The verse, which I had heard from one of my teachers, is not in the

Manu-sm.rti or any of the well-known Sm.rtis as far as I could check a few

years ago. I needed to refer to it in the following article: year 2000.

"The prologue and epilogue verses of Vacaspati-misra-I." Rivista degli Studi

Orientali 73: 105-130.

 

The point I was making was that the philosopher Trilocana was very probably

Vaacaspati-mi;sra's guru as well as father and that T seems to have died not

long after V composed his Nyaaya-ka.nikaa.

 

The best I could do in tracing the verse is reflected in footnote 7 of that

article: >yat tu "aatma-naama guror naama naamaatik.rpa.nasya ca /

aayu.s-kaamo na g.rh.niiyaaj jye.s.thaapatya-kalatrayo.h //Æ iti tat

kaamyam, aayu.skaama iti ;srava.naat." Nanda-pa.n.dita, Ke;sava-vaijayantii

commentary on Vi.s.nu-sm.rti, p. 433. Further, the convention might have

been thought of as something to be observed only as long as the guru was

alive.<

Thanks a lot, sir, for replying to my message and providing extra information.

 

The zloka concerned I came across in the following reference:

 

devendranAtha zarmA (1986):"bh ASAvij~nAna kii bhUmikA", Pub: rAdhAkRSNa

prakAzana, New Delhi, 7th edition, p.297.

 

He has cited the zloka under the ch. "arthavij~nAna", section "artha-parivartana

ke kAraNa" ---(4) suzrAvyatA ....(gha) andhavizvAsa.

 

---- Best regards.

Narayan Prasad
