History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v1.c6.s79.1

v1.c6.s79.1

The Madanaratna is an extensive digest on Dharmaśāstra no part of which has yet been printed. In the colophons of mss. it is also called Madanaratnapradīpa or simply Madanapradīpa. The work was divided into seven⁹⁴⁴ sections called *uddyotas* on *samaya* (or *kāla*), *ācāra*, *vyavahāra*, *prāyaścitta*, *dāna*, *śuddhi*, *śānti*. The order of the various sections was the one indicated, the *samayoddyota* being the first part. I have not been able to examine the mss. of all the uddyotas.
