object ” thus “ to make ones chief object”. Pogehnifang ruk- 
saning sdsamdig una would seem rather to convey t' e meaning 
et to preserve, than to make, the SasdnaP It must of course be 
supposed, or rather it is known, that there existed a more 
ancient law book. The Pandita then only receives the order, 
to make a rescension, which is be to used for all the Brahmins 
in the cities and the country, and those who exercise judicial 
powers. This very probably is also indicated by the addition 
of S astrasarodrUa, which I translated, although not justly

among the whole nation,” (thus juge de paix.) From this 
it would appear that the Brahmins have jurisdiction, criminal 
and civil, which is also noticed by Raffles. In Bali notwith¬ 
standing only a few of the judges belong to the cast of the 
Brahmins, in Badong only one. The supreme judge in Parn- 
chuttan is a Brahmin ; the others are eligible from all casts, 
and are generally Sudras who are well acquainted with the 
common law-books, the agama and adigama. In spiritual
