Vol.xix, 1975. (i) Ed.F.Kittel, Mangalore, 1875, I, V.67, p.22. (ii) The ka suffix in both “Apabhramsika' and 'Paisācika' in the authoris statement does not effect any alteration in the meaning of the two terms. This feature is found more frequently in Prakrit than in Sanskrit. (Vide Pischel, Camparative Grammar of Prakrit Languages, Varanasi 1957.598, p.409). Namisādhu (on Rudrata) also uses ‘Paisacika), Nägavarma too uses these two terms in the same spirit. Op.cit., Intro, p.VII. History of Kannada Language, Mysore, 1934, p.22.
