History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v7.c93.533

v7.c93.533

Dharmaśāstra works often utilize this adhikaraṇa called *balābala* (PMS III. 3 14). For example, the Par. M. quotes²¹⁵³ a śruti passage that one should perform the daily evening *sandhyā* adoration of Āditya (the sun) with mantras addressed to Varuṇa and remarks that "*Vāruṇībhiḥ*" (like Aindryā) is only liṅga while, 'Ādityam-upatiṣṭhāya' is śruti (direct assertion) and therefore the sun is to be worshipped in the evening with mantras addressed to Varuṇa and refers to the example 'aindryā gārhapatyam upatiṣṭhate' for support.
