A History of Sanskrit Literature c12.41

c12.41

Fragments of a legal treatise in prose and verse, attributed to the brothers Çaṅkha and Likhita, who became proverbial for justice, have been similarly preserved. This work, which must have been extensive, and dealt with all branches of law, is already quoted as authoritative by Parāçara. The statement of Kumārila (700 A.D.) that it was connected with the Vājasaneyin school of the *White Yajurveda* is borne out by the quotations from it which have survived.
