Dharma Shastra

The Dharam Shastra is a collection of twenty Hindu smritis, which contains all the knowledge about the ancient Hindu religious laws, literature, and codes which govern life. The value of Dharam Shastra as a sacred record of this life and customs of the ancient Hindus stands supreme over every Hindu religious work. A careful study of this supreme work is wrought with immense value and literary profit not only to the student of classical Hindu literature but to the general reader as well. The reader will not only be able to form an estimate of the lie and conduct, so glorious and eminent in themselves, but will also be able to regulate their own life and conduct. The learned scholar has, in this collected edition, given us the complete text of all the twenty similarities, fully edited. The translation is as literal as could be attempted, keeping an eye on its accuracy and literary excellence. To elucidate the text and translation, the author has appendix, elaborate and carefully made out notes. The present edition is being reissued in its complete form – text and translation in 6 volumes. A great vacuum in the literature of the Hindus shall be filled with the publication of this master-piece.
