History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v2.c23.90

v2.c23.90

As homa is necessary in numerous ceremonies and rites, the gṛhyasūtras give a description of a model homa. Therefore here also it would be well to set out the description from the Āśvalāyana ⁴⁸¹ Gṛhyasūtra (I. 3, S. B. E. vol 29 pp. 162-163), a few important points of difference being added from other gṛhyasūtras and other works.
