The Manusmriti is the most important and earliest metrical work of Dharmasastra textual tradition of Hinduism. It is a standard work on Hindu law.

Tracing backwards from the Smritis to the Vedas we found the consciousness of Manu’s being the first law giver present in every epoch of Sanskrit literature.
