Sanskrit Sahityasastra
"Paluddisi..dolvapaitthä (?)" This, too, proved of little use in tracing the original verse. Someśvara's Sanketa on Kavyaprakasa (II-14, p. 24) quotes part of the rele vant passage from Locana wherein the Apabhramhsa verse occurs and correctly presents one half of the verse: "Lavanņujjilangu ghari dhollu paittha." The whole verse, however, is for the first time cited correctly in Kalpa-latäviveka (p. 123, 11 26-27) as follows:
Divadi tellu nähi palu drammi gamitṭhā | Lavanņujjalangu ghari Dhollu paitha
[Sanskrit Chāyā:
Dipake tailath nästi palam dramam gaveşitam | Lavanyojjvalängo grhe priyatamaḥ pravistab
]
One more passage from Locana may be cited here in this connection. Locana (p. 176) reads :
"Osuru Sumthi....tena u"
The text of the first quarter of this Apabhramsa verse is obviously corrupt. Kalpalataviveka (p. 127, 1.17) records the pratika of this verse as "Usurusumbhiyãe." Desināmamālā explains "Usumbhiyam tatha Usurusumbhiyam ruddhagalamh codanamh." In the light of these two relevant and useful suggestions the verse could be restored
as:
Usurusumbhiyãe muhu cumbiu jena | Amiarasaghontaņu padijānju teņa |
157
[Sanskrit Chāyā:
Ruddhagalam rudatyāḥ mukham cumbitam yena | Amṛtarasaghotanam parijñātam tena ]
A part of the Chaya given by the commentator, viz., 'Irsyaśṛusobhitaya' is inaccurate.
Lost Prakrit Works
My efforts to trace the Prakrit verses to their sources have met with considerable success. Some verses still remain untraced. This is mainly due to the loss of some source books, like Sarvasena's Harivijaya, Ravaṇavijaya, Anandavardhana's Vişamabāṇalilā, Vākpati's Maahumathavijaya, Caturmukha's Abdhimathana, Maricavadha, etc. Available Prakrit Sources
Dr. Raghavan observes in his Magnum opus (Bhoja's Srngaraprakāśa, p. 822): "Almost all the Gathas of the Saptasatt seem to be quoted by him and a considerable number of the Gathas of the Lilavati also seem to be quoted in the Śr Pra."

I intend to bring out "Prakrit Verses in Alamkara Literature: A Critical Edition" in the near future.
