काव्यमीमांसा (महाकवि राजशेखर - कवि-रहस्य एवं देश-विभाग सटीक)

TENTH ADHYĀYA 197
भिनिवेशिन्यः । The word समागधभाषा may be taken to mean a language
along with the Māgadhī language.
l. 10. अतिरात्रादिषु=overnights.
l. 14. तृतीयवर्जम्=excepting the letter स, which is the third of
ऊष्म letters शषसह.
l. 15. Construe as परुषाक्षर and संयोगाक्षर.
*[ l. 17. कुन्तलेषु सातवाहनः Cf. कर्त्तर्या कुन्तलः शातकर्णिः शातवाहनो ( वा. काम.
सू. 2. 7. 28 ). Cf. राएण विरइए कुन्तलजणवयवइणेण हालेण. ] ( Introduction
of the Gāthāsaptas'atī ).
l. 17. सातवाहन seems to be another name of हाल who is the
author of the गाथासप्तशती and ruled the Kuntala country. The
compilation of this Mahārāṣṭrī Prākṛta Kośa itself stands as a
proof of his love for that Prākṛta language. S'rīpālita was his
court-poet and several Gāthās of his are incorporated in the Gāthā-
Kośa by Hāla S'ātavāhana. Here the word प्राकृतभाषा denotes
महाराष्ट्रीप्राकृत because the Kuntala country is included in Māhārāṣṭra,
and also because the other two Prākṛtas S'aurasenī and Māgadhī
are already mentioned. Regarding the king Hāla and the poet
S'rīpālita see infra.
*[ l. 19. श्रूयते चोज्जयिन्यां.
cf. केऽभूवन्नाढ्यराजस्य राज्ये प्राकृतभाषिणः ।
काले श्रीसाहसाङ्कस्य के न संस्कृतवादिनः ॥
सरस्वतीकण्ठाभरण. II. 15 ].
l. 19. There were, however, several Vikramādityas in ancient
times, and the word Vikramāditya being an epithet, the most power-
ful kings could always assume that title. There is a verse in the
Gāthāsaptaśatī (cir. 1st century A. D.) where the author mentions
the name of a king Vikramāditya.
cf. संवाहणसुहरसतोसिएण देन्तेण तुह करे लक्खम् ।
चलणेण विक्कमाइत्तचरिअं अणुसिक्खियं तिस्सा ॥ (5. 64)
Sāhasāṅka here seems to be the same as Candragupta
Vikramāditya II of the Gupta dynasty, who also assumed the
title of Vikramāṅka which appears on his coins. The name
Sāhasāṅka is further justified by the story of the Devīcandra-
gupta and the Sanjan Copperplates where the daring actions of
Candragupta II are recorded. Rājaśekhara makes it clear on
