History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v7.c93.122

v7.c93.122

¹⁹³⁶ It is remarkable that the two verses about the ten topics dealt with by Brāhmaṇas (on P. M S. II. 1. 33) occur also in the Brahmāṇḍa purāṇa II. 33. 47-48. In शबर they are: हेतुर्निर्वचनं निन्दा प्रशंसा संशयो विधिः। परक्रिया पुराकल्पो व्यवधारणकल्पना॥ उपमानं दशैते तु विधयो ब्राह्मणस्य तु॥ एतत्स्यात् सर्ववेदेषु नियतं विधिलक्षणम्॥. There are a few variants in the ब्रह्माण्ड. The verse about विधिलक्षण on IV. 3 3 is introduced with the words एवं हि पदवाक्यार्थ-न्यायविदः श्लोकमामनन्ति-कुर्यात्क्रियेत०.
