Śaunaka-smrti
From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
By Swami Harshananda
Śaunaka has been mentioned as an author of a smṛti by the Manusmrti.[1] His work has not been traced till now. A work called Praṇavakalpa with a commentary of Hemādri[2] is known to have existed. Numerous works are attributed to Śaunaka. However, it is difficult to say whether they are by the same person. Some of these are:
- Arkavivahapaddhatv
- Ekadandisamnyāsavidhi
- Adbhutotpatti-śānti
- Jīvacchrāddhaprayoga
- Prayoga-pārijāta
