The closely related Maitrāyaṇīya, which is divided into four khaṇḍas, arranges this material in a different fashion. The Mānava was commented on by Śivadāsa at Vārāṇasī, the Maitrāyaṇīya by his younger brother, Śaṅkarabhaṭṭa; the two brothers both quote from Rāma Vājapeyin, and therefore lived after 1450. - [Previous: c3.45](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c3.45) - [Next: c4.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c4.2) - [Up: c3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c3) ## Linked texts (2) - [Mānavaśulbasūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.kalpa.sulba.manava) — Sanskrit - [Maitrāyaṇīyaśulbasūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.kalpa.sulba.maitrayana) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c3.46](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c3.46) · Pramāṇa
