I came across the following verse in the kaushikasUtram and it doesn't seem to make sense to me, although that might be because the language in the verse is very complex in terms of literary quality and quite repetitive in structure. Therefore, could anyone here translate the following for me...
When going through a Veganism thread in the Hinduism forum, I came across the following post which I couldn't quite understand, so rather than necropost on that thread, I thought I might as well start a new thread:

I'm wondering how, if the Śatapathabrāhmaṇam supposedly predates the purāṇāni (according to Indologists), how they (Indologists) reconcile their claim with the mention of "Itihāsapurāṇam" in the text. Any thoughts?
I have a quick question, which would you find more offensive?:

2) The view that if you do not follow my belief system, then you are the worst of...
Wow, it seems that Sāgarikā Ghosh (or, as I call her, Shaggy Goose) wrote an article about how we should rewrite the Puruṣasūktam back in 2006. Dang... I though her comment about Rāma was bad:

I recently came across the following verse in the Dvitīyollāsaḥ of the Kulārṇavatantram and it seems to be quite sectarian, a bit ironic since I've heard on these forums that Śākta-s are generally the least sectarian of all Hindu "sects," :rolleyes:...

Koṭi-koṭi praṇāma to everyone,
I have a quick question: has anyone ever read the Vaiṣṇava-dharmaśāstram? I've read other dharmaśāstra-texts (the Yājñavalkya-Smṛti, Nārada-Smṛti, and Manu Smṛti specifically), but...
