As usual there is a person abroad who always misquotes and ill -means
many texts as if knowledgeable, who once wrote worse about Yajnavalkya. In
this connection the following is the extract of a research paper on this
smrithi. And will show the shade of the banyan it provides. Those who are
interested to know may read on dot paper extracted: the paper is too large.

"YAGNAVALKYA SMRITHI A STUDY IN BRIEF
This page relates ‘Yajnavalkyasmriti and its relation with other Ancient
Literature’ of the study on the Vyavaharadhyaya of the Yajnavalkya-smriti:
one of the most prominent Smritis dealing with Dharmashastra (ancient
Indian science of law), dated in par with SYV spreads its wings on the way
of life . The Yajnavalkyasmriti scientifically arranges its contents in
three sections: Acara (proper conduct), Vyavahara (proper law) and
Prayashcitta (expiation). Vyavahara deals with judicial procedure and legal
system such as substantive law and procedural law.

to in various verses of the *Yājñavalkyasmṛti*.[4]
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/essay/yajnavalkya-smriti-vyavaharadhyaya-study/d/doc628168.html#note-e-170244>
*Connection with sukla yajurvedam*
The *Yājñavalkyasmṛti* bears close affinity to the *Śuklayajurveda* and its
literature. It is already discussed in detail, that the name Yājñavalkya
stands in a very intimate relation with the *Śuklayajurvedasaṃhitā*, the
*Śatapathabrāhmaṇa*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/shatapathabrahmana#hinduism> and the
*Bṛhadāraṇyakopaniṣad*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/brihadaranyakopanishad#hinduism>. The
*Yājñavalkyasmṛti* has taken the mantras
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/mantra#dharmashastra> recited in the
*śrāddha* <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/shraddha#dharmashastra> mostly
from the *Vājasaneyisaṃhitā*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/vajasaneyi-samhita#hinduism>. [5]
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/essay/yajnavalkya-smriti-vyavaharadhyaya-study/d/doc628168.html#note-e-170245>
Most
of the mantras cited by Yājñavalkya are also present in the *Ṛgveda*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/rigveda#hinduism> and the
*Śuklayajurveda*, while some mantras occur only in the later.[6]
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/essay/yajnavalkya-smriti-vyavaharadhyaya-study/d/doc628168.html#note-e-170246>
Moreover,
various verses of the *Yājñavalkyasmṛti* (3.191-197) seem to be a
rearticulation of certain passages of the *Bṛhadāraṇyakopaniṣad*. [7]
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/essay/yajnavalkya-smriti-vyavaharadhyaya-study/d/doc628168.html#note-e-170247>
The *Yājñavalkyasmṛti* shows great connection with the *Pāraskaragṛhyasūtra*.
Verses 1.142-143 of the *Yājñavalkyasmṛti* relates to *Pāraskaragṛhyasūtra*
. [8]
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/essay/yajnavalkya-smriti-vyavaharadhyaya-study/d/doc628168.html#note-e-170248>
Numbers
of verses in the *Yājñavalkyasmṛti* have verbal similarity with the
*Pāraskaragṛhyasūtra*, such as Yājñavalkyasmṛti 3.1-2 and P.Gṛ.S. 3. 10.1,
5, 8-9, 12; Yājñavalkyasmṛti 3.3 and P.Gṛ.S. 3.10.16, 19-20, etc. The
portion of *vināyakaśānti* of the *Yājñavalkyasmṛti* resembles to
*Mānavagṛhyasūtra* of *Kṛṣṇayajurveda*.[9]
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/essay/yajnavalkya-smriti-vyavaharadhyaya-study/d/doc628168.html#note-e-170249>
Julius Jolly assumes that the *Smṛti*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/smriti#dharmashastra> of Yājñavalkya
