The guild at Belgamve had its 500 edicts; this fact may show that they could frame bye-laws binding upon its members. Here again we find epigraphy corroborating the Smriti literature, for Manu ⁶² and Yājñavalkya ⁶³ lay down that the rules and regulations of the guilds were to be respected by the king, if they were not against public interest. - [Previous: c22.88](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c22.88) - [Next: c22.90](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c22.90) - [Up: c22](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c22) ## Cites (2) - [Mānava Dharmaśāstra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.dharma.manu) — Manu & Bhṛgu, Sanskrit - [Yājñavalkyasmṛti](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.dharma.yajnavalkya) — Yājñavalkya, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c22.89](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c22.89) · Pramāṇa
