History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v6.c81.356

v6.c81.356

The most important tithi in the month of Āṣāḍha is Ekādaśī. A voluminous literature has grown round Ekādaśī in the Purāṇas and medieval digests There are separate treatises on Ekādaśī written by medieval writers, such as the Ekādaśī-viveka of Śūlapāni and the Ekādaśītattva of Raghunandana. Besides, such medieval digests as Kālaviveka (pp 425-451), Hemādri on Kāla pp. 145-288, Kālanirṇaya of Mādhava (pp. 233-275), Vratarāja pp 361-475, Kāla-tattvavivecana (pp 98-172) devote hundreds of pages to discussions on Ekādaśī. Endeavour would be made to write about most of the numerous matters relating to Ekādaśī, but everything would have to be compressed in as small a space as possible