was based on a *Sūtra*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/sutra#hinduism> work
of the *Śuklayajurveda* but at the same time other *Sūtra* works and the
*Manusmṛti* <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/manusmriti#hinduism> were
utilized by the author.[10]
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/essay/yajnavalkya-smriti-vyavaharadhyaya-study/d/doc628168.html#note-e-170250>
There
seems to be no reason for holding that Yājñavalkya had any particular
*Dharmasūtra* <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/dharmasutra#hinduism> as
its basis.[11]
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/essay/yajnavalkya-smriti-vyavaharadhyaya-study/d/doc628168.html#note-e-170251>
The
best probable conclusion may be derived that the author of the *Smṛti* could
well have belonged to or associated with the school of white *Yajurveda*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/yajurveda#hinduism>, and therefore,
he might have been more acquainted with mantras, rituals, manuals relating
to it than the other Vedas and the Sūtras.[12]
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/essay/yajnavalkya-smriti-vyavaharadhyaya-study/d/doc628168.html#note-e-170252>
*Vishnu dharma sutra related*
There is a remarkable analogy between the *Yājñavalkyasmṛti* and the
*Viṣṇudharmasūtra*. Several verses of the *Yājñavalkyasmṛti* are found
identical with those of the *Viṣṇudharmasūtra* and its prose Sūtras.[13]
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/essay/yajnavalkya-smriti-vyavaharadhyaya-study/d/doc628168.html#note-e-170253>
Correlation
between two works can be noticed mainly regarding copperplate grants, deeds
of debt, all documents in general, five chief divine judgments,
inheritance, funeral ceremonies, composition of human body and *yoga*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/yoga#dharmashastra>, etc. [14]
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/essay/yajnavalkya-smriti-vyavaharadhyaya-study/d/doc628168.html#note-e-170254>
The
work *Viṣṇudharmasūtra* is marked with three stages of development. The
first represents the frame work of a *Dharmasūtras*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/dharmasutra#hinduism>, the
subjectmatter of which may be older than the *Mānusmṛti*. The second stage
is identified by the grabing of the function of uttering secular laws, and
the third stage shows sectarian *Vaishṇava* clothing with the inclusion of
non-*Dhramaśāstra* matters.
This leads Jayaswal to conclude thus,–
“Viṣṇu <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/vishnu#hinduism> follows Manu
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/manu#hinduism>, and Yājñavalkya seems
to be conscious of Viṣṇu laws, though in places there are clear cases of
borrowing by Viṣṇu from Yājñavalkya.”[15]
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/essay/yajnavalkya-smriti-vyavaharadhyaya-study/d/doc628168.html#note-e-170255>
Julius Jolly thinks that the *Viṣṇudharmasūtra* has retained the older
version, and Yājñavalkya has drawn upon Viṣṇu, or rather upon the *Sūtra* work
lying at the root of this work. [16]
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/essay/yajnavalkya-smriti-vyavaharadhyaya-study/d/doc628168.html#note-e-170256>
However,
there are several matters in the *Viṣṇudharmasūtra*, which are wanting in
the *Yājñavalkyasmṛti*. This may suggest a later date of the *Sūtra* than
the *Yājñavalkyasmṛti*. Therefore, Kane concedes that the extant
*Viṣṇudharmasūtra* borrows from the *Manusmṛti* and the *Yājñavalkyasmṛti*.
