Kapila Smṛti
Traditional attribution
Kapila Smṛti
कपिलस्मृति
A text of law and conduct (dharma) included in the Smṛti-sandarbha collection of minor smṛtis. Its ascription to Kapila is one more among the many that associated his name with rules for ascetic life: the Baudhāyana Dharmasūtra already ascribed rules for renouncers to him. There is no critical study of its date or content.
