History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v7.c94.185

v7.c94.185

²³⁰⁹ The authenticity of the bhāṣya as the great Śaṅkarācārya's work is extremely doubtful In the whole of the extensive bhāṣya on the Brahmasūtra Śaṅkarācārya quotes no Purāṇa by name but cites only a very few verses with the words 'iti purāṇe'. But in the bhāṣya on the Śv Up of only 76 printed pages over 30 verses from Brahmapurāṇa, about 30 verses from Viṣṇupurāṇa, about a dozen from the Liṅgapurāṇa and about half a dozen verses from the Śivadharmottara (on pp. 7, 34, 35) are cited.
