20. Some Prakrit Forms from the Vasudevahindi not available
in Pischel's Prakrit Grammar onder Jain Mabārāstri
Dr. K. R. Chandra, Ahmedabad
Dr. Pischel has collected a rich variety of Prakrit forms under various Prakrit dialects in his Prakrit Grammar. But a study of the Vasudevahindi reveals that a number of JM forms have been left unrecorded and this was due to unavailability of sufficient JM literature to him at that time.
Dr. Alsdorf has already discovered some forms from the VH which are unrecorded under JM by Plschel. But still some more forms can be traced in the VH? which are unrecorded by Dr. Alsdorf and also do not find mention under JM in Pischel's Grammar though they are assigned to some other Prakrit dialects.
