This edited volume provides the complete text of Govil Gṛhyasūtram, a necessary text for studying the domestic customs and rites of a major Vedic branch. The editor's clear Bengali translation and extensive notes accompany the original Sanskrit Sūtras and the classic Ṭīkā (commentary). It systematically covers rituals from the initial কর্মের অধিকারী ও কাল নির্ণয় (Karmer Adhikārī o Kāl Nirṇay - Determining eligibility and timing for rituals), through the বিবাহাদি সংস্কার প্রকরণ (Vivāhādi Saṁskāra Prakaraṇa - Marriage and other rites), to the daily fire offerings. This edition is highly valued by scholars. For related texts, see our dedicated section on Vedic Literature.
