1605a This is a reference to the texts of Gaut. 23.29, the Mahābhārata, Manu, Yājñavalkya and others cited on p. 353 above. Sir William Jones remarks (in Works, vol. VIII p. 445, ed. of 1807): 'In the great system of contracts and the common intercourse between man and man, the *Pootee* (*Pothi*?) of the Indians and the Digest of the Romans are by no means dissimilar'.
