History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v1.c6.s7.11

v1.c6.s7.11

Āpastamba quotes, besides the Saṃhitās, the Brāhmaṇas very frequently (e. g., I. 1. 1. 10-11, I. 1. 3. 9, I. 1. 3. 26, I. 2. 7. 7, I. 2. 7. 11, I. 3. 10. 8). He quotes the Vājasaneyaka (I. 5. 17. 31) and the Vājasaneyi-brāhmaṇa (I. 4. 12. 3 on svādhyāya), he speaks of the Upaniṣads (II. 2. 5. 1), his quotations (II. 2. 3. 16-II. 2. 4. 1-9) from the Tai. Āraṇyaka agree, according to Bühler, with the text current in the Āndhra country. He speaks of the six *aṅgas* of the Veda (II. 4. 8. 10) and in the next sūtra enumerates Chandas, Kalpa, grammar, Jyotiṣa, Nirukta, Śikṣā, (phonetics) and Chandoviciti (metrics), which are seven (Śikṣā being probably intended to be included in grammar). There are passages in Āpastamba which agree with the Nirukta, e. g. the definition of ācārya⁸⁶.
