Publisher's Synopsis
The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume series, encompasses the seven non-Christian religions of Asia: Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, and Islam. Translated into English by authorities in their respective fields, these sacred texts have been edited by F. Max Muller and have profoundly influenced civilization. The Grihya Sutras Part 1 (1886) translated by Hermann Oldenberg, is volume XXIX of The Sacred Books of the East, a series available from Cosimo Classics. This book is in two parts and focuses on Hinduism. It is a collection of the rules related to domestic ceremonies according to Sankhyana, Asvalayana, Paraskara, and Khadia and is for readers interested in deepening their understanding of Hinduism.
