dahaty=ā=saptamaṁ kulaṁ (ibid., Vol. XXXI, pp. 248, 281; or yāvac=candra-divākarau—Vogel, Antiquities of Chamba State, I, p. 167). The first half is sometimes given as : Kanyāṁ=ekāṁ gavāṁ=ekāṁ bhūmer=ardhārdham=aṅgulam (Ind. Ant., Vol. XII, p. 203). Sometimes we have Gām=ekāṁ svarṇa-raktim=ca (Ep. Ind., Vol. XXVIII, p. 67, text line 38) or Gām=ekāṁ ratnikām==ekāṁ (ibid., Vol. XIII, p. 251, text lines 232-33). The stanza is found in the Bṛhaspatisaṁhitā, verse 40 (with rundhan for haran). Caṇḍeśvara’s Gṛhastharatnākara (Bibliotheca Indica, p. 514) assigns it to Yama while Viśvarūpa (Bālakrīḍā, Trivandrum Sanskrit Series, on the Yājñavalkyasmṛti, III, 252) quotes the second half as : apahṛtya dvij-āgrebhyo na cirād=vadhyate dhruvam.
