Introduction
About this Manuscript
This is a Vedic sacrificial ritual manual that discusses the customs performed during the Darśapaurṇamāsa sacrifice (new moon and full moon rites). The text mentions Śāṅkhāyana, Gopāla, and Vidyāraṇya, and explicitly refers to the Baudhāyana-Kalpasūtra, from which it describes the Prakṛti-iṣṭi according to the Baudhāyana-Kalpasūtra. The work was composed by Anantadeva, son of Āpadeva II, grandson of Anantadeva I, and great-grandson of Ekanātha (NCC, Vol. 1, p. 165).
