Tirupati
“Khilādhikāraḥ” is a valuable work of sage Bhṛgu. This
book contains lot of information right from ploughing the land and
construction of the temple. Important features of Vaikhanasagama
like construction of the temple, consecrations, installations, the idols,
various sub-rituals are vividly explained. As a result, this book is
highly useful to the followers of Vaikhanasagama which is adapted
in Srivari Temple of Triumala.
“Khilādhikāraḥ” was first edited by the veteran scholar
Sriman Rompicherla Parthasarathi Bhattacharya and was published
by TTD in 1961. The second and third editions appeared
respectively in 1997 and 2018. I am happy to announce the fourth
edition of this highly demanded book. The responsibility of editing
and preparing the blemishless press copy was given to S.V. Vedic
University. I record my sincere thanks to Prof. S. Sudarsana Sarma,
Vice-Chancellor and his team of scholars for their successful
contribution. Praying the lord of Seven Hills to bless us to serve him
better, I present the fourth Edition of “Khilādhikāraḥ” to the
intelligentsia.
