Publisher Description:
This volume constitutes the first critical edition and translation into any modern language of a dānanibandha, 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 Dānakānda ("Book on Gifting"), the fifth section of the encyclopedic Krtyakalpataru (c. 1114-1154) of Laksmīdhara and the earliest extant dānanibandha. David Brick has included an extensive historical introduction to the text and its subject matter.

Contributor Bio(s): Brick, David: - David Brick is Senior Lecturer in the South Asian Studies Council at Yale University.
