v1.c6.s29.2

The work often quotes the views of Uśanas, Manu, Pārāśarya, Aṅgiras, Yama, Hārīta. It quotes Manu III. 5 (asapiṇḍā ca yā etc.) and Manu 12. 95 (yā vedabāhyāḥ smṛtayaḥ). Two other verses which it contains are indicated as interpolated in several editions of Manu.⁴¹⁹ It says that the teachings of Arhat, Cārvāka and Buddhas delude people.⁴²⁰ Its position is that whatever is not found in the Veda or the Purāṇas, the Rāmāyaṇa, or Mahābhārata or in the śāstras of Manu and others is as good as non-existent.⁴²¹
