THE SŪRYAŚATAKA OF MAYŪRA
śataka, but that no citation from Mayūra's writings seems to be
found in Böhtlingk's Indische Sprüche (2d ed., St. Petersburg,
1870-1873).
Among the grammatical works; I have noted that the Dur-
ghatavṛtti of Saraṇadeva cites portions of stanzas 2, 3, 25 and
52 of the Suryaśataka, in connection with comment on certain
grammatical peculiarities recorded by Panini. These citations
have been discussed in the notes to the stanzas where they occur.
As regards lexicographical works, it may be noted that odd or
unusual meanings and uses of certain words employed by
Mayura have caught the attention of more than one investigator.
For example, see Theodor Zachariae, Der Anekarthasamgraha
des Hemachandra, herausgegeben mit Auszügen aus dem Com-
mentare des Mahendra (published by the Vienna Akademie der
Wissenschaften as Band 1 of the series entitled Quellenwerke der
altindischen Lexikographie, Wien and Bombay, 1893), where are
given Mahendra's comments on the following words of the
Suryaśataka: stanza 1 of the Süryaśataka, the word jambha (see
page 47 of the commentary, in Zachariae's volume); stanza 2,
kalya and bhāskara (p. 53 and 143); stanza 4, yathā (p. 193);
stanza 6, argha, ghrāṇa, ghṛṇā, ghṛṇi, gharma (p. 12, 24, 49);
stanza 8, khara (p. 61); stanza 9, go (p. 3); stanza 71, akşa,
kübara (p. 79 and 139).
See also Theodor Zachariae, Der Mankhakośa (published as
Band 3 of the series cited in the preceding paragraph, Wien and
Bombay, 1897), the commentary on which cites the following
words from Mayura's poem: Süryaśataka, stanza 1, the words
bhānu, jambha, udaya (see pages 59, 76, 91 of the commentary, in
Zachariae's edition); stanza 2, kroḍa (p. 24); stanza 3, garbha
(p. 75); stanza 4, vita (p. 36); stanza 8, udgaḍha (p. 25); stanza
II, rãi (p. 94); stanza 12, prac (p. 16); stanza 23, varti (p. 37);
stanza 36, gandharva (p. 75); stanza 37, vāna (p. 60); stanza
71, dhur (p. 95).
