Hindu Law and Custom (Recht und Sitte) c7.209

c7.209

The text of the small Smṛti of Dakṣa is very well warranted for. Of the 200 Ślokas it consists of,¹ I have found 53 cited by Hamādri, and Kullūka, and in the Ratnākara, Viram., Mādhavīya and in the Mit. Of course, there is also a number of quotations which are not found in our Dakṣa, but in substance they are in conformity with the other texts and might have been left out of a work which is not protected by a commentary from corruptions through the carelessness of the scribe. On the other hand, Satī is recommended by this author too (4, 18).
