Brahmanical Theories of the Gift - A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation of the Danakanda of the Krtyakalpataru (Hardcover, Annotated edition)

This volume constitutes the first critical edition and translation into any modern language of a dananibandha, a classical Hindu legal digest devoted to the culturally and religiously important topic of gifting. Specifically, it is a critical edition-based upon all identifiable manuscripts-and complete, annotated translation of the Danakanda ("Book on Gifting"), the fifth section of the encyclopedic Krtyakalpataru (c. 1114-1154) of Laksmidhara and the earliest extant dananibandha. David Brick has included an extensive historical introduction to the text and its subject matter.
