⁴⁹⁹ यत्र साक्षी दिशं गच्छेदन्मुखर्मुर्धुर्वा यथाक्रमम् । अन्यं संभावयेत्तं तु विद्यादुत्तरसाक्षिणम् ॥ बृह. in अपरार्क p. 666; साक्षिणामपि यः साक्ष्यमुपर्युपरि भाषते । श्रवणाच्छ्रावणाद्वापि स साक्ष्यउत्तरसंज्ञितः ॥ कात्या. q. by मिता. on या. II. 68. Dr. Jolly's rendering of Kāt. in S. B. E. 33 p. 80 n. is not correct. Vide my notes to व्यवहारमयूख pp. 66-67. The व्यवहारतत्त्व reads ' यत्साक्ष्यं स्वपक्षं परिभावताम् । श्रव० ;' vide the विष्णुधर्मसूत्र VIII. 12 quoted in n. 481 which refers to a witness that is the same as उत्तर. Compare sec. 32 of the Indian Evidence Act about verbal or written statements of a person who is dead or whose attendance cannot be procured except after unreasonable delay or expense.
