Preface
This is part two of two of the Sacred Books of the East translation of the Grihya Sutras. The Grihya Sutras are Vedic-era Hindu texts which define rituals and laws relating to birth, initiation, marriage, and death. This volume includes a synoptic comparison of each version, as well as Max Müllers' translation of Apastamba's Yagna-Paribhasha-Sutras and commentary, which features a special index.
