Bhavasvámin, who amongst others commented it, is mentioned by Bhaṭṭa Bháskara, and is consequently placed by Burnell (p. 26) in the eighth century. According to Kielhorn, *Catalogue of S. MSS. in the South Division of the Bombay Pres.*, p. 8, there exists a commentary on it by Sáyaṇa also, for whom, indeed, it constituted the special text-book of the Yajus school to which he belonged; see Burnell, *Vaṅśa-Brāhmaṇa*, pp. ix.–xix. In Bühler's *Catalogue of MSS. from Guj.*, i. 182, 184, Anantadeva, Navahasta, and Śesha are also quoted as scholiasts. The exact compass of the entire work is not yet ascertained; the Baudháyana - Dharma - Sútra, which, according to Bühler, *Digest of Hindu Law*, i. p. xxi. (1867), forms part of the Śrauta-Sútra, as in the case of Ápastamba and Hiraṇyakeśi, was commented by Govindasvámin; see Burnell, p. 35.
