History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v7.c93.63

v7.c93.63

Another alternative might be put forward viz. that works by Jaimini and Bādarāyaṇa did not exist before the extant V. S. and P M S, but that the references to Jaimini and Bādarāyana concern views current in the schools of Jaimini and Bādarāyana But this is not a likely hypothesis The extant V. S and P M S are meant for all throughout Āryāvarta and it is not likely that the oral traditions of two schools were supposed to be known to all and sundry in the whole of the country.
