v1.c6.s16.t1.5

In this work Atri is himself cited as an authority. Other authors and works quoted are: Āpastamba (p. 30), Yama (p. 41), Vyāsa (p. 24), Śaṅkha (pp. 22, 35), Śātātapa (p. 35). The Vedānta, Sāṅkhya, Yoga, Purāṇas, Bhāgavataḥ (p. 45) are mentioned. It contains (on p. 14) the verse ‘sadyaḥ patati māṁsena’ which is found in Vasiṣṭha Dh. S. (2. 27) with the words ‘athāpyudāharanti’. There are other verses also which occur elsewhere e. g. ‘atha cenmantravid’ occurs in Vasiṣṭha 11. 20, ‘tryahaṁ sāyaṁ tryahaṁ prātaḥ’ (p. 23) is also Manu XI. 211. On p. 26 occur the words ‘atrāpyudāharanti’ and so what follows is a quotation. On p. 32 there are three verses in another metre.
