"The Fifth Prapāṭhaka of the Vādhüla Śrautasütra includes a critical edition, followed by a translation and a commentary, of the fifth chapter (prapāṭhaka) of the Vādhüla Śrautasütra. This chapter is dedicated to the description of the so-called ""independent"" animal sacrifice (nirüḍhapa&sacuteubandha) in Vedic ritual. This series of short monographs relates to particular aspects of the animal sacrifice described in the Veda and to problems of exegesis of Vedic texts.

The first part of this edition presents the translation and commentary, while the critical edition makes up the second part. The commentary highlights the peculiarities of the Vādhüla version of the nirüḍhapa&sacuteubandha. In the conclusion of the first part, the ancientness of the Vādhüla school is discussed, as well as its place within the corpus of Taittirīya texts."
