v1.c3.20

Again, a portion of a verse of the Śāṅkhyāyana Śrauta-sūtra is quoted in the St. Petersburg Dictionary, but the full context is given in our dictionary, and it is stated thus: Śāṅkhyāyana Śrauta-sūtra, XVI, 18,13 (St. Pet. Dict.). Beyond this, it seems unnecessary to add the names of Messrs. Böhtlingk and Roth. Lastly, in cases of quotations from general literature, the extent of which cannot be indicated even by an approximate number of books, it was impossible in some instances to mention the author's name. Compare, for example, a ‘Glossary of Grecian Architecture’, an anonymous work; and Śilpaśāstra-sāra-saṁgrahaḥ Śivanārāyaṇātmajena prāchīna-granthebhyaḥ sāraṁ uddhṛitya prakāśitaḥ—‘Śilpaśāstra-sāra-saṁgraha’ compiled by collecting essential portions of the ancient treatises by a son of Śivanārāyaṇa; again, ‘Viśvakarma-jñāna’ corrected (saṁśodhita) by Kṛishṇa-śaṅkara-śāstrī: the author, if there were a real one beyond the mythical Viśvakarman (Creator of the Universe), is not stated anywhere in the treatise itself.
