¹ I read विधाने च, because these must be two different works, the Rigvidhâna and Pâdavidhâna, in order to complete the number of ten. The Rigvidhâna exists in MS. (E. I. H. 1723), and is not only written in Śaunaka's mixed Ślokas, but distinctly ascribed to him in the second verse: कर्मणामृषिदृष्टानां विधिं प्रोवाच शौनकः। The book ends with the words शौनकाय नमः। Nevertheless, in the form in which we have it, it is later than Śaunaka. The term Rigvidhâna is mentioned in the Taittirîyâranyaka.
