P. Jayaswal offers a comprehensive analysis of Hindu legal literature, spanning Dharma-Sûtras, Dharma Śāstras, and later Commentaries and Treatises.\u003cbr\u003e• It focuses particularly on the two foundational legal texts of ancient India—the Code of Manu and the Code of Yājñavalkya—exploring their respective roles in shaping orthodox and practical Hindu law.\u003cbr\u003e• The Code of Manu, revered as the cornerstone of Hindu legal tradition, is contrasted with the more pragmatic and widely adopted Code of Yājñavalkya, which in practice has often superseded the former.\u003cbr\u003e• This volume is notable for being one of the few authoritative texts that conducts a comparative and critical study of both legal systems.\u003cbr\u003e• Based on the Tagore Law Lectures delivered at the University of Calcutta, the book stands as a significant contribution to the constitutional and legal history of ancient India.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cosmo Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49780123304240,"sku":"DRG.CosmoPub_8177557688","price":423.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/cosmo-publications-book-default-title-manu-and-yajnavalkya-40791120019760.webp?v=1775979479","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/manu-and-yajnavalkya","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
