Hindu Law and Custom (Recht und Sitte) c7.263

c7.263

Hārīta³ appears in the quotations as the author of over 50 juridical Ślokas which are found neither in his Dharmasūtra (§3) nor in the metrical works ascribed to him (§8), and evidently they deal with the law of a very modern period. Thus he describes the course of judicial proceedings and the composition of plaints and answers with the same scholastic subtlety as Kāty. and others (1, 16-29, 31, 38 ff.) and distinguishes between five kinds of sureties in the law of debt (2, 11).
