream of your fame, O, King, we satisfied our (deep) longing for seeing the milky ocean." Read : अत्राननुभूतस्य क्षीरोदधे: कीर्तिप्रवाहदर्शनेनोत्कण्ठाया अतिवाहनम् । - शोभाकर, पृ. २४.
