Description
About The Book: Institutes of Hindu Law: or, the Ordinances of Menu, According to the Gloss of Cullúca is a significant work by Sir William Jones, first published in 1794. The book presents an English translation of the ancient Hindu legal text, Manusmriti, based on the gloss by the commentator Cullúca. It outlines the Hindu system of duties, both religious and civil, reflecting the social and moral codes in ancient India. Jones's translation was pivotal in introducing Hindu law to the Western world, influencing early British colonial administration in India.
