Parallelisms between M. and the Mānavaśrāddhakalpa. The Mānava-śrāddhakalpa² however, discovered by Bühler and turned to account for this question by him, offers very numerous points of agreement with M. These interesting parallels however, refer only to a certain number of particular verses, while the ritual is quite different, and these verses might have been taken from M. because the Śrāddhakalpa on the whole seems to be a modern work in its present form and many other verses seem to have been taken from the Karmapradīpa and the Caturviṃśatipurāṇa³.
