# Artha-saṃgraha (Laugākṣi Bhāskara)

The Artha-saṃgraha of Laugākṣi Bhāskara (c. 17th century CE) is the standard concise primer of Pūrva-Mīmāṃsā, compactly stating the kinds of Vedic sentence (injunction, prohibition, arthavāda, mantra, nāmadheya) and the rules for applying ritual elements (viniyoga). This bundle cites it where a crisp textbook formulation of a definition or a rule is the most useful reference.
