occasionally, where the MSS. now read v, the metre requires thus 
showing that the form y is a later one, due to subsequent copyists.* 
Now turning to Hema Chandra, we find that the usual form in 
the Apabramsa Prakrit is while by the side of it occasionally and 
occur.f 
Thus: ^ in

becomes at last morningIV, 362, 420. 
tr ys Wlftq I “ hence I know (that) it is 
Hari when he speaks before me,” IV, 391.

my beloved, then my pleasure is complete,” IV, 332, 420.

“As long as there is this perverse mode of business among men, so long 
let the evil man engage in it, but the good keeps aloof,” IV, 406. 
Here yj^?;, y^f^ and are evidently equivalent forms, an inflection 
of the pronominal base yi^, corresponding to (see H. C. IV, 401, 
418). In Chand this inflection occurs in the modified form or 
“ then,” “ now.” 
* There is a similar case. The termination of the third pers. sing, present in Hindi 
is now y ; the older form is y, and a still older form is The latter occasionally 
occurs in Chand; e. g., TI1£T *T ftlfl’ “the flock of vultures does not 
cease (following) behind,” XXXV, 22. Similarly Yf?; “ he is angry,” *TJV “it is 
spoilt,” in XXXV, 25. In XXYI, 52 *TY '3^g “men fly up in different 
places,” we have ^3^, for as the metre requires, which shows that Chand 
must have written ^3-gy. The form in is Prakrit* 
f In the examples quoted from Hemachandra, I have substituted the anunasiJca 
( ) in several places for the anmvdra which appears in the printed edition of Prof. 
Pischel, who follows herein the MSS. That the former is correct, is shown by the metre, 
which is the well-known doJid in all those examples. Prosodically the difference 
between the two sounds is great, the anusvdra making the preceding vowel long by 
position , while the anunasiJca has no such effect. In writing Natives are apt to over¬ 
look this difference, but never in pronunciation. —In the second example (from IV, 391) 
the printed edition (and MSS.) has YYft which, as the metre shows, should be Yig 
(cf. H. C. IV, 362).—In the sixth example (from IV, 406) Y?i does not represent the 
Skr. yf?r “it goes,” as Trivikrama’s commentary erroneously translates, but the Skr. 
yyy ( nom. sing. fem. of “that” (see H, C. IV, 363); it qualifies
