The Manusmriti is the most important and earliest metrical work of Dharmasastra textual tradition of Hinduism. It is a standard work on Hindu law. Indian tradition unanimously regards Manu as the first progenitor of the human race and also its first legislator. This Manu was believed to the founder of the social and moral order of society. 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.