[17]
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/essay/yajnavalkya-smriti-vyavaharadhyaya-study/d/doc628168.html#note-e-170257>
*Artha sastra connected *
The *vyavahāra*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/vyavahara#dharmashastra> section of
the *Yājñavalkyasmṛti* shows the greatest association with the *Arthaśāstra*
of Kauṭilya <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/kautilya#hinduism>. The
connection between the *Arthaśāstra* and the *Yājñavalkyasmṛti* in wordings
is very close, which appears to be a case of borrowing.[18]
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/essay/yajnavalkya-smriti-vyavaharadhyaya-study/d/doc628168.html#note-e-170258>
Yājñavalkya
has included many of the offences referred to in the *kaṇṭakaśodhana*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/kantaka-shodhana#hinduism>, Book 4 of
the *Arthaśāstra*, in one or in more than one of his titles of law
inappropriately, such as 2. 238, 240, 250, 251, 252, 277, 279, 280 of the
*Yājñavalkyasmṛti*.[19]
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/essay/yajnavalkya-smriti-vyavaharadhyaya-study/d/doc628168.html#note-e-170259>
Moreover,
Yājñavalkya seems to have reproduced the words of the *Arthaśāstra* with
modifications, for instance *tryaṅga* in *Yājñavalkyasmṛti* refers to
*vāmahasta **dvipāda*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/dvipada#hinduism> of the *Arthaśāstra*
.[20]
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/essay/yajnavalkya-smriti-vyavaharadhyaya-study/d/doc628168.html#note-e-170260>
The
close comparison between two works may show that the *Yājñavalkyasmṛti* is
indebted to the *Arthaśāstra*.[21]
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/essay/yajnavalkya-smriti-vyavaharadhyaya-study/d/doc628168.html#note-e-170261>
This
view can also be strengthened by the date assigned to the *Arthaśāstra*.
Kane agrees with its traditional date of 300 B.C. and finds nothing to
compel to assign it a date later than the above by six centuries.[22]
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/essay/yajnavalkya-smriti-vyavaharadhyaya-study/d/doc628168.html#note-e-170262>
The *Arthaśāstra* does not contain distinct directions upon the four stages
of lawsuit, threefold aspects of proof, widow or mother as heir to a
sonless man, which Yājñavalkya has done in his work. Moreover, unlike
*Arthaśāstra*, *Yājñavalkyasmṛti* prefers daughters to sons in the division
of *strīdhana* <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/stridhana#history> of
a woman dying during her husband’s lifetime. Thus, on numerous points of
law, Yājñavalkya represents an advanced stage than the *Arthaśāstra*. These
may indicate the posteriority of the former, and that the
*Yājñavalkyasmṛti* might
have borrowed from the *Arthaśāstra*.
*Manu smrithi related*
The close relation between the *Yājñavalkyasmṛti* and the *Manusmṛti* is
evident. A close comparison between the two works reveals that there are
numerous passages having agreement not only in meaning but also in words.
[23]
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/essay/yajnavalkya-smriti-vyavaharadhyaya-study/d/doc628168.html#note-e-170263>
There
are cases, where Yājñavalkya compresses two or more verses of Manu into
one, e.g. Manusmṛti, 2. 243, 247, 248 are equal to Yājñavalkyasmṛti, 1.49,
Manusmṛti, 4.7-8 and Yājñavalkyasmṛti, 1.128, etc. In various cases, the
*Yājñavalkyasmṛti* has clarified the sense of the *Manusmṛti*.[24]
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/essay/yajnavalkya-smriti-vyavaharadhyaya-study/d/doc628168.html#note-e-170264>
Yājñavalkya
has dealt with most of the subjects found in the *Manusmṛti*, but in a
little more than a thousand verses in contrast with the bulk of about 2700
verses of Manu.[25]
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/essay/yajnavalkya-smriti-vyavaharadhyaya-study/d/doc628168.html#note-e-170265>
The *Yājñavalkyasmṛti* compared to the *Manusmṛti* is more systematic,
brief, scientific, and practical. Yājñavalkya divides the work assigning
all topics to their proper positions. He especially deals with law in the
second chapter more completely and in detail, whereas Manu has dealt with
the law in his eighth and ninth chapters, and rules are many times
scattered in the whole text. Moreover, Yājñavalkya has not devoted a major
part of his work to *ācāra*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/acara#dharmashastra>, as in the
*Manusmṛti*. The *Yājñavalkyasmṛti* does not contain any discussion on
cosmogony, which occupies practically the whole of the first chapter of the
*Manusmṛti*. On the other hand
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/hand#hinduism>, the
*Yājñavalkyasmṛti* contains
some subjects, which are not found in the *Manusmṛti*. These subjects
include *vināyakaśānti*, *grahaśānti*, description of life of the embryo
and of the human body, etc.[26]
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/essay/yajnavalkya-smriti-vyavaharadhyaya-study/d/doc628168.html#note-e-170266>
Though, for the material substance, the *Yājñavalkyasmṛti* notably agrees
with the *Manusmṛti*, yet it differs from the *Manusmṛti* on some matters.
