v7.c94.100

Another important digest of the first quarter of the 12th century A. D. namely the Kṛtyakalpataru of Lakṣmīdhara in its Mokṣakāṇḍa pp 100-101 also quotes from Devala's Dharmasūtra a prose passage which agrees word for word with a portion of the passage quoted above from Aparārka viz. from the words 'tatra sāṅkhyānām ekā mūlaprakṛtiḥ' up to 'trīṇyantaḥkaraṇāni' Then the portion from 'catasraś-catasro' to 'iti daśa mūlikārthāḥ' is dropped by the Kalpataru and then it has the whole of the passage from 'atha mūlaprakṛtiravyaktam' up to 'abhimāna ityanarthāntaram',²²⁶⁴ after which it adds a short passage not found in Aparārka (which is quoted below). It has the passage 'prakṛter mahānutpadyate' up to 'ityutpattikramaḥ'.
