¹¹³ Johäntgen in his valuable tract *Ueber das Gesetzbuch des Manu* (1863), p. 109, ff., has, from the geographical data in Manu, ii. 17, ff., fixed the territory between the Dṛishadvatí and Sarasvatí as the proper home of the Mánavas. This appears somewhat too strict. At any rate, the statements as to the extent of the Madhyadeśa which are found in the Pratijná-Pariśishṭa of the White Yajus point us for the latter more to the east; see my essay *Ueber das Pratijná-Sútra* (1872), pp. 101, 105.
