The Visnusmrti has quoted a good number of vedic
mantras as well as we find innumerable verses composed in
metrical forms of the classical type. Almost all the chap-
ters of the Visnusmrti have one or more verses at the end.
The chapters 54 and 96 have a verse in the middle of the
chapter. The chapters 1,99 and 100 entirely consist of
verses while the chapter 74 is entirely in prose. Some
Vedic mantras in full are quoted in the chapters 48, 73 and
86. On the otherhand some mantras are referred to in chap-
ter 56 in their conventional technical names such as aghamar-
d
sana, Devak峁泃a, Sudhavatya岣�, taratsamand墨ya, kusm膩ndya岣�,
candras膩ma, ablingam, atharvasira岣� and so on. The Pratikas
or initial part of some of the vedic mantras are quoted in
chapters 65 and 67. several mantras quoted in the Visnusmrti
are found to be quoted in the kathakagrhys奴tra.
The Visnu-
smrti resembles the Vasisthadharmas奴tra in style and in treat-
ment of the subjects. Some of the sutras in chapter 56 of the
visnusmrti are found identical with those of the samkhasmrti.
The worship of vasudeva described in the Visnusmrti is similar
to that of the Visnudharmottara. It seems that the Visnu-
smrti knows the pa帽car膩tra system, as the vasudeva, Sa峁僰ar-
sana, Pradyumna and Aniruddha incarnations. The seven days
of the week with the deities presiding over them, the twenty
seven naksatras with their Presiding deities and the fifteen
lunar days i.e. tithis are mentioned in connection with the
performance of 艣r膩ddha ceremonies with specific objects.
