Manu, 2} verses of Yajiiavalkya, and one extract each of Gauta- 
ma, Vyasa, Visnu and Usanasa. 
The similarity between Jimita-vahana’s work and Vijia- 
negvara’s is explained by their large reliance on one authority, 
Vigvarapa. We have seen that one main object of writing the 
Vyavahara-matrka was to clear Visvaripa’s work from certain 
faults charged against him by some writers. The Mitaksara 
itself seems to have been an abridgment of Visvartipa’s com- 
mentary on the Yajiavalkya-samhita, and in the introductory 
verse No. 2 it says:—‘‘ The Dharma-sastra uttered by the 
intelligence).?’ This common reference te Visvarupa largely 
explains the similarity in the quotations, both borrowing freely 
from the same source.! 
The similarity in the quotations found between the Vya- 
vahara-matrka and the Vyavahara-kalpa-taru extends to the 
their interpretation. On the whole I am not disposed to see 
any borrowing of one from the other, and think it more prob- 
able that both had been borrowing from the same source, 1, 
some of the previous Smrti compilations. = 
priority will be discussed infra under the subheading of Jimu- 
tavahana’s time. 
It is curious to find that ‘“law’s delays’’ were well known 
at that time. The kriya-pada section begins with the follow- 
ing quotation from Katyayana :— 
“In the examination of witnesses no delay should he 
made by the king, as from delay arises serious fault. Such is 
the sign of dharma’s prohibition ’’.
