Paper presented at the 30th Session of the All-India Oriental Conference held at the Visva Bharati University, Santiniketan in November, 1980 and published in the Annals of the Bhandarkar oriental Research Institute, Vol. LXII, 1981. In his Aindra School of Grammarians; vide Prof. Chennakeshava Aiyangar's preface to kesiraja's Sabdamanidarpana, Madras, 1973, p. 2.
It may be noted that Bhattakalanka treats of this subject in 22 sutras under Samasamskrta and Tadbhava in pada II of his work, whereas Nagavarman does not at all touch it in either of his two works.
All references to the sutras, verses, examples etc, are to thesame Madras-1973 edition.
Hence here the term apbhramsa has nothing to do with the linguistic stage (in Middle-Indo-Aryan) or with the literary dialect (in Prakrit) of the same nomenclature. For more details regarding this, vide Intro. to Historical Grammar of Apabhramsa, by Dr. G. V. Tagare, Punc, 1948, pp. 1-15. (i) John Beams has noted such features in Vararuc's method of treatment of the tadbhavas in Prakrit. Vide comparative Grammar of Modern Aryan Languages of India, Vol. I, London, 1972, pp. 136, 1973-1974 etc., (ii) And such features are also found in other Prakrit grammatical works. (iii) Kesiraja seems to have beeninfluenced in this chapter by vararuci's Prakrta Prakasa.
