In Manu's Code of Laws we read (viii. 168.): "What is given by force, what is by force enjoyed, by force caused to be written (lekhita), and all other things done by force, Manu has pronounced void." Here again we have clearly writing. But this is only another proof that this metrical paraphrase of the laws of the Mânavas is later than the Vedic age.
