________________ TMKU as well as at the end 2 of this compendium by way of the essence of the religious truths sought to be exemplified in the story of the TM in the opinion of the author of the TMKU. Moreover the author of the TMKU seems to be more anxious to devote more space to the elaboarte descriptions of Ayodhyā, king Megh. avahana, queen Madiravati, the Vidyadhara Muni, Vetala and so on, rather than preserving intact the important points of the story proper. Sometimes he has allowed himself to be careless when he fails to preserve even the correct nomenclature of a place like Manipura and of a cha. racter like Priyadarsana.s3 This work is, thus, a good illustration of a dexterous, but presumptous, hand spoiling an original classical piece of art, which in contrast, however, could be successfully epitomised by a lesser, but conscentious and artistic, hand of Pallipala Dhanapala. x Conclusion. It is clear from the above discussion that the present work bas been rightly adjudged, by Muni Shri Jianvijayaji, 84 as the best one 82 cf. TMKU 1977; 1882-86; and 1994 : इयत्कालमनेनाहं धृतः संसारवारके । इति द्वेषादिवात्यर्थं स मिथ्यात्वं व्यमूलयत् ॥१९७७॥ यः प्रभावनयान्नृणां हृदि मिथ्यादृशामपि । सम्यक्त्वं निजधर्मस्य प्रस्थानकमिव व्यधात् ॥१९८२॥ नृणां संदिग्धधर्माणां धर्मे शाश्वतनिश्चयम् । नित्यचेत्येषु नीतानां चक्रे यः परमार्हतः ॥१९८३॥ निशान्तनिर्मलस्वान्तदर्पणप्रतिबिम्बितम् । विश्वं विश्वं कदाप्येष ददर्श विममर्श च ॥१९८४॥ संसारस्यास्य विश्वासः क्रूरभ रिवास्ति न । पातयत्यङ्गिनः काष्ठां योऽध्यारूढान् परानपि ॥१९८५।। समायाता वयं तीरमित्याश्वास्यापि जन्मिनः । व्यावयं पातयत्याशु दुःखावर्ते भवोदधिः ॥१९८६।। मिथ्यादर्शनमूलदुर्गतिचतुःशाखासुखालीफल- . दुःकर्मद्रुमखण्डखण्डनकलादुमत्तदन्तावलाः । भव्यप्राणिशिवप्रयाणपटहध्वानैर्वचोमिर्जगत् प्रीणित्वा हरिवाहनप्रभृतयः स्वं श्रेयसं शिश्रियुः ॥१९९४॥ 83. cf.
