In S. B. E. vol. II. pp. 196-197 the sūtras are arranged differently i. e. the first ends at 'saptame' and pañcame...ryaḥ is another sūtra. Though this method makes a good sense it is opposed to the explanation of Haradatta, who explains that the option allowed by the use of 'vā' in the sūtra applies only where there is pre-eminence of character and learning (i. e. in such a case rise is possible even in the 5th generation). - [Previous: v2.c19.151](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v2.c19.151) - [Next: v2.c19.153](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v2.c19.153) - [Up: v2.c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v2.c19) ## Linked texts (1) - [Gautamadharmasūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.kalpa.dharma.gautama.4.18) — Gautama (dharmasūtrakāra), Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v2.c19.152](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v2.c19.152) · Pramāṇa
