Extract

Mārkaṇḍēya in his Prākṛtasarvasva, i, 4, discusses the various kinds of Apabhraṁśa. In the commentary he quotes an unknown author (see Pischel, Pr. Gr., § 3, note 1) who gives a list of no less than twenty-seven, but he says that really there are only three, Nāgara, Vrācaḍa, and Upanāgara. He does not consider the others as different dialects, because their variations from the Standard are very slight.

page 877 note 1 Metre apparently originally upajāti. If words enclosed in square brackets are omitted the metre of the lines becomes nearly correct, but I cannot do this in all cases.

page 877 note 2 I am unable to correct the metre of this.

page 877 note 3 Ditto.

page 877 note 4 I am indebted to Professor Hultzsch for suggesting this interpretation. Both ḍā and ḍī are commonly heard at the present day in Rājasthānī. Part of Pañcāla corresponded to the modern North Rājputānā.
