(vii) a V峁泃ti on the Sastra-v膩rtt膩-samuccaya of Haribha-
dras奴ri; and (viii) a revision and reconstruction of the
Ny膩sa commentary composed by Hemacandra himself on his
own work on Grammar.
34 The Par茫ga commentary richly wafts the fragrance
of scholarly and sympathetic understanding over the equ-
ally scholarly literary garden of the TM full of rich
growther of compounds and skillful paronomasia. The commen
ntator has taken pains to elaborate the meaning of almost
all the words worthy to be commented upon, specially as
it is the work of a great pundit-poet highly devoted to
35 Jainism. The author of the Par膩ga-viv峁泃i has really loved
to undertake such a work. 36.
'He has pointed out very minutely
to the figures of speech and the metres of all the intro-
ductory verses. One wonders why he has not kept up the
same spirit in the rest of the portion of the prose text
proper, where he confines himself to elaborating the
meaning, while rarely referring to the metres of the inter-
vening verses and the excellences of both the prose as well
as the metrical passages.
