I wonder, have you actually seen a copy of this text? If
not, then I would be doubtful about whether the title
implies that it includes a Sanskrit translation. I should
have thought it would mean "Dhammapada muulapaalii, Sanskrit
parallel passages (chAyA), and (aur) Hindi translation (anuvAda)."
Best wishes,
