A Dharmaśāstra text composed by Kāśīnātha Upādhyāya (or Bābā Pādhye) in 1790–91, divided into three chapters (pariccheda), follows the Nirṇayasindhu model. The present manuscript contains only the third chapter (pariccheda).The first section (pūrvārdha) (f.1b–69b) deals with rituals like the 16 saṃskāras, and gives a detailed discussion for each saṃskāra, starting with the perfect time (for performance) for each—months, tithis, rāśi, and days. It also discusses the effects of the eclipse, different ritual acts during different times of the day, rules to adopt a son, the birth of a child if born on a dark moon or in a constellation of not-so-good stars like: Mūlā, Āśleṣā, etc., and the proper time for Upanayana, Vivāha, and other rituals. The second section (uttarārdha) (f.1b–115b) deals with daily duties (nitya-karmas), śauca-karmas, a discussion of the naimmittika-karmas, prohibited works in Kaliyuga, and an extensive discussion on śrāddha. (Kane, HDS, Vol.I part2. p. 975–977). The colophon of the manuscript reveals details about the author’s lineage. According to it, Kaśyupādhyāya was the author’s grandfather. He had two sons—the elder, Yajñeśvara, and the younger, Ananta. Ananta was the father of the author.
