found in an old work and indicate its implications for the original text: and language of PR. The work was published years back, yet so far nobody has noticed this citation and realized its importance because of its extremely corrupt character.
(2) Sahityamimamsa," an anonymous work on Sanskrit poetics, while treating Rasa in its sixth chapter describes Rīti, Vștti aad Jāti in that connection. The Jati is divided into three types Sanskrit, Prakrit and Apabhramsa, and the last one is subdivided as Superior (e. g. Avantya, Latiya), Middling (e. g. Abhira, Gurjara) and Inferior (e. g. Kasmira, Eastern). For the pure Lățiya Apabhramša Jāti the following illustration is given (we reproduce it exactly as is printed in the Trivandrum edition).

After some persevering efforts we partially succeded in recovering from this formless mass of letters word-and line-structures. It became obvious that the contents of the verse indicated that it was possibly derived from some poem about the deeds of Pșthvirāja Cāhuāna and Jayacanda Ratthauda. The metre was tentatively identified as Kavitta (i.e. Rola or Satpada). Guided by these facts, we scanned the Nagari Pracarinl Sabhâ edition of PR. and identified the Sahityamimāṁsā illustration as verse no. 1073 in the 61st Samaya. According to the concordance tables given by Gupta this verse is found in all the recensions of PR. except the Shortest recension (represented by the Dharanoj MS.) We give below first the Sahityamīmāṁsa verse as partialiy restored by us and thereafter Verse 61/1073.
