Vīramitrodaya
Smṛti authority cited on acceptable water sources for eclipse bathing
Śaṅkha says:
> In ponds (*vāpī* (वापी)), wells (*kūpa* (कूप)), and tanks (*taḍāgeṣu* (तडागेषु)), in mountain springs (*giriprasravaṇeṣu* (गिरिप्रस्रवणेषु)), / > in a river (*nadyāṃ* (नद्यां)), a large river (*nade* (नदे)), a man-made lake (*devakhāte* (देवखाते)), and in lakes (*sarasīṣu* (सरसीषु)) with still water, // > or one may do it with hot water (*uṣṇodakena* (उष्णोदकेन)) at an eclipse of the moon and sun.
This is from the statement of Śaṅkha.
Parāśara Smṛti
Sage and dharma-author cited both generally and for a specific rule about sacred fire.
In the Kṛta *yuga*, the *dharmas* are those of Manu;
the *dharmas* composed by Āpastamba, and those of Śaṅkha and Likhita;
When an elder brother is present, a younger brother should not establish the sacred fire.
