This book publishes primary sources on ancient South Asia. The Jaimini-Grhya-Sutra (JGS) is a Sanskrit text dating from about 400 BCE. It gives the rules for the domestic rites of passage for the Samavedic Brahmins of the Jaiminiya school, while its Kauthuma school counterpart is the Gobhila-Grhya-Sutra. The JGS has been edited (with extracts from Srinivasa's commentary) and translated into English by Willem Caland in 1922. Here the text is explained by Bhavatrata, a Keralan Brahmin who lived about 700 CE. Bhavatrata's excellent commentary is published here for the first time, based on manuscripts from Kerala.
