When I wrote in my second post:(without having checked what Kane — or possibly David — says thereabout) I made this conjecture on the sole basis of Burnell's statement ( https://archive.org/stream/It is possible that the portion listing the sixty four anÄcÄras and corresponding to adhyÄya 12, pÄda 4 of the  LaghudharmaprakÄÅ›ikÄ, was separately known as the AnÄcÄra-nirṇayaordinancesofmanu00manu#page/  ) pointed out by Madhav:Ân55/mode/2up "And in Malabar, Cochin and Travancore this [= the fact that "even among South Indian Brahmans numberless usual practices are opposed to the Sanskrit law"] is so much the case, that a small manual called the AnÄcÄranirṇaya has been composed to enumerate them — fn: This tract is attributed to Çaá¹…kara of course (...)"Since no Kerala manuscript appears to bear this title.ÂNow in checking dharma texts entitled ÄcÄraḥ, ÄcÄrasaá¹…grahaḥ, keralÄcÄrasaá¹…grahaḥ, found in catalogues, I came across a short tract entitled ĀcÄranirṇaya or KeralÄcÄranirṇaya ascribed to Śaá¹…karÄcarya (several MSS. in the KUML, apparently described in the Descr. Cat. Curator's Office Library as the no. 371B, i.e. in vol. 2 1938, unfortunately not at hand) which must correspond to Burnell's reference and deserves to be more closely regarding the Kerala… anÄcÄras.Best wishes,CPS: correct the typo in my very first post (already giving the references usefully repeated by Parpola and Olivelle): "the LaghudharmaprakÄÅ›ikÄ attributed to one Śaá¹…kara [not ŚÄá¹…kara], also known as ŚÄá¹…karasmá¹›ti."Le 7 juin 2017 à 12:59, Olivelle, J P via INDOLOGY <indology@list.indology.info> a écrit :______________________________Dear Madhav:
Don Davis is the person to consult on this. There are several texts written about “anÄcÄra†— which is, contrary to what it seems, is actually practices that are proper but goes against the ÄcÄra of the smá¹›tis and are OK in Kerala. The CESMEO published a text called ÅšÄá¹…karasmá¹›ti alias LaghudharmaprakÄÅ›ikÄ, edited and translated by N. P. Unni in 2003. In Ch. 12 of that work there is a list of 64 anÄcÄras.

I found an interesting reference in A. C. Burnell's The Ordinances of Manu, (Intro. p. xxxvii) to a work titled AnÄcÄranirṇaya composed in Kerala to discuss "deviations" from Brahmanical DharmaÅ›Ästras. According the footnote on this page, this work was evidently attributed to Åšaá¹…kara. This may be the source of ÅšÄmaÅ›ÄstrÄ« Draviá¸a Dvivedi using the expression ÄcÄryaÅ›Äpadagdha to refer to these regions. Here is the passage from Burnell:
I wonder if anyone has come across this work titled AnÄcÄranirṇaya. Any help?

Dear Colleagues,
   In one of the curious passages of the VedavicÄra (written by ÅšÄmaÅ›ÄstrÄ« Draviá¸a DvivedÄ«) that I am editing, the author says that though the Gurjara's are included among DrÄviá¸as, other DrÄviá¸as do not have any educational, ritual or marriage relations with them, because like the Gauá¸adeÅ›a, there is too much anÄcÄra "immoral behavior" among them, and like the Brahmins of Kerala, they were cursed by an Ä€cÄrya, and therefore, other DrÄviá¸as do not have any relations with them. Here is the passage from the text:
यथा गà¥à¤°à¥à¤œà¤°à¤¾à¤£à¤¾à¤‚ दà¥à¤°à¤¾à¤µà¤¿à¤¡à¤¾à¤¨à¥à¤¤à¤ƒà¤ªà¤¾à¤¤à¤¿à¤¨à¤¾à¤®à¤ªà¤¿ दà¥à¤°à¤¾à¤µà¤¿à¤¡à¥ˆà¤ƒ सह à¤à¥‹à¤œà¤¨à¤¾à¤¦à¤¿à¤¸à¤‚वà¥à¤¯à¤µà¤¹à¤¾à¤°à¤¾à¤¦à¤¿à¤•à¤‚ नासà¥à¤¤à¤¿, तथैवाधà¥à¤¯à¤¯à¤¨à¤¾à¤¦à¤¿à¤•à¤®à¤ªà¥€à¤¤à¤¿ जà¥à¤žà¥‡à¤¯à¤®à¥ । कà¥à¤¤à¥‹ गà¥à¤°à¥à¤œà¤°à¤¾à¤£à¤¾à¤‚ संवà¥à¤¯à¤µà¤¹à¤¾à¤°à¤¾à¤à¤¾à¤µ इति चेदà¥à¤šà¥à¤¯à¤¤à¥‡ । गौडदेशवदà¥à¤—à¥à¤°à¥à¤œà¤°à¤¦à¥‡à¤¶à¥‡à¤½à¤ªà¥à¤¯à¤¨à¤¾à¤šà¤¾à¤°à¤¬à¤¾à¤¹à¥à¤²à¥à¤¯à¤¾à¤¤à¥ तेषामाचारà¥à¤¯à¤¶à¤¾à¤ªà¤¦à¤—à¥à¤§à¤¤à¥à¤µà¤¾à¤¤à¥à¤•à¥‡à¤°à¤²à¤¦à¥‡à¤¶à¥€à¤¯à¤¬à¥à¤°à¤¾à¤¹à¥à¤®à¤£à¤¾à¤¦à¤¿à¤µà¤¤à¥à¤¸à¤‚वà¥à¤¯à¤µ हाराà¤à¤¾à¤µ इति संकà¥à¤·à¥‡à¤ªà¤ƒ ।Â
If anyone has a clue as to what this Ä€cÄryaÅ›Äpa refers to, it would help me make better sense of this passage. Similarly, it is not clear what anÄcÄrabÄhulya he is referring to in the Gauá¸a/Gurjara and Kerala regions. Any suggestions will be helpful. Best,
