________________ 10 INTRODUCTION. In Trivikrama's Vritti on the Sûtras, which is designated Trivikramadevavirachita - Prakrita Vyakarana- Vritti, the following three verses occur and these are taken by Mr. Bhaṭṭanâtha Swâmîn as a decisive proof that the Sûtras are composed by Trivikrama himself : (1) प्रकृतेः संस्कृतात् साध्यमानात् सिद्धाच्च यद् भवेत् । प्राकृतस्यास्य लक्ष्यानुरोधि लक्ष्म प्रचक्ष्महे ॥ (2) प्राकृतपदार्थसार्थप्रास्यै निजसूत्रमार्गमनुजिगमिषताम् । वृत्तिर्यथार्थसि त्रिविक्रमेणागमक्रमात् क्रियते ॥ The third verse after the end of the work in the words 'संपूर्णमिदं प्राकृतव्याकरणम्' is as under :— (3) सप्रत्ययप्रकृतिसिद्धमदीर्घसूत्रसत्कारकं बहुविध क्रियमाप्तदेश्यम् । शब्दानुशासनमिदं प्रगुणप्रयोगं त्रैविक्रमं जपत मन्त्रमिवार्थसिद्ध्यै ॥ I shall translate each of these three and show what is in my opinion meant thereby. The first means: (1) We shall explain the characteristics, consistent with what is defined or explained in the Sûtras (consistent with what is given in the Sûtras), of those Prâkrita words which are derived from their original Sanskrit words whether in a formed (ready ) or formative stage. Mr. Bhattanâtha Swámin remarks on this verse—“ Trivikrama says that he is composing the Sûtras himself in the verse 'देश्यमार्ष च' &c. * Here प्रचक्ष्महे shows that Trivikrama is the author." Now the word प्रचक्ष्महे does not occur in the verse देश्यमार्ष च &c. which is as under:--- देश्यमार्षे च रूढत्वात् स्वतन्त्रत्वाच्च भूयसाम् । लक्षणं वक्ष्यते तस्य संप्रदायोपबोधकैः ॥ Nor does the above verse ( 1 ) प्रकृतेः in which the word प्रचक्ष्महे occurs show that Trivikrama is the author of the Sūtras. * Vide M. Bhattanatha Swamin's paper on Trivikrama and his followers in the Indian Antiquary, Vol. XI., pp. 219 and after ( August issue of 1911 ).
