INTRODUCTION.
As clear as this reference, is the case in which Baudhàyana has borrowed a whole chapter of our Dharmasastra. The chapter in question is the nineteenth, which in Gautama's work forms the introduction to the section on penances and expiation. It is reproduced with a number of various readings in the third Prasna of Baudhầyana's Dharma-sûtra, where it forms the tenth and last Adhyâya. Its contents, and especially its first Satra which connects the section on penances with the preceding ones on the law of castes and orders, make it perfectly clear that its proper position can only be at the beginning of the rules on expiation, not in the middle of the discussion, as Baudhầyana places it. This circumstance alone would be sufficient to prove that Baudhayana is the borrower, not Gautama, even if the name of the latter did not occur in Baudhâyana's Dharma-sútra. But the character of many of Baudhầyana's readings, especially of those in Sûtras 2, 10, 11, 13, and 15, which, though supported by all the MSS. and Govindasvåmin's commentary, appear to have arisen chiefly through clerical mistakes or carelessness, furnishes
· Baudhảyana's various readings are the following: Gaut. XIX, 1= Baudb. III, 10, 1, O uto. Gaut. XIX, 2=Baudh. III, 10, 2, HUT मिथ्या वाचरत्ययाज्यं वा याजयत्यप्रतिग्रासस्य वा प्रतिगृहकात्यनाश्यावस्य

Baudhảyana's treatment of the subject of penances is very un. methodical. He devotes to them the following sections: II, 1-2; II, 2, 3, 48-53; II, 2, 4; III, 5-10; and the greater part of Prasna IV.
