² Thus certain sections of the Śāṅkhāyana-Śrautasūtra are similar in style and character to the Brāhmaṇas (Weber, HIL., p. 54. Hillebrandt in the preface to his edition of the Śāṅkhāyana-Śrautasūtra). In the Baudhāyana-Kalpasūtra, too, there are numerous passages which read just like Brāhmaṇas. The Śrautasūtras were not however, written on the basis of the Brāhmaṇs, but on that of a long oral tradition; s. R. Löbbecke **Uber das Verhältnis der Brāhmaṇas und Śrautasūtren** Diss., Leipzig, 1908.
