The Law Code of Yājñavalkya 1.1.14

1.1.14

uśanaḥśabdaparyanto dvandvaikavadbhāvaḥ | yājñavalkyapraṇītam idaṃ dharmaśāstram adhyetavyam ity abhiprāyaḥ | neyaṃ parisaṃkhyā kiṃ tu pradarśanārtham etat | ato baudhāyanāder api dharmaśāstratvam aviruddham | eteṣāṃ pratyekaṃ prāmāṇye 'pi sākāṅkṣāṇām ākāṅkṣāparipūraṇam anyataḥ kriyate | virodhe vikalpaḥ || 1.4-1.5 ||

Up to the word Uśanas there is a singular dvandva compound. The meaning is that this legal treatise composed by Yājñavalkya is to be studied. This is not an exhaustive enumeration, but this is merely illustrative; therefore, that Baudhāyana and others are also authors of legal treatises is not contradicted. Even though each of these possesses authoritativeness, the requirement of those that have an ellipsis or lack of completeness is fulfilled from another source. In case of conflict, there is an optional alternative. || 1.4-1.5
