The dharmasūtra of Śaṅkha-Likhita would appear, from the quotations in the *nibandhas*, to have closely resembled the other extant sūtras on dharma in style and contents. It embraced almost all the topics treated of in Gautama or Āpastamba. It agrees very closely with the words of Gautama and Baudhāyana in several places.¹³⁶ It is curious to note that a quotation from Śaṅkha containing the names of writers of smṛtis cites Śaṅkha-Likhita as authority.¹³⁷
