Hindu Law and Custom (Recht und Sitte) c7.368

c7.368

The Toḍarānanda³ of Toḍaramalla, the famous finance-minister of Emperor Akbar (1556-1605), can boast of an author hardly less blue blooded. The part of this work dealing with judicial proceedings and forensic law is called the Vyavahārasaukhya; an old Ms. of this section was copied in the year 1581, and also a Ms. of the Vratasaukhya, copied in the year 1582-83, is still in existence. The Vyavahāramayukha and the Śudrakamalākara (see below) contain quotations from the Toḍarānanda.
