Study of Mānavadharmaśāstra of Manu, text on ancient Hindu law. |
| Expansion of summary note |
This scholarly work analyzes the Manusmr̥ti, one of the most influential Dharmaśāstras in Hindu tradition. Parnasabari Bhattacharyya explores its central conceptualizations — including dharma, varna, āśrama, purity and pollution, law, ethics, and social duties. The study highlights how these categories shaped ancient Indian legal, social, and religious thought, and influenced cultural traditions. With critical analysis and extensive references, the book situates the Manusmr̥ti as both a normative legal text and a mirror of societal structures in early Indian civilization. |
