Puratanaprabandhasangraha
This collection of ancient Prabandhas was published in 1936 A.D. as No. 2
of the Singhi Jaina Series. The full name of the work is "Prabandhacintāmaņi-
sambaddha-Purātanaprabandhasangraha " and was published as part II of the
PC. As stated in the Introduction by Muni Jinavijayajī, the learned editor, it
is a compilation of Prabandhas allied to the contents of the PC. from 5 MSS. of
unknown authorship and, containing as it does both historical and legendary
matter, is important for the study of ancient history and culture of Gujarāta.
At least some of these Prabandhas were composed in 1290 V.S. (c. 1232
A.D.) by Jinabhadra for Jayantasimha, son of minister Vastupāla. Ms. P is
dated 1528 V.S. (c. 1470 A.D.), mss.-B and BR appear respectively to be at
least 400 and 250 years old; ms. G is inferred by the editor to have been
written in the reign of Emperor Pherozeshah after 1407 V.S. (c. 1349 A.D.);
while the age of ms. Ps appears to be earlier than 1500 V.S. (c. 1442 A.D.).
Some Prabandhas from ms. B not pertaining to the contents of PC. have
been separately grouped and printed as an Appendix to the Introduction. The
matter of pp. 116-134, containing a sort of summary of some of the Prabandhas
of the PC., is taken from a sixth ms. about 300-400 years old.
The language appears to be more simple and archaic than that of PC.
and PK. and a few of these Prabandhas seem to be older than both PC. and PK.
upon which their authors might have drawn.
The references are, as usual, to the pages and lines in the text of the
Puratanaprabandhasangraha (PPS.) referred to above. The references from
the Appendix to the Introduction as well as a few from the footnotes to the
Introduction are preceded by the term "Int. so that they can easily be
distinguished from those from the text proper.
