Description

This is a Dharmaśāstra text—the second book of the Dharmatattva by Kamalākara Bhaṭṭa, a member of the well-known Bhaṭṭa family of Benares. He was the son of Umā and Rāmakṛṣṇa and the father of Ananta Bhaṭṭa. (Kane, 1975, p.925 ) The Dharmatattva is divided into ten sections: Vrata, Dāna, Karmavipāka, Śānti, Pūrta, Ācāra, Vyavahāra, Prāyaścitta, Śūdradharma, and Tīrthavidhi. This text outlines the laws concerning various types of offerings and practices related to Hindu rituals.
