⁹¹⁴ अक्रोधनैः शौचपरैरिति गाथासुदीरयन् । सायमामन्त्रयेद्विप्रान् श्राद्धे दैवे च कर्मणि ॥ प्रजापति 63. It is therefore likely that the Prajāpati-smṛti is much later than the Matsyapurāṇa or it is possible that the verse अक्रोधनै is an ancient one and only repeated by the मत्स्य. Compare मनु III 192 where we have the words 'अक्रोधना शौचपरा. सतत ब्रह्मचारिण.' नारदपुराण (पूर्वार्ध 28 20) puts the request as 'श्राद्धे क्षणस्तु कर्तव्यः प्रसादश्चेति सत्तम'. This supports the Mit on Yāj I 225.
