An untraced kArikA on demonstrative pronouns

[Dominic Goodall]

Dear Christophe,

This is neither about the ultimate source, nor about a likely proximate one, but it might be interesting to know that a very similar verse is quoted in the halantapuṃliṅga-prakaraṇa of the Prauḍhamanoramā.

Yours, 
Dominic
