About the Book
The Yajnavalkya Smrti, a Dharmasastra ascribed to the ancient sage Yajnavalkya, is a seminal text that outlines religious, civil, and criminal law, and serves as a cornerstone of Indian jurisprudence. Composed during the Gupta period (4th-5th century CE), this work represents the culmination of a thousand-year-old legal tradition.
This critical edition, paired with the translation published in the Murty Classical Library of India, opens a window into both the golden age of the Guptas and a central text in the rich and enduring Indian legal tradition. By making this ancient text accessible to modern readers, the book sheds light on the philosophical underpinnings of Indian law and its influence on the cultural and legal fabric of the subcontinent.
This work is an essential read for those interested in Indian legal history, ancient Sanskrit texts, and the history of law in the Indian subcontinent.
