Balabhadra in his Hāyanaratna quotes an unnamed text on the preferred
time of upanayana. The MSS I have seen all give the quotation as:
aṣṭavarṣaṃ brāhmaṇam upanīyayet ṣaṣṭhe ’nnādyakāma iti
The printed text cleans this up as follows:
aṣṭame varṣe brāhmaṇam upanayet ṣaṣṭhe ’nnādyakāma iti
-- but I don't know whether this corrected version exactly matches any
actual text. Any help in placing the quotation would be much appreciated.
