History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v4.c63.32

v4.c63.32

³³⁷ Pratyākalita means, acc. to Aparārka p. 616, the deliberation of the judge and sabhyas as to where the burden of proof (*onus probandi*) lies and as to the method of proof. Acc. to the Mit. on Yāj. II. 8, pratyākalita in this sense is not a vyavahārapāda, since it is not directly related to the litigants. Acc. to Nār. II. 21 pratyākalita seems to mean an addition to the plaint or to the reply (i. e. a supplementary written statement). वादिभ्यां लिखिताच्छेषं यत्पुनर्वादिना स्मृतम् । तत्प्रत्याकलितं नाम स्वपादे तस्य लिख्यते ॥.
