Paithīnasi

Paithīnasi, though not named among the Smṛtikāras enu merated in Yāj. I. 4-5, is mentioned among the 36 Smṛtis quoted by Aparārka (p. 7) from the Bhaviṣyapurāua and also in the quotation from Paithinasi about the thirty-six names of the expounders of Dharmaśāstra in the Smiṣti-Candrikā (p. 1). Another reason is that he appears to have dealt in his work with all three branches of Dharmaśāstra, viz. ācāra, vyavahāra and prayascitta. Another important matter is that quotations in prose from him far outnumber quotations in verse in the comparatively early digests like the Mit., Aparārka, Kalpataru. Viśvarūpa on Yāj. III. 262 cites a prose

passage of Paithīnasi about the prāyaścitta for killing a cow.610 The Mit. quotes prose passages from Paithīnasi on Yāj. III. 17, 19, 253, 265 &c. Aparārka quotes several prose passages from Paithinasi on pp. 58, 60, 105 174, 189 (three Astakas in Pausa and the following two months), 239, 248. Two intere sting prose passages 610a on Vyavahāra also occur, one being that the wealth of a man dying sopless goes to his brother, in default of brother, to parents or to the senior one among his wives. On p. 1175 Apararka quotes a long prose passage mentioning 18 persons at whose house one should not dine, nor sit for dinner in the same row with them and who are unfit to be invited at a śrāddha. An interesting passage cited by Aparārka about marriage is as follows: A man should choose a girl whose ( father’s ) gotra is not the same as his. He should avoid girls who are within the fifth degree in descent from a common ancestor on the mother’s side and 7th in descent from the father’s side ; or three on the mother’s side and five on the father’s side. 8100 This latter portion about three and five degrees has now been accepted by the Indian Parliament (excepting customs to the contrary) in the Hindu Marriage Act No. 25 of 1955, Section 3 (f).

Kalpataru on Vyavahāra quotes 22 prose passages of Paithinasi and 7 verses. On p. 627 it sayss10c women are the 610 पठानसिनापि-गोध्नो यवागू प्रतितण्डुलशृता मासं भुजनो गोभ्यः प्रियं कुर्वाणः

presiding deities of the bome; (strict) rules about purifica tion are pot demanded of them, nor the observance of vratas nor fasting; they reach the highest world if they properly look after their husbands. When an appointed daughter dies her husband does not succeed to her wealth; if she dies sonless, her wealth should be taken by her unmarried daughter or sister. On pp. 818 and 819, there are two prose passages, the first providing for the status of the children of a brāhmana, ksatriya or Vaisya woman born from a person of a lower varṇa and the second providing for the status of children born in unions (which are not bad on the ground of illicit inter course ). The Brahmacārikānda of the Kalpataru quotes 22 prose pasgages and seven verses from Paithīnasi. Kalpataru ( Moksakānda pp. 21-22 ) has a long sutra of Paithīnasi about the daily life of a forest hermit (vānaprastha ). Kalpataru (on Srāddha ) adduces prose passages of Paithīnasi fifteen times and only two verses. Kalpataru (on Suddhi) adduces from Paithinasi only prose passages ( 15 times ), some (as op pp. 105 and 140 ) being very long. Kalpataru (Naiyatakālika, quotes Paithīnasi 24 times; one prose passage ( about one pago in extent) deals with honouring a guest (on pp. 188–89) and there is another very long prose passage on rajasvalā occupy. ing one page and a half on pp. 352-3.
