About the book:-The Grihya-Sutras, Rules of Vedic Domestic Ceremonies Part I contains: Sankhyayana-Grihya-sutra, Asvalayana-Grihya-sutra, Paraskara-Ghrihya-sutra, Khadia-Grihya-sutra, This is part one of two of the Sacred Books of the East translation of the Grihya Sutras. The Grihya Sutras are a collection of late Vedic-era (ca. 500 BCE) household rituals and regulations, many reflecting much more ancient traditions. It is like reading a time-travelling ethnographer's field notes in Vedic India. Included are fertility and marriage ceremonies, ritual purity laws, plus material on initiations, funerals and other rites of passage. This volume also includes a complete Sanskrit transliteration of the text of the Khadira-Grihya-Sutra. The Gnhya-siitra ascribed to Sankhiyana, which has been edited and translated into German in the XVth volume of the Indische Studien, is based on the first of the four Vedas, the Rig-veda in the Bishkala recension and among the Brahmana texts, on the Kaushltakn. About the Author:-Friedrich Max Müller (1823 –1900) was a German-born philologist and Orientalist, who lived and studied in Britain for most of his life. He was one of the founders of the western academic disciplines of Indian studies and religious studies ('science of religion', German: Religionswissenschaft). Müller wrote both scholarly and popular works on the subject of Indology. The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume set of English translations, was prepared under his direction. Hermann Oldenberg (1854 1920) was a German scholar of Indology, and Professor at Kiel (1898) and Göttingen (1908). His 1881 study on Buddhism, entitled Buddha: Sein Leben, seine Lehre, seine Gemeinde, based on Pāli texts, popularized Buddhism and has remained continuously in print since its first publication. With T. W. Rhys Davids, he edited and translated into English three volumes of Theravada Vinaya texts, two volumes of the (Vedic) Grhyasutras and two volumes of Vedic hymns on his own account, in the monumental Sacred Books of the East series edited by Max Müller. With his Prolegomena (1888), Oldenberg laid the groundwork to the philological study of the Rigveda. In 1919 he became a foreign member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.
