History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v7.c93.s1.132

v7.c93.s1.132

यावद्वचनं वाचनिकम् — Vide शबर on जै. V 4 11 (याव .क न तत्र न्यायः क्रमते) and on V 3 12 (याव.. कं न सदृशमुपसंक्रामति). The idea is • in the case of an authoritative text that much only is to be accepted as covered by it which is expressed by the words used and that it should not be made applicable to other cases on the ground of similarity or analogy. Vide तन्त्रवा on जै III 5. 19, भामती on वे सू IV 1. 4 and on IV. 3. 4; मेधा० on मनु X. 127 applies this maxim. Vide H. of Dh. vol. II p. 469 n 1101.
