But they must be several thousands. In the three printed prakasas alone there are 467 quotations, out of which 251 are in Prakrit. In the 22nd prakasa the Prakrit quotations are three-fourths of the total verses quoted therein. A good edition of the whole of the शक्गारप्रकाश is sure to be of immense importance for the chronology of literary works, for the Prakrits and for the correct readings of many verses and above all for the unique theory of one rasa. Numerous works are ascribed to भोज. He seems to have written on धर्मशाख and is quoted by the मिताचरा (generally as पारेश्वर) and the दायभाग. In the राजमार्तण्ड (a commentary on the योगसूत्र) we read 'शम्दानामनुशासनं विदधता पातजले कुर्वता पृत्ि राज- मृगाक्ुसंच्कमपि व्यावन्वता बैधके। वाक्ेतोवपुर्षा मल: फयाभूरता मर्त्रेब येनोदतस्तस्प भीरणरङमल्नमृपतेवांचो जयन्त्युज्ज्वका:।।' (verse 4 Intro.). His astrono- mical work, the करय called राजमृगाक्ट, was probably composed in 1042-43. A. D. as it takes for its initial date the saka year 964.1 Dr. Bhandarkar ('Early History of the Deccan' p. 60)
