³ Pischel, KG 209 says: "The poem, in which rhyme and alliteration play a great role, appears to go back to an original in Prākrit". This is hardly correct in the present form. The poet did not work on a particular Prākrit model, but his Sanskrit songs have been written in the form of songs in the popular language. [Cf. Keith, HSL, p. 197 f.; S. K. De, HSL, pp. 392 ff.; S. K. Chatterji, ODBL p. 24.]
