Hinduism - Who Is Vachaspati Mishra?

 

Vachaspati Mishra (ca. late 15th c.) was a Dharma literary commentator and compiler.

During his professional life, he wrote hundreds of writings, including digests (nibandha) on a variety of topics, including daily religious rituals, purification, pilgrimage, death rites (antyeshthi samskara), political life, judicial procedures, and burial rites.

Mishra would choose information relevant to the topic from a variety of religious literature, weigh it, and sometimes explain their view on a theological problem in these digests.

Mishra was well-liked for his knowledge and devotion, and his writings were a valuable resource for those who followed him.
