Hindu Law and Custom (Recht und Sitte) c7.359

c7.359

The Nṛsiṃhaprasāda of Dalapati¹, is a similar work divided into 12 Sāras; he speaks of himself as the prime-minister or Viceroy Sām rājyadhuram-dharamāhipati of Nizam Shah, i.e., very probably, of the founder of the dynasty of Ahmednagar which bore the same name (1489-1508). This learned compendium, in which law proper too has been dealt with, proves that in Devagiri, Indian Law was studied even after the installation of Islam and that the example of Hemādri (see above) did not fail to induce emulation. The above dating of the work finds support from a Ms. of same copied in 1511-12 at Benares.
