Description

This volume constitutes the first critical edition and translation into any modern language of a dananibandha, a classical Hindu legal digest devoted to the culturally and religiously important topic of gifting.

Specifically, it is a critical edition—based upon all identifiable manuscripts—and complete, annotated translation of the Danakanda (“Book on Gifting”), the fifth section of the encyclopedic Krtyakalpataru (c. 1114–1154) of Laksmidhara and the earliest extant dananibandha.

David Brick has included an extensive historical introduction to the text and its subject matter.
