The tradition which asserts that the Gautamtfya and Vasishtha Dharmasastras originally were the property of Vedic schools, studying the Sama-veda and the Rig-veda, has already been mentioned by Colebrooke in his Essay on the Mimamsa. It goes back to Kumirila, who adduces it in his Varttika on Mim4ss4-sfitra, 1, 3, 11 (Tantra-varttika, p. 179, Benares Sanskrit Series), The same author states there that the Dharmasastra of Sankha and Likhita belonged to the Vagasaneyins, P, xxxix, add at the end of note 3: ‘It is, however, found in some other Grshya-sfitras.’ P. lvii, add at the end of note 4: ‘The copy of the Munich MS. No. 83 has Wa.’

3lvii, add at the end of note 4: ‘The copy of the Munich MS. No. 83 has Wa.’ P. cxii, 1. 1. More important is the fact that Kumfrila, who, as I hold with Professor Max Miiller, cannot be placed later than 700 A.D., knew our Manu-smriti. In the portions of the Tantra-varttika, published in the Benares Sanskrit Series, I find the following verses quoted, i, 21> (p. 203, 1. 14); ii, r40 (p. 178, 1. 8); iv, 178 (p. 138, 1.17); v, 56 (p. x11, 1. 11)3 viii, 57 (p. 199, 1. 23); ix, 18a (p. 135, 1. 2); xi, 30(p. rro, 1.19); xi, 93 (p. 136,1.19)5 xi, 94 (p. 136, 1. 24); xi, 96” (p. 137, 1. 7); xii, 95 (p. 117, 1. 20); xii, 105, 106% (p. 80, 1.18). Most of these quotations show some variae lectiones, which, however, are not very important, and possibly, nay probably, are due to inaccuracy on Kumirila’s part. One verse, quoted p. 241, 1, 22, is not traceable in our Manu. Kuméarila names Manu throughout as the first and most venerable authority on the sacred law. His predecessor, the author of the metrical Tika, on the Mim4s4-s@tra, which he quotes at great length, holds the same opinion, and clearly and frequently alludes to our Manu-smriti. P. 11, ch. 1, ver. 19, add at the end of the note: ‘The idea that seven Purushas make up man, occurs Satapatha-brahmasa vl, 1, 1, 3, and 6, P. 32, ch. 11, v. 15, add at the end of the note: ‘The passages referred to in the text are quoted in the Sabarabhashya on Mim4vnsi-sfitra, Il, 4, 8. P. 33, ch. 1, v. 21, for ‘to the east of Prayfiga and to the west of Vinasana’ read ‘to the west of PrayZga and to the east of Vinasana.’ P. 39, ch. 11, v. 52, for ‘truthfulness, if he faces the east’ read ‘truthfulness, if he faces the north. P. 58, ch. 11, v. 151, for ‘old enough to be) fathers’ read ‘old enough to be his) fathers,’ 614 LAWS OF MANU. P. os wu NWN a] 0 Ve ye ba) P, P. 94, ch.

The passage quoted by Vig#anesvara on Yig#. 1, 217, is to the following effect: ‘When the moon stands in the (asterism) sacred to the manes (Magh44) and the sun in the (asterism) Hasta, that lunar day is sacred to Yama; it is called the elephant’s shadow.’ Another explanation of the same term from the MalamAsatattva, quoted in the Petersburg Dictionary, asserts that it means an eclipse of the sun. . 137, ch, IV, v. 55, after ‘let him not take off his garland’ add ‘ (with his own hands).’ . 141, Ch.
