¹⁰⁶ On this, as well as on the contents and the division of the work, see my remarks in *I. St.*, v. 13-16, in accordance with communications received from Professor Cowell; cf. also Haug, *ibid.*, ix. 175. A Mánava Śrauta-Sútra is also cited in Bühler's *Catalogue of MSS. from Gujarát*, i. 188 (1871); it is in 322 foll. The manuscript edited in facsimile by Goldstücker under the title, ‘*Mánava Kalpa-Sútra, being a portion of this ancient work on Vaidik rites, together with the Commentary of Kumárilasvámin*’ (1861), gives but little of the text, the commentary quoting only the first words of the passages commented upon; whether the concluding words, ‘*Kumárelabháshyam samáptam*,’ really indicate that Kumárilasvámin was the author of the commentary seems still doubtful.
