[^asterisk]: \* In the case of Manu, too, there would seem to have existed a Mánava Gṛihya-Sútra as its basis (?), and the reference to the great ancestor Manu would thus appear to be only a subsequent one (?). [This surmise of mine, expressed with diffidence here, above at pp. 19, 102, and in *I. St.*, i. 69, has since been generally accepted, and will, it is hoped, find full confirmation in the text of the Mán. Gṛihyas., which has meanwhile actually come to light. I have already pointed out one instance of agreement in language with the Yajus texts, in the word *abhinimrukta*; see *I. Str.*, ii. 209, 210.]
