Bücher der Reihe The Sacred Books of the East (Volume 30 of 50)

The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume series, encompasses the seven non-Christian religions of Asia: Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, and Islam. Translated into English by authorities in their respective fields, these sacred texts have been edited by F. Max Muller and have profoundly influenced civilization. The Grihya Sutras Part 2 (1892) translated by Oldenberg and Müller, is volume XXX of The Sacred Books of the East, a series available from Cosimo Classics. This book is in two parts and focuses on Hinduism. Part 2 contains the sutras of Gobhila, Hiranyakesin, and Apastamba which pertain to domestic rituals, and the Apastamba Yagña Paribhasha sutras which relate to sacrifices. This text is for readers interested in deepening their understanding of Hinduism.
