Haradatta's commentary on Apastamba Dharmasutra was criticized by Boehtlingk in 1885 for lacking "European critical attitude", a view that modern scholars such as Patrick Olivelle have called unjustified and erroneous because Haradatta was a very careful commentator, far more than Boehtlingk and many other 19th-century Orientalists were.<ref>{{cite journal | last=Olivelle | first=Patrick | title=Sanskrit Commentators and the Transmission of Texts: Haradatta on Āpastamba Dharmasūtra | journal=Journal of Indian Philosophy | publisher=Springer Science | volume=27 | issue=6 | year=1999 | pages=551–574 | doi=10.1023/a:1004636609126 | s2cid=189820541 }}</ref>
