History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v1.c6.s17.15

v1.c6.s17.15

As most of the writers of digests quote from memory and had recourse to mss. and not to standard editions, even well known verses are ascribed to different authors in different works. The verses 'bhrātṝṇām-aprajāḥ' &c. which are quoted as Nārada's (Nārada 16.25-26) in the Vyavahāramayūkha are attributed to Śaṅkha in the Madanapārijāta (p. 680). The three verses about *bandhus* are ascribed to Baudhāyana by Mādhava and to Vṛddhaśātātapa by the Madanapārijāta (p. 674).
