Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 sAstrasArA : Essence of the scriptures. This and the next name should be explained as the preceding one. SAstra, Vedas, for it is explained in the Ved-sUtra {i.1.3] "from its being the source of SAstra" The doctrine of the followers of Tantra also is that which lays down rules [vidhi] is SAstra; of sAstra, the mimAmsA, etc which follow the VidhisAstra. The BhAmati [comm. on Sri SamkarAcArya's comm. on the Ved-sUtras by VAcaspati-Misra] says, "That is called SAstra by which, whether revealed texts or otherwise [Veda or Smrti], men are instructed to act or to refrain" BhAskararAya's Commentary Translated into English by R.
