History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v1.c6.s25.24

v1.c6.s25.24

The Vyavahāramātṛkā (p. 307) quotes a Bṛhat-Kātyāyana on the question of proof. The Dāyabhāga mentions a Vṛddha-Kātyāyana. The Sarasvatīvilāsa also quotes verses of Vṛddha-Kātyāyana on rescission of purchase and other topics (p. 320). In the present state of our knowledge it is very difficult to say whether these two are different works. The Caturvarga-cintāmaṇi (vol. III, part 2, p. 657) speaks of Upakātyāyana. Aparārka quotes a verse from śloka-Kātyāyana which is not found in the Karmapradīpa (Jīvānanda's ed.), but appears to be a summary of a prose passage quoted as Kātyāyana's immediately before by Aparārka.
