History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v7.c93.75

v7.c93.75

The Āp. Śr. Sūtra 24. 8. 10 (ed. by Garbe) and the Pravaramañjarī (ed. by Chentsalrav, Mysore, 1900) p. 61 mention Bādarāyaṇa as a sub-section of Viṣṇuvṛddhagotra, while p. 38 of the latter work mentions Jaimini along with Yāska, Vādhūla, Mauna and others as having the pravara ‘Bhārgava-vaitahavyasāvataseti’ and pp. 108 and 178 cite Bādari (or Vādari) as a sub-division of Parāśaras. Therefore, it was possible that several individuals separated by a century or more could bear the name of Jaimini or Bādarāyaṇa.
