N. P. pp. 30-31 (about the duties of kings and their acting in the peculiar ways of five gods, viz. Indra, Sūrya, Yama, Soma and Vāyu). The Dāyabhāga quotes the Mārkaṇḍeya-purāṇa for pointing out that \*sāpiṇḍya\* in the matter of inheritance and succession is different from sāpiṇḍya for the periods of aśauca (impurity on death¹⁶³⁴). The Kṛtyakalpataru on Rājadharma (pp. 182-183) quotes a passage from Skandapurāṇa on the festival of Kaumudīmahotsava to be celebrated by the king. The same passage is quoted by R. N. P. pp. 419-421. - [Previous: v7.c91.287](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v7.c91.287) - [Next: v7.c91.289](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v7.c91.289) - [Up: v7.c91](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v7.c91) ## Cites (3) - [Mārkaṇḍeyapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.24.5) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Skandapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.skanda) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Dāyabhāga](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.dharma.nibandha.gauda.pracina.dayabhaga) — Jīmūtavāhana, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v7.c91.288](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v7.c91.288) · Pramāṇa
