BRIEF NOTES
with the different aspects of a metre. Our author's treatment of the topic is, however, very perfunctory; he explains only two, namely, Prastāra and Samkhyā, out of the six Pratyayas. Virahānka has given eight different kinds of a Prastāra out of which our author gives only one, namely, the Samudra, which is given at VJS. 6.20-22 and for which see Introduction to the new edition of the work, para 10. In v. 3 the Samkhyā of the Mātrā Vrttas only is explained, for which see VJS. 6.49 and its Introduction, para 17. In his introduction to v. 3 the commentator clearly says that the author has neglected the three Pratyayas, namely, Naşta, Uddista and Lagakriyā owing to Prakriyagaurava. As regards Adhvan, we do not know what our author had to say; the commentator merely observes at the end of his com mentary on v.3: jātyadhvayogas tu vșttādhvayogatulya eva iti noktah. "The adhvayoga of the Jātis is similar to that of the Vșttas and so it is not mentioned'. But where is the Vrtta-adhvayoga explained ? Is a verse missing from our manuscript like the concluding colophon ?
NOTES TO APP. I-Gāthālakṣaṇa. V. 4: This is found at Bharata's Nātyaśāstra 18.6; it was probably borrowed
by Nanditadhya from it. V. 39 : Cf. : PC. 49.4.8; this latter seems to be a close imitation of our
passage. V. 56: This is from the Karpūramañjarī II. 49. Vv. 16, 74, 78 and 80 are quoted without mentioning the source in the
commentary on the Sandeśarāsaka (SR.) edited by Dr. H. C. Bhayani in the Singhi Jain Granthamala, Bombay 1945, on pp. 2, 9, 49 and 37 respectively. The name Vastuka seems to be given to the strophic couplet at SR. 92 and 94, but according to both N. 80 and CK. 13 it is the name of the first member of it and is alternately called a Rodaka.
In this connection it is interesting to note that on SR. 19, the commentator quotes a definition of the strophic couplet Raddā in which the name Nanditadhya occurs, but it is not found in the work before us: It is as follows: जासु विरयणि हुंति पय पंच । पढम चिय पनरह य ।
बीय चारि गारह निरुद्ध(त्त)उ ॥ तह तीयइ पंचदह । रड्डुभेउ जाणहु सु सुद्धउ ॥ करहिय मोहिणि मियनणि । राहासेणु(णि) मुणिंदु ॥ अंतिहिं दोहउ जसु हवइ । कवि नंदड्ड भणंति ॥
