Gleanings from the Kuvalayamālā Kahā—II
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 December 2009
Extract
Section 1. General
Until the publication in the Gaekwar's Oriental Series XXXVII of the Apabhramśakvyatrayi (AKT) (edited with Sanskrit Introduction, Notes, and Appendices by the Jain pandit Lalchandra B. Gandhi) in 1927, the existence of prose Apabhramśa was unknown. This work, however, able though it is, is not much utilized or even consulted, and the extracts from the Kuvalayamālā Kahā, which he uses as illustrations, have never been discussed from a linguistic point of view. The whole of the Kuvalayamālā (as it is also called) has never been published, and it is an original work of linguistic importance.

page 1007 note 1 Kon. motavo is a hybrid form from *matabha, with rather rare developments, so that without further demonstration the derivation cannot be accepted with certainty. The derivation from patrābha is equally difficult for both madaha and mot.vo.
