v2.c17.93

“The language of these inscriptions shows the mixed dialect, consisting partly of Prākrit and partly of Sanskrit words and forms, as clearly as the formerly discovered documents. A fixed principle, according to which the mixture has been made, so far as I can see, is not discoverable.” (Ibid. para 3, first two sentences).
