Sanskrit Sahityaśāstra
[ सखीजन-हस्ताद् मुखं दर- रचित - विशेषकमपि आक्षिप्य ।
युवतिभिः प्रतिनिवृत्तोऽवबोध्यते (पा. भे. संदिश्यते) ससंभ्रमं दूतीजनः ॥ ]
Over and above these verses in the skandhaka metre which definitely belong to HV, there are not less than twenty-five verses in the skandhaka metre that are cited by Bhoja in his SP as illustrations. It is not unlikely that they all are drawn from HV.
SB, which is modelled on HV, treats in Canto X of the sunset, the nightfall, moonrise, a pair of Cakravāka birds separated from each other, the amorous activities of the nayikās, aided by their messenger girls, their maiden friends, their mana (sulky wrath) in its various aspects. There are many verses over and above those discussed above which are in Mahārāștri Prakrit and are composed in the skandhaka metre and treat of these and similar topics. They are not found in SB. As Bhoja has freely drawn on HV to illustrate the points of poetics as shown above, we may not be wrong in holding that these verses which reveal identity of ideas, phrases, turns of expression, diction, style and metre are also drawn from HV. Some of these verses are quite corrupt and obscure. Leaving out these verses, I reproduce below others with necessary corrections and adding Sanskrit chāyā.
