History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v3.c44.69

v3.c44.69

A passage quoted in the Dānacandrikā from the Skandapurāṇa states that a maṭha should be provided with cots and seats, should be thatched with grass and provided with platforms and should be donated to brāhmaṇas or ascetics at some auspicious time; by so doing a man secures all his desires and if he has no worldly desires he secures release (from *saṃsāra*).²¹⁰²
