कौशिक गृह्यसूत्र.

Resource Type : Manuscript
Subject : Grhya Sutras
Script : Devanagari Handwriting
Notes/Description : Fragmentary. We have two defective copies of the Kaus'ika Grhyasutra; both together, however, almost complete the text, which has 14 Adhyayas containing 141 sections in all. The number of sections of the different Adhyayas is respectively 9, 8, 7, 12, 10, 3, 10, 9, 6, 5, 10, 3, 44 and 5. It is edited with notes and introduction by M. Bloomfield, New Haven, 1890. This sutra only partly treats of the household ceremonies. It is much more extensive than the other Grghyasutras and contains instructions regarding the performance of those charms in which the hymns and expressions from the Atharva Veda are employed. Thus the Kaus’ikasutra is a valuable supplement to the A. V. Sanhita. See Winternitz, Geschichte, I. p. 239.
