122 NOTES ON [ IV. 1– The श्रौतसूत्राs dealt with such sacrifices as दर्श and पौर्णमास, the गृह्यसूत्राs laid down the ceremonies and ritual to be performed in the house with domestic fires, the five daily Yajnas, the संस्कारs such as उपनयन and marriage. धर्मसूत्राs laid down the rules for the various castes and आश्रमाs, for the administration of justice &c. Some of the extant धर्मसूत्राs are those of गौतम, आपस्तम्ब, वसिष्ठ &c. We have given above an extract from वसिष्ठ on the killing of a heifer in honour of a guest. समामनन्ति— from म्ना with सम् and आ 1 P to lay down or prescribe. निगृहीतः — you are caught (or defeated in argument).

The following speech of सौधातकि in- dicates how he thought he had caught his friend in argument. निग्रहस्थान is mentioned as the last of the 16 categories of the न्याय philosophy 'प्रमाणप्रमेयसंशयप्रयोजनदृष्टान्तसिद्धान्तावयवतर्कनिर्णयवादजल्प- वितण्डाहेत्वाभासच्छलजातिनिग्रहस्थानानां तत्त्वज्ञानान्निःश्रेयसाधिगमः' न्यायदर्शन first Sutra. निग्रहस्थान is defined as 'पराजयहेतुः' in the तर्कभाषा. येन since. वसिष्ठमिश्रेषु—for मिश्र, see notes p. 3. विशसिता was killed, past pass. p. of शस् 1 P with वि to kill, to cut up. निर्वर्त्तिता- effected, accomplished. विसर्जिता was given up or sent away i. e. was not killed. अनिर्वृत्त-मांसास्ते मन्यन्ते the sages lay down (lit. think) this method in the case of those who have not given up flesh. The words 'this method' refer to समांसमधुपर्क. मांसाद् अनिर्वृत्ता अनिर्वृत्त- मांसा —the words are transposed on the analogy of such com- pounds as राजदन्त. 'राजदन्तादिषु परम्' पा. २. २. ३१.

The मनुस्मृति lays down that a वानप्रस्थ must give up flesh and must subsist on plain vegetable diet: 'अगस्त्योद्भवशाकानि पुष्पमूलफलानि वा। मेध्यवृक्षोद्भवान्यन्नात्तेह्यद्भिः पक्वम- –मदाम्॥ वर्जयेन्मधु मांसं च भौमानि कवकानि च।' VI. 13–14. अत्र तपस्यमानस्य some years have passed since he began to practise penance in the penance grove of चन्द्रद्वीप. कतिपये some (optionally declined like a pronoun in the nom. plural) 'प्रथमचरमतयाल्पार्धकति- पयनेमाश्च' पा. १. १. ३३. चिरन्तनः old. अद्यैव न वेति has he had an interview with his female relatives or not? स्वयं द्रष्टव्य you should yourself come and see the king of Videha. परस्परं मिलिताः have met or assembled together. अनध्यायं मानयात we shall celebrate (lit. honour) the festival of a holiday by playing.
