The first verse of the Bṛhatkathā?

This verse from the Gāthāmuktāvalī (a collection of Prakrit verses based on the Sattasaī) is cited in at least three other places. It has been identified as the first verse (maṅgalācaraṇa) of the lost Bṛhatkathā of Guṇāḍhya. I give the other versions with some notes below.

पनमत पनअ-प्पकुपित-कोली-चलनग्ग-लग्ग-पटिबिंबं ।
तससु नख-तप्पनेसुं एकातस-तनु-थलं लुद्दं ॥
(Gāthāmuktāvalī 13)

Śabdānuśāsana 8.4.343, Sattasaī 163

विप्पिअआरउ जइ वि पिउ तो वि तं आणहि अज्जु ।
अग्गिण दड्ढा जइ वि घरु तो तें अग्गिं कज्जु ॥

जेण विणा ण जिविज्जइ अणुणिज्जइ सो कआवराहो वि ।
पत्ते वि णअरडाहे भण कस्स ण वल्लहो अग्गी ॥