Several matters, e.g. ordeals, means of proof in courts, rules of
procedures in courts, the doctrine of possession and prescription, the
penances, etc., have received more systematic and elaborate treatment in
the *Yājñavalkyasmṛti* than the *Manusmṛti*.[27]
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/essay/yajnavalkya-smriti-vyavaharadhyaya-study/d/doc628168.html#note-e-170267>
From
the relation of the two codes, it may be drawn that the extant the
*Yājñavalkyasmṛti* represents a later date than that of the *Manusmṛti*.
Yājñavalkya seems to be familiar to the *Manusmṛti*, and have utilised it
while composing his work.
*Agni and Garuda Puranam nexus*
It is important to state here the relation of the *Agnipurāṇa*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/agnipurana#dharmashastra> and the
*Garuḍapurāṇa*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/garudapurana#dharmashastra> with the
text of *Yājñavalkyasmṛti*. The *vyavahāra* portion of *Agnipurāṇa* resembles
with the *Vyavahārādhyāya* of the *Yājñavalkyasmṛti*. The *Agnipurāṇa* contains
315 numbers of verses on *vyavahāra*.[28]
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/essay/yajnavalkya-smriti-vyavaharadhyaya-study/d/doc628168.html#note-e-170268>
Among
these verses, approximately 280 verses occur in the text of the
*Yājñavalkyasmṛti* commented upon by Viśvarūpa
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/vishvarupa#hinduism> and
Vijñāneśvara. A few verses are found in the *Agnipurāṇa* and in the text of
Viśvarūpa, but not in the *Mitākṣarā*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/mitakshara#hinduism>, vice versa, a
few verses are present in the *Agnipurāṇa* and the *Mitākṣarā* but absent
in the text of Viśvarūpa. Going through the internal evidences, Kane is of
the opinion that *Agnipurāṇa* is intermediate between the text of Viśvarūpa
and the *Mitākṣarā* and both represents the text of the
*Yājñavalkyasmṛti* about
900 A.D.[29]
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/essay/yajnavalkya-smriti-vyavaharadhyaya-study/d/doc628168.html#note-e-170269>
The correspondence between the *Yājñavalkyasmṛti* and the *Garuḍapurāṇa* is
manifest as the later has expressed its indebtedness towards the former.[30]
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/essay/yajnavalkya-smriti-vyavaharadhyaya-study/d/doc628168.html#note-e-170270>
Except
the topics on *rājadharma*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/rajadharma#hinduism> and *vyavahāra*,
which two sections are not found in the *Garuḍapurāṇa*, several topics of
the first *kāṇḍa* <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/kanda#hinduism> of
the *Yājñavalkyasmṛti* are dealt with in the same order in chapter 93-102
of the *Garuḍapurāṇa*. The duties of different castes described in the
*Garuḍapurāṇa* (93-106) are found similar to the description given in the
*Yājñavalkyasmṛti*. Topics of the third *kāṇḍa* of the *Yājñavalkyasmṛti* are
treated in one hundred and twenty-one verses of the chapter 102-106 of the
*Garuḍapurāṇa*, without maintaining the sequence of the *Yājñavalkyasmṛti*.
It is derived from the study of these verses of the *Garuḍapurāṇa* with
reference to the texts of Viśvarūpa and the *Mitākṣarā* that it represents
a stage of the *Yājñavalkyasmṛti*, between Viśvarūpa and the *Mitākṣarā*.
