- Laugaksi
Laugākṣi is mentioned among the 36 expounders of Dharmaśāstra set out by Paithīnasi (on p. 1 of Smṛ. Ch.) and Angiras quoted on the same page includes Laugākṣi among Upasmṛtis.
The Mit. (on Yāj. III, 1-2, 260, 289 ) quotes verses of Laugāksi on āśauca and prāyascitta. Aparārka quotes nine proge passages (pp. 28–29, 33, 122, 145, 166, 176 and 530) on Ācāra including Srāddha and ten verses on ten pages on Acāra, Āśauca and the order of forest hermits and one very long prose passage on p. 1227 (covering half a page ). On p. 542 Aparārka quotes a verse of Laugāksi in which Prajāpati is mentioned as an authority. The Mit. on Yāj. II. 118-119 quotes the definitions of Yoga’and Ksema given by Laugākṣi and which are declared to be not liable to partition by coparceners ( acc. to Mapu IX. 219 ), even if they be acqui red by detriment to the parental estate. Those definitions of Yoga and Kṣema are quoted by many works and writers on Vyavahāra such as the Smṛticandrikā (on Vy. p. 277 ), Par. M. Vol. III. p. 563. Vide H. of Dh. Vol. III. pp. 588-589 for different meanings of the two words.
It is remarkable that Aparārka quotes from Lauvākśi prose and verse passages ten times each. On pp. 1821938, a long prose passage of Laugākṣi is quoted about Kūdo mandar homa ( for which see H, of Dh. vol. IV p. 43 n. 102). FOUNDED

Maskarin on Gaut. Dh. S. appears to quote Laugākṣi as Lokāksi. On Gaut. 10. 42 ( about the finding of treasure trove) Lokāksi is quoted as “anubhūticibnāni musitvā gļhnataḥ pūrvasāhusam dandah tad-dravya dvigunam ca rājā haret’. Maskarin quotes verses of Lokāksi on Gaut. 14. 1, 15. 1; 22, 18 ( three verses on prāyaścittas for killing a person of pratiloma caste and others also). Kalpataru quotes Laugāksi frequently e. g. on Br. Kānda Laugākṣi is quoted five times ( all prose); Kalpao (on Srāddha ) p. 98 defines ’ Agredidhuṣu and didhisū!
