A CRITICAL STUDY OF PAUMACARIYAM
In some cases 'sa' is changed into 'ha' and rarely into 'cha' :दिह - दिवस ६६ छिव - स्पृश ४६ । ७.
'Ga' is not only sometimes retained (rāga 12.28) but 'ka' is pretty frequently changed into 'ga' :
क - गविस १ । १६ आगास ११।११, जाणगी ११७।१८ गम्पियं ३४।४३.
This softening of 'ka' into 'ga' is sanctioned by Hemacandra (8.1.177). Pischel (202) observes this tendency in the Gaudavaho also.
Similarly hard cerebrals are also softened :
ट-ड कूड १।१६, तड ११६८, ठ-ढ कठिण ३८।२८, पीढ १०/४६.
There are only two instances of softening of 'ta', Udu = Rtu 16.86 & Kīyagaduddesa = Kritakrtauddeśa 4.71 in the PCV. Vararuci (2.7) mentions several instances of the change of 'ta' into 'da' under the principal Prakrit. Hemacandra also notes such instances (8.1.209). Even in the Setubandha 'udu' occurs several times (Pischel. 204 ) .
Sometimes the dentals are cerebralised :
त - पडाय ( पताका ७७।५८ ), थ - पढ़म ( प्रथम २६ | २२ ), द – उप्पाडि ( उत्पादित ४/५५ ) .
‘Ti' of affix ‘prati' is generally cerebralised :
सूर (प्रतिसूर्य १।६१), पडिसुइ ( प्रतिश्रुति ३ । ५० ), पडिलाहि ( प्रतिलभित ३५/७०)
Medial dental nasal is cerebralised regularly :
दसाणण १।६३, माणुस ६१८४, ठाण ३०।४७, अणन्न ३५।४१, प्रणन्द ७१।१८. Exception - नूनं १११ । २३.
In some words 'ra' is often changed into 'la' :
र—मुहल ( मुखर ८।२८०), सुकुमाल ५।१६४, चलण ४१।२६, प्रोरालियं (श्रौदारिकम् १०२८).
Hemacandra (8.1.254; 8.2.68, 123) and Varacuci (2.30) sanction it in the principal Prakrit language.
Sometimes 'da' is changed into 'la' :
ड-तला (तडाग ८६ | ६१ ), वेरूलिय ( वँर्य ३।७५), सोलस ( षोडश २।१२ ), नियल ( निगड २।११३)•
In some cases 'pa' and 'va' are changed into 'ma' :
प - म सुमिरण ( स्वप्न ११४९ ), नेमाल ( नेपाल ६८ । ६४), व – म वेसमण (वैश्रवण २४८)...
